Marvin can you give us an update about your tank and your "routine"?

What lights, skimmer etc.

What do you feed and how often?

What do you dose and how often?

What's your current water change regimen?


What do you contribute your EXTREME success to?

here's the other pics that only had 5 bulbs on (4 Blue+ & 1 Fiji Purple). in the middle of me taking pics, the 2 BlueSp turned off. LoL


BIG MAMA







BIG MAMA & BIG BOY, cuddling before lights out in their favorite spot. they're also cleaning in this area for the past few days





with ARROW, the ever so supporting young male that's been with this group for a while









Bubbly BTA's! I dunno why mine are more bubbly than some. even my big ones (8"+) are bubbly, esp when more blue lights are on.

Thank you.

I've had the tank set up since 09 I think but the conversion to clownfish/anemone tank was done last Nov. So one year of being a dedicated clownfish/anemone tank.

these trio of clowns were brought home on 09-14-2012, so it's almost 4 months since then. the White eyed Platinum has gotten the biggest (about 1.25"). the (2) Top shelf Picasso's are around 1" and have developed their black pretty good. All 3 are close to 9 months old.

this Top shelf Picasso was added on 04-28-2012. I don't have a pic of him but I do have a vid with his brother (Fu Man Chu) when I brought them home. I'd say this one has developed some nice black as well. he is approximately 13 months old and approx 1.5".

lastly... these ones have been with me since 1st or 2nd week of Dec 2011, they are approximately 17 months old. 1st one is SPARTAN, a top 3 on my favorite Picasso's. he doesn't get to hang out in the BTA's but can pretty much roam around the whole tank as long as he doesn't get too close to the BTA's. he's approximately 1.5". 2nd one is FRECKLES, another on the top 3 favorite Picasso. he has a dot on the other side so I named him Freckles. he hangs out and guard the right BTA island with a few of his brothers. he's approx 2". 3rd is TIGER, he hangs out on the right BTA island with Freckles, along with a few other Picasso's. he's approximately 1.75". 4th and last one is SYMM, he is one of the two candidates to mate with Big Mama (3 yrs old ORA Premium). he's slightly smaller than the other dominant male. there's a group of 4 Picasso's that guard the left BTA island. he's approximately 2.25". hope you enjoyed the update. any comments or questions, post away.
