thanks for kind words everyone.

wetsleeves - the pair was collected together as a "colony" ie. anemone and clowns as they were found in the wild. they were together six months before they spawned. their set up is a 45 gallon cube, 400w halide over the top. two 3/4 sea swirls feed about 1200 gph into the tank. temperature fluctuates between 78 and 83. salinity 1.025. photoperiod with halides is about 10 hours, probably closer to 14 with natural light. they are fed typically twice a day an entire range of foods from frozen mysis, squid and brine to flakes from numerous companies. the only other fish in the tank are a school of chromis, which the clowns have whittled down from 6 to 2, and a bicolor blenny.

hope that helps!

Thanks!
That was more than I would have thought to ask and some of it you already mentioned. You're doing a great job so far. Good luck with the rest.
