So today I went to get a clown fish again. I walked into the LFS and the only clowns they had were really young ones. I asked about the price and they said they were only 18 dollars which was half the full grown price. I bought two because I wanted them to be a pair and not fight if I added one later. As soon as they hit the water, there couldn't stop exploring together. They virtually stay together all the time. They of course came from the same tank at the LSF, so maybe they were buds already.
Anyways, the yellow tailed blue damsel investigated and defends his little hole in the live rock, but other than that he stays on his side of the tank. I noticed after 1 day, one of the clowns looks little fades but he's still acting ok. The other is a bright orange. I'll keep an eye on him.
I got my refugium and the skimmer i build up and running again. My algae ball is still small, but I have 24/7 lighting on it to help it grow in the refugium.
My wife just called saying the water in the return section of the tank is nearly out!:ugh: I drew a marker on the tank to show the minimum water level before shutting off the pump and it's there. The other line I drew was a max line to prevent overflow int he event of a power outage. In between these two lines is about 3/4 of a gallon. I hope it is not leaking as it was full when I left for work this morning, about 7 hours ago. She says she can't see any leakage, but I'll have to investigate later.:frustrat:
