Hello all from Sunny Orlando, FL

Great to hear.
That one clown has some suspicious black spots on him/her.
Lets see what we can find out, @redfishbluefish @melypr1985

They look to be spots caused by stings like from a nem or coral. They should heal on their own as the clown gets used to whatever it's trying to host.

@Diesel, I think you might have wanted @Humblefish over me. What I know about fish diseases would fit on a thimble!

Yes that's my female. She spend most of her time in the anemone and sleeps in it as well. I like her war wounds. Lol.

That makes sense. They develop a resistance to the nem in time and wont always have those spots. She's just getting used to her new home :)

I'll drink to both of these! Best of luck figuring out the black spots. Unfortunately I'm a DIY fix-it guy and not a disease guy!.

I'd keep doing water changes to dilute the nitrites. IMO it won't be easy to keep the nitrates under control with two fish in such a small tank. Do you have good filtration? Great tanks btw!

Thanks. I just finished doing another test just to ease my ocd mind. Lol. Everything is down to 0 all across the board. I'm running a desktop sock filter and a bag of Chemipure elite mini. I also keep a small ball of chaeto in the center chamber. First time this pico tank gives me a reading on anything. In either case I am building a 10 gallon Nuvo tank to move my bioload into and keep the pico tank as a zoas garden. I'm growing out some really nice zoanthids and palys in my 29 gal. biocube.
