they are quite peaceful, especially if tank bred. Its the cheaper strawberrys that you have to watch out for.

They are fine!

As Ben said, those stats are fine - most tanks run around that anyway - nice to have 0 nitrates but most don't

Ben means to buy the other tests, like mag etc

[youngfisher]

I think he means other test kits, we have them all ben, mag, calc etc. etc.

 

[OldFisher]

Hi,just a quick question....
Is it possible for me to add my 2 Percula clown fish into my tank if i already have a maroon yellow banded clown in there ? would he kill them?? I have my percs in my orca450 frag tank and would love to seee them swimming together in there or maybe i could remove the maroon and put the 2 percs in and maybe add a feww more percs to shoal?? Thoughts please THANKS
PS: i have the percula 90 tank 270 litre.....

Hi OF.

That wont work. You need a masisve tank to get away with more than a pair of clwons. The maroon will already see the tank as his.

Also to add a group of clowns, you need to add them all at the same time as sexless juvies.

Hi,sorry ive been a bit absent here ,what with my tank now taking over all my spare time and trying to navigate this new layout on the forum
I bought three new corals this evening:
1st was a 2 kilo piece of live rock plastered in yellow polyps which now resides in my orca450,as ive now moved it from a frag tank and scaped it with live rock i also bought at the same time.
2nd was a 7 headed torch coral,picture below under my blue aquaray lights.
3rd was a coral i need help with please it was the only one left in his tank apart from a bubble tip anemone which i didnt take enough money for(looks around for wife) So could someone please identify for me.Picture also below.Its bright orange and has a mouth in the centre and was on his sand bed and thats where it is now in my tank.
Many thanks and hope your all well and tanks are going good

Nice torch, I like to see bigger corals

And the lovely coral on the sand bed is a fungia, good buy. Take a look at The coral of the week -Fungia
