Agreed!!Thanks, This is my 2nd aquatop all in one, I think there a great starting point with plenty of room to personalize/upgrade.
I'm planning on doing 12 mixed varieties of Occalaris sp. Right now I'm working with a couple LFSs to put together the order but its difficult. So I'm just enjoying learning about BTAs. Good luck with yours, if I can help let me knowLooking great. How many clowns are you planning to add? Do you have a source? Have a similar build underway in a 55g, thinking of adding 11 clowns.
Yeah, I've decided the challenge of keeping the clowns together is enough degree of difficulty for me. I decided to keep to BTAs and Clowns. I'm trying to stick to only adding things to the tank that benefit either the clowns or the BTAs.If I was going straight anemones, I'd agree. One already stung a monti pretty good and two of them kicked some leathers off their perch, lol.
If the sand gets dirty, BRS had some diamond gobies in their harem tank that seemed to work out.Yeah, I've decided the challenge of keeping the clowns together is enough degree of difficulty for me.

Yep, I've watched that series a bunch. That's my inspiration only with more varietyIf the sand gets dirty, BRS had some diamond gobies in their harem tank that seemed to work out.
Thanks. If I had my way I would have clowns already but putting together my clown order has been difficult for my LFSs. I've only got one shot at adding the fish so I'm being patient. It's frustrating not having the clowns but I'm learning so much about the BTAs,Can’t wait to see photos of your fishy-fins making this their home!
LOL. I aim to please. I read the same info as well as conflicting opinions. I ended up contacting ORA and talked with one of their reps who told me if you started while they were young as long as I matched size a mixed group has as good of success as any. I'm setting up the auto feeder now, trying to do all I can to limit aggression.Wow, congrats! They look amazing. Interested to see how they all get along. Others have suggested to start with young ones all from the same clutch.
Also, this has been the quickest build thread I've ever read.
Not sure how to judge my skimmer. I find that even with the skimmer adjusted to its lowest setting, it still produces alot of skimmate. Im hoping its still in its break in phase. Picture shows roughly 24 hrs. Its producing so overall I'm satisfied. I just find it odd that I have no margin for adjustment but when I test for nitrates and phosphate my results tell me to leave things alone!Let me know how that xyclone skimmer works out. I had one for 6 months or so, but couldn't ever get it dialed in to skim consistently.
Good luck. Hopefully they'll host soon.This is what desperate looks like! Lol. Im resisting the idea of netting and forcing introduction but I'm running out of patience! Not really, everyone is doing great, clowns all continue to coexist peacefully and BTAs are looking good.
