I see a lot of room for coral. Should look awesome once it fills in.

EDIT : just saw 4 clowns. That could get interesting assuming they are all small and not paired.

Nice start!

I would just do 2 paired clowns, may become a blood bath later on.

I like the blue background, really brightens up the tank. I always go black but like blue better lol My new tank looks really dingy with the black since there are no corals yet.

I was worried about the clowns also, they where a have to take when I bought the tank.

Maybe keep an eye on them and if it gets bad see about bringing them in to a lfs. I'm not a fan of adding small clowns and hoping they pair up. It works sometimes but sometimes it doesn't and I hate watching fish fight. I like to start with a single then add a male later after I'm sure the first has transitioned to female.

I have been watching very closely. I have also been looking for signs they have been fighting incase they are doing it when I'm not looking. I am an animal lover and never want to be the cause of pain for them!
