I guess it's probably normal then. In spite of the chasing etc. I haven't seen any signs of actual injury. I'll keep observing and learning. Thanks for the help.

Thanks Garygb. I think they had been together for a number of months. I was assuming that the larger one was a female, and was hoping that the smaller one is still male. I guess I was just a...

Thanks again Ian. Based on your description (thanks, I didn't know what to look for), they do appear to have adult coloration. They are both in (acutally under the tentacles hanging down) the...

Thanks for your help Ian. I think they are Sebae clowns. The larger one is probably about 3.5-4", and the smaller one is about .5-.75" smaller. As far as I can see, they have the same markings. ...

Do I Have a "Pair"

I purchased a system a couple of months ago. Included in the livestock were two clowns and a bubble tip. I never saw them interact very much before I moved the tank to my house (very limited...

I don't understand what you are saying here. You seem to disagree at first, and then say it is deductible? Maybe I am missing some sarcasm.

I think you could probably deduct a display tank at work in a waiting area for clients etc.

Once running, the tank can only fill up with water from the sump, so you don't need any extra. If the returns get clogged, the return pump will keep pumping until it is dry, and then it will return...

Thanks tkeracer619. If I quarantine, I will leave the tank fish-free for at least 72 days. It is my understanding that ich could possibly survive for up to 72 days in a system without fish (longer...

Thanks for the input. I am leaning towards just puting them in the display, especially after reading what Syrinx wrote. Maybe it just isn't realistic to have no ich in a system.

To clarify. I put the fish in the sump just so that they would be easy to catch when I was ready to start quaranteen. Now I don't know if I should quranteen or just move them to the display.

Yeah, I guess I should have clarified. The 55 gallon quranteen tank is totally separate. If I quaranteen I will move the fish to the separate tank and start the "clock" when I move them. I don't...

I pretty much moved the whole system water and all, so there hasn't been any significant cycle. The soft corals in the display have all done very well with the exception of some zenia that didn't...

Should I Quaranteen?

I purchased an existing 125 gallon tank and 55 gallon sump/refugium about 6 weeks ago. I have been keeping the fish (4" Kole Tang, 2 3" clown fish, a few chromis, 2 8" engineer gobies, and a pajama...

I'm sure Engine 7 has a lot more experience at this than I do. But I thought the flow from 4 1" outputs was a little stronger than I wanted (per outlet), so I am adding a couple of more outlets. I...

Thanks for the help. I will give it a shot. In fact, it has come to rest in a place just like that, so maybe it will just stay there. I will keep an eye on it. Thanks again.

Thanks dc. Would "low light" mean at the bottom of the tank, or in the shade?

That might be a little small. According to the overflow calculator on this site, a 2" pipe will flow almost 2500gph, and a 1" pipe will flow a little under 700 gph. The guys I bought mine from had...

I think that looks great. A lot better than your original IMO. In fact, I think you could just use 3/4" without the 1/2" if you wanted. Plywood is very strong when joined together at 90 degree...
