Thanks for the info, dekalbs a pretty close drive.

Yea no prob let your tank cycle for a good while. Add a small goby or another peaceful fish you might want, to let the tank adjust to at least some sort of bioload maybe some coral, then wait another month or so. After that post up here, cause my friend wants to get a pair too, maybe we can all meet up there.

That would be cool. Yea i still havent decided on if i want a hermit or two yet and i havent decided on snails. So i still have alot of planning left.

Here are some updated pics on the clowns. You can really see the colors starting to come in now.

Before: (Dec 1st 07)

After: (Jan 16th 08)

Heres the little guy, hes starting to catch up in color. I dont think he'll ever get his third stripe in.

Looks pretty nice...and I think the decision to not put mayonnaise in your tank was the right one

sweetpickles7 · 01-16-2008, 04:58 PM

Very nice clowns!

Do you have any problem with the MH heating the tank too much? I am on the verge of buying this same tank (I have a 12g Aquapod with PC lights now) and I am wondering seriously about this issue. Frankly it is the only thing holding me back. My 12g now gets pretty warm in the summer months. Give me your best advise regarding this...thanks
