awpong Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 thanks. like once daily feedings? Well my other tank has a harem of flasher wrasses and a sunburst anthias, so I feed that tank 3 times a day. However, I'll usually throw a small portion of food into my 20L while I'm feeding the other tank. But other than those tiny additions of food, it's just one main feeding. The main reason I throw the extra food in the tank is because I want my clowns to start breeding. I've heard that more food is a good incentive to start breeding. Link to comment
awpong Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Here's a quick tank video I threw together this afternoon. I was hoping the video quality would have come out a wee bit better, but it's alright. Enjoy Link to comment
awpong Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 What the hell... has anyone else had this happen? This pair has been together since January of last year, but they just recently decided to choose different hosts. My female clown has been residing in the frogspawn for quite a while now: But apparently my male got sick of the female chasing him away, so he decided to take up residence right next door.

awpong Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Alright... She won't let him have anything nice. My female decided that my male didn't deserve to host anything. So.... now she spends half her time in my frogspawn, and half her time in my torch.... My male is without a home again. At least during the day. At night the female stays in the frogspawn and the male will chill in the torch. Link to comment

At night the female stays in the frogspawn and the male will chill in the torch. Female clownfish can be so moody... I had a pair for 5 years that were on again, off again constantly. Of course the female decided when the male could come home and when he had to go sleep somewhere else. Oh, and her home...it was a 14" Gigantea amemone! She was ridiculous about sharing the space. The male was usually allowed back a week before the female was ready to lay eggs and then kicked out soon after the eggs hatched. My wife thinks he was cheating on her. We found the anemone eating a very pretty Midas Blenny who my wife says the male invited home and got caught. Link to comment
awpong Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'll post an updated FTS later when I get my tripod back from my friend. I've had a lot of growth since the last update and the tank is looking great. Anyways, here are some pictures and a few updates: Here is one of the pieces that I had that's been recovering nicely. Before: Now: I also noticed that some of my Pinwheel/Eye of Rah zoas are starting to morph and they look neat. You can see how they developed a yellow mouth as opposed to the typical orange. And here's just a cool pic of my six line wrasse. Link to comment
altolamprologus Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Very nice! The difference in that acro is absolutely amazing. How much time in between the pics? Link to comment
awpong Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 Very nice! The difference in that acro is absolutely amazing. How much time in between the pics? The first picture was taken back in September, but the color didn't start to come back until about a month and a half ago. Buying the RO/DI unit and cleaning my skimmer really helped a lot. When I get my tripod back from my friend I'll take a FTS and show how much all of my SPS has really perked up color wise. Link to comment
awpong Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Here's the new FTS as promised. I'm a little sad that my clam has decided to reattach to the rock sideways and that my orange shrooms bleached a little. Other than that, the rest of the coral is thriving and my sps' colors have never been more vibrant! Link to comment

They look great, and it looks like they've grown quite a bit as well. Your tanks never cease to amaze me Link to comment

Bonk Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Wow, first time I seen this tank today and I think its beautiful man. I actually just picked up a neon green torch yesterday and its already my favorite coral in the tank. How did you mount the frogspawn to the overflow? Just glue? Link to comment

Yea, it's just normal superglue gel, but I did add some epoxy to the skeleton to create a flat surface to lay flush against the overflow. Link to comment
