Thanks.
As for the reduced flow. I think that it does restrict flow a bit either way, so you may want to turn it up a little bit. As I mentioned, you will see it effecting the flow as it gets dirty, so make sure you clean it when it looks like it needs it.
I'll try to get the pictures of the split up today.

Here is a quick updated FTS. You can see the nems have not settled yet, and they are moving around.

I added some more to
my blog, but will add them here later.

There are a couple of snails in there, and there will be a bunch more soon to keep the sand clean.
I'm also setting up a BB SPS tank right now, so I'll need a lot of cleaners

sooooooooo,
Someone, and I don't want to say who, added the wrong clownfish to their shopping cart

so, instead of Black and White Occilaris, I got 2 clarkiis. I wasn't sure about them, but they are absolutely beautiful, so they went in

The both went into a nem immediately, so hopefully they stay.

Nothing wrong with Clarkiis, imo. Looks like everyone's happy - nice big bubble tips on that nem.

Nov 19 2009, 02:23 PM
Yeah a pair of clarkis are gonna get big in a 45 gallon cube eventually but should give you a good while of enjoyment before that eventuality. This is a nice picture my friend!!

Thanks buddy. I hope that since they are the only fish in there, that they will be ok for a while. I'll keep an eye on them. They have already started to like each other

You have beautiful color in those nems. Do your clowns host more than one nem? My clownfish hosts both of the ones in my tank.

I think I might add another false perc to my nem tank. Or just get rid of one and get a pair of Clarkiis haha. I don't know if I missed it, but what lights do you run over your tank? and what do you feed the nems?

Any plumbing shots of this tank? Like sump fuge etc?
Also that room looks like it houses more than one tank, anything else going on in there?

Currently, I am using 15K XM 250 DE in a lumanmax elite (blue wave 7). I feed the nems silverside and mysis, and they love it. I really am happy with the Clarkiis, and am still waiting for the first bite

The plumbing for this tank is really simple, just 2 1" drains and a 3/4" return. Since it dumps into the same sump as the other tanks in the room. Immediately next to this tank is my SPS tank (you can see it in my signature). And behind it my frag tank. They all use the same sump. I am doing these tanks until I am ready to get one big tank upstairs. I was ready, but then lost everything in the
crash of my 75 gallon. I was planning on taking all of those colonies and starting the new tank....but now I have nothing. I'll try to take more pics.

I got three new rescue anemones. 1 looks good, but the other two will probably still die.
Here is the first one, and one of the 9 sexy shrimp I added

Here are the two that are not doing well:
