Also can I ask what are your parameters? Temp ? Ph? Etc etc.

That is if you don't mind?
Thanks!

Temp-80
ph-8.2
ammonia-0
nitrite-0
nitrate-15

Thats all I have tests for.

Got a video of my female clown trying to jump to get at me. She is one mean little bugger.

Great tank! The hammer actually looks like a "Fr-ammer", if that's a term at all, or frogspawn-hammer? Either way, love the color on it!

I also usually do not like black sand asthetically, but your tank looks great with it. Last FTS was a great pic. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the parameters! Good looking clowns too!

Yeah the "hammer" has me puzzled I moved it a little so now it gets a little more polyp extension.

Did some trading with a fellow reefer on here today.

Nice indeed but as you know they "grow" .... so a move to a larger tank is IMO a real good idea !

Yes I know, he will only be in this tank for a few months. When we get to fort bliss I'm putting everything that is in here, except my watchman, in my 36 gallon. I plan on making this tank a macro planted/nps tank with my goby and a pistol shrimp.

And even then I may put him in my predator tank if I ever get it up and running which will at least be 55 gallons.

I guess you'll have to decide whatever is best and what works for you but in a 55 .. nice !

Picked up a blue bottle brush acro yesterday. It is a little more faded than the picture the guy showed me but it has good polyp extension so I am confident that I can get the color to come back.

My green slimer is doing much better now that I put it back in this tank, color and pe is amazing and is showing new growth at its base!

Nice..

Thanks, kinda upset about my chalice though. It was fine when I bought it but I guess on the ride home it got jostled around and a little piece got chipped off. (The white part that looks bleached. It should grow back right?
