Hey R2R, it’s been a minute. I wanted to post an update so I can look back at this in a few months and see the progress on everything.

ALOT has happened since the last thread to say the least. It started with me debating shutting down the entire system and giving it away for free.

Fast forward a few weeks, the QT tank has been setup for around 4-5 weeks and the copper power has been at therapeutic level for the last 2 weeks. Hopefully I can move the fish in Mid April and finally get over this QT phase.

Everything is done fine and eating in QT, however unfortunately I lost the smaller black storm clown due to relentless bullying from the larger one who’s definitely the visible female.

First time reefer mistakes getting two juvenile clowns at the same size and hoping they’ll figure it out am I right.

I’ve been busy adding frags into the main display and new inverts.

I’m going to make a new thread on this silly mistake that cost me a chalice frag as well.
(I hope no one has done this before)

Anyways I can make this thread miles long but I’ll just attach some pictures for those who wants to follow along.

Happy Sunday!

To help with the clownfish aggression towards each other, get a clear acclimation box and put one clownfish in it. They will work it out pretty quickly and harmlessly. Mine worked it out within 3 days.
