Ocellaris and Red Sadle Clowns

I have a pair of Amphiprion ocellaris established in my 210. Can I add a single Amphiprion ephippium to the tank or am I asking for trouble?



Thanks,

Can you explain how a $500+ AC system that requires professional installation is far easier and cheaper that placing a $200 window air conditioner in a window and plugging it in?

Steveo,

Since you have 20' head, consider reducing your flow to around 5 times tank volume (900gph) and getting flow in your tank using a CLS or some Tunze streams.

If it is an all-glass 210, the dimensions are 72X24X29 and to measure internal volume you need only take 1/2" off on the height so: (71 X 23 X 28.5)/12/12/12 X 7.76 = 209.00

Before you run your penductor return through your chiller, you should check your chiller to make sure it can handle the back pressure. Some I have seen do not like back pressure at all...
