Few more updated pic. Copperband and flame angel were added about a week ago. All is getting along well so far. Bangaiis have had a mouthful of eggs for 3 weeks now... you'll see in the pics anyway.

Thank you
These clowns are still young, the oranges are just over a year old. So no breeding for a while, there parents which we lost in a velvit outbreak, were spawning in a communtiy tank though

awesome setup and simply amazing, love your selection of fish and inverts and the overall scape
minimal deadspots and bare bottom really does keep your nitrate's/phosphates in check
how long have you hade the copperband for?
Thanks! Yep it's starting to, aswell as the refugium and deep sand beds in the sump. Will get a good pic or vid of thewhole sytem some time. Had the copperband for 4 1/2 weeks now I think. He's eating real well and is racing the foxface in the frag tank for food. Going to add hime with a different tang hopefullya powder blue sometime into the display tank to minimalise agression

Finally got round to get some okay phone pics. After exams will try take some better pics. Tank is finally starting to mature, Have been going pretty slow on the stock but we are finally starting to add a few more things to it, almost at the limit now though
Copperband in frag tank is starting to eat very well, both my mix and frozen mysid. Almost ready for the display tank.

Knowing you are pretty experienced that you have already googled for suggestions I can't offer much in the way of links to read.
Do the patches move around or do they disappear and re-appear in the same places.
Parasites/being stung?
Disagreement with something during the dark hours causing bruising?
Was found out to be an agressive bacterial infection, they were disppearing and moving etc

Hi guys,
Recently (3 weeks ago) i brought 3 fish back from Auckland, 7cm still juvi orange shoulder tang, 6cm melnurus wrasse and a yellow head sandsifter. Everything was fine and eating until about saturday when the wrasse randomly dropped dead, i have uploaded a pic of the half dead wrasse (now dead) to try ID why it died. I then noticed brown markings on the tang and he began to start acting weird, like twitching and a little bit of itching, am now worried. The brown markings are where the gut is on a both sides and also around different parts of the body, they are disappearing and appearing though. But the tang isn't acting fine still. He's still eating, both nori and frozen mussel etc. Thinking about fresh waterdip. Any idea on what it could be? Thanks!

That's one cool starfish.
-
Must be just a conincidence. You should aways buy a smaller clown when adding it to a single one, because that can cause agression
-
You can replace clowns singly no problem. I did it and 4 months later thery bred. Some i the tank must be upsetting them (more agressive clown, water paremters) do you have the tank covered?
-
whoops, coldwater saltwater.... tropical saltwater...
-
And chiller is depended on whether it is cold water seahorses or tropical seahorses youmre wanting to keep.
-
Looking real good now, will upload a vid tomorrow
-
Well, watch around in the next few months;) about 40% of the picassos are normal striped perculas
-
We were selling our normal ocellaris for $35 each (I'm Nathanjayc) Have none left now. I have c-grade true perc picassos coming up soon though (c-grade is normal barred with picasso in their genes)
-
Skip the per shops and go to J.A Russel. They'll order it in for much cheaper and bigger bits
-
Looking great.
Kinda looks like a fan worm to me
-
Wonderworld usually has a-grade clowns like the babys we're growing are $140.
I have never seen tank bred picassos for sale in the country, but there will he some available soon;)
-
yea what are your black and white clowns worth?
Not sure yet
-
There's some on tm I think atm
Sent you a pm samuel

Anemones split themselfs, i have 4 tiny orange ones in my frag tank that split themselfs.
Problem with anemones is they can grow real big real fast, mine in the disply is 35cm + and still growing. And they move to where there is best conditions for them, in a nano i would just do a torch coral or leather to host the clowns in
All corals can get along with clowns, except maybe the fish eatinh ones, but thats uncommon lol. Yep i had these picassos in with the blacks a couple of days ago with no problems, split them up because they were going into the main system. What part of Tauranga do you live?
