Hey Jiddy, yeah I know where Blaine is, haven't been there, but I know it's whereabouts.

The clown thing is something I've been thinking alot about, and have been reading about even more. I've read that in some cases it can work, but sometimes it fails horribly. So in that case, I've decided to go back and rework my fish lists..again. But what I did this time around instead of saying which fish that I will get, I made a list of all of the possiblities that I think would work well.

For Example:
2x True Percula Clowns (Amphiprion percula)
or
2x Pink Skunk Clowns (Amphiprion perideraion)
or
2x Black Percula Clowns (Amphiprion ocellaris var.)
or
1x True Percula Clownfish and 1x Black Percula Clownfish

Something along those lines, I've made lists like that for the anthias that I'm thinking about aswell as Tangs/Surgeonfish, Angelfish and then just a list of "others". I don't really want a large group of clowns anymore, I've decided to have a grouping of 4 to 5 anthias. I know you all are thinking right now, that's a lot of fish in a 75, but I've planned for several ways of filtration, and nutrient export, but also keep in mind, there will most likely be another tank in the picture somewhere along the line.

But what I may do after this 75 project is set up, is start setting up a tank for the type of clownfish that I don't put in my 75. Ultimately I think it would be grand if I could have mated pairs of several types of clowns in different tanks, to raise the fry,sell online, or be the supplier to the LFS I work at.

If you all can wait a couple of days I'll actually have something for you to look at. ie. livesand, liverock, lcd heater, and salt mixing fun! Don't worry, there will be a plethera of pictures coming.
