I traded in my old Perc clown that had been in my tank for way too long by himself and got so comfortable I was afraid to introduce any other fish. I got two lil baby clowns, so tiny and cute. Meet Krusty and Pesci! :celeb1:
 
Thanks man, Ive really increased the water changes of late and have noticed a difference. I also started adding ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS, we'll see if that is gonna help the zoo's rebound even more. Also added a rose anenome, Ill have a photo up soon.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet my new ROSE ANENOME!!! Wish me luck, I love these guys and am hoping it does good and the clowns bond with it...

Here's the latest overview of my tank with the new Rose up top in the back and you can kind of see my new emerald crab too...

Hope to get a better photo soon of the emerald crab, he's tough though-he likes to hide. Love him though. What do you guys think so far?
 
Ok, I want to add a fish to my two per clowns... Who wants to help? I was gonna get a Royal Gramma but the LFS and a few people on the forum said they can become bullies which is the last thing I want. If possible, Im looking for a beautiful fish that swims and doesnt hide all the time...

Also, I got my MP10 Thursday 8/18/2011 - so far so good!

and my new SHRIMP!!!

All the photos are iPhone so far, Ill get the SLR out soon and get some better shots when I like the look of things a bit more

Sidenote, I just started dosing with some stuff called FUEL that my LFS recommended...
 
Here's some shots of where I put my MP10, looking for some of you with MP10 experience to comment: I just have the one and the return going in a 29g...

Thanks guys, Im TRYING... Still need to get the new MP10 dialed in, going to the LFS soon to hopefully get a goby or fish and would like a couple more coral pieces—any suggestions? Thinking about getting a Brain coral to put in the middle on the sand. The anemone so far is doing well, still hasn't bonded with the clowns though which was a big part of why I wanted him. Ive been reading about ways to make that happen but want to wait a lil bit til he's fully comfortable in the tank.
 
I'd say go for intense colors on the new corals. See what you can find in bright yellow, green, orange, and blue to add diversity.
 
really good looking cube. i have a similar set up. wish i could do a MP10 but will have to settel for a korallia 425. did you add any extras in the overflow areas?
