I was clown fish when clown fish wasn’t cool. (Pre Nemo)

I’ve got a 240L tank with 2 x T5 lights (can’t remember the wattage off the top of my head). A Koralia 3 and a tunze nanostream w/ wave timer thingie for flow and finally, a TMC V2 skimmer and external filter w/ lots of floss, rowaphos and carbon for mechanical and chemical filtration and 30 kg live rock for bio.

It houses a Cardinal, a Coral Beauty, a Percula Clownfish, a Sixline Wrasse, a Midas Blenny, 5 Green Chromis and a small Firefish. Also a bunch of assorted hermits, 2 cleaner shrimps and a bunch of turbo snails. I did have a couple of Emerald Crabs as well, but I haven’t seen them in ages, so not sure if they’re still around.

For corals, I’ve got some ever expanding Green Star Polps, an even faster growing Devils Finger coral, and a few different types of Zooanthids.

I’ve had it running for about a year now. Most of the photos are nearly that old too. I really need to get some more recent ones now everything’s grown and there’s more in there.

@uberbatman, have you had any difficulty getting your mandarin to eat? I hear they can be a bit picky.

@damien nah, i waited until i had a TON of copepods in my tank before i bought him. I’m also lucky enough to have one that will eat cyclopezes.
