Was wondering if anyone else has had a tank that never went through the ugly stage
Tank cycled normally and added two clowns
After 18 months still no sign of ugly stage

I set up my nano with dry rock (new Reel Reef) but used water from my larger FOWLR after doing a water change; I did not experience any instances of the uglies. I’m sure someone much more knowledgeable will chime in, did you use live rock? Any bottled bacteria?
 
I used dry rock and a couple live rock from lfs
Added dr. Tims and used ammo. Chloride and fritz 9
