About

Clownfish pair spends most of the day parked in the same corner of rockwork, six line wrasse darting around them like it owns the place. Coralline's slowly taking over the rock, filter and heater just do their job without any drama. Had a hair algae phase for a bit but it settled down on its own. Low maintenance setup, water changes and not much else.

algae

Getting a decent hair algae outbreak on the rock, kind of annoying honestly.

Note

first fish

Added the clownfish pair today, floated them in the bag for a bit then slowly added tank water in over like 20 min before releasing. Rock's got some coralline starting to show and a couple small frags in there now. Fish seem calm, already poking around the rockwork. Six line wrasse going in later once things settle more.

How's salinity holding steady with just biweekly changes on a 90? I'd think that'd drift more than I'd want to deal with

is the 307 keeping up on flow for 90g or do you run a powerhead alongside it?

Hows the six line getting along with the clowns? Mine got kinda bullish about anything new for the first week

Tank owner replied

So far so good honestly, six line hasn't gone after them at all. Mostly just does laps around the rock ignoring everyone. Might change once he settles in more but no drama yet.

Clownfish pair looks happy in there, did they ever host anything or just kind of ignore the rock?

Tank owner replied

Not yet, just hover around the same corner of the rock most days. Figured they'd pick a frag to host but so far they're just doing their own thing.

Did you order the ocellaris online or grab them local? Always nervous shipping saltwater fish

FFinn GrayQuestion

Clownfish pair looks settled in - are they hosting anything in there or just kind of doing their own thing near the rock?

Tank owner replied

Mostly doing their own thing near the rock so far, no hosting yet. They hang out in the same spot a lot though so maybe they'll pick something once the frags fill in more.

Ocellaris and six line together usually goes smooth. Fluval stratum as substrate on a saltwater build is different, any issues with it long term?
