After seeing the actinic shot about 15 pages back, I have to ask for another one since they have grown in... hope the treatments are going well, Chuck.

They are in the traveling mode at the moment. A couple of them have moved to the sides of the tank. Treatments seem to be going OK so far.

All of your tanks are amazing chuck! I have a question about your ricordea tank. What t5 bulbs are you using and are they being overdriven? When you buy new bulbs will you get the same?

Thank you! I'm using 39 watt HO bulbs.
2 - ATI Blue Plus
1 - ATI Aquablue Special
1 - ATI Pro Color
1 - UVL Super Atinic
1 - UVL 10000K AquaSun

They are not being over driven and will probably replace with the same when time comes. This is my first experince with T5's. This combination of bulbs was suggested to me by ReefGeek's and I am happy with the colors and the growth of the rics.

I got a great deal on some Picasso rejects that I have place in the QT tank for the time being. I was surprised how they went straight for the anemone.....

They don't look like rejects to me. Pretty cool group of clowns! They look happy all hudled in the nem. Are they as small as they look in the pic?

Off spring from a pair of Picasso clowns, they are about 18 weeks old. Most of them are about 1/2" in length. I thought that it would be interesting to see how the markings change as they get older.

A couple of new additions to the tank today... a pair of Pearl Eye Bicinctus Clownfish.

I was told that they were 18 weeks old. Since that picture was taken, they have figured out that there is a second anemone in the tank. What surprised me most, is that the picture was taken 5 minutes after they had been placed in the tank. I couldn't believe tank raised clowns would take to the anemone that quickly. I have a pair of black tank raised percs in another tank that I have never seen in any of the anemones in that tank. Go figure....

Any ORA black clowns I have bought have gone straight to my Nems within the first night. I have had the exact opposite experience with wild caught clowns I have bought in the past. Kinda weird how that works. Great Pic!

Thank you! I guess it's hard to figure what will happen.

A couple of new little ones in the QT tank right now.

Neat clowns goodwin9. I saw some odd looking ones at a LFS that were from New Guinea. I should have taken a picture to post.
