What a great job of overhauling the tank to a new system. Looks very sharp! Just FYI, anemones are the host in the relationship, I have some palythoas, soft polyp corals, that host my Maroon Clowns.

Yet again I learn something new. Who says you don't learn something new every day. The clown I have left in the tank is still not showing interest in the anemone, but it has only been a few days since the other was removed.

It took my clowns several months before they started living in one of the RBTA's. Want to hear something funny?... ok... after reading about an interesting way that a few people encouraged their clowns into an anemone, I tried it. I made a makeshift ocellaris clown out of an orange bottle top (using black markers) and attached it to a rock near the RBTA.... within a week or two they were in the anemone. It very well could have been a coincidence...

Glad to hear all is going along smoothly! Alot of the members seem to like the BB and find it easier to siphon out what collects in the corners.

Post pics when you get it all done.

Starboard just arrived today. I really don't want to pull everything back out just yet, maybe in a couple of weeks. Looks like I better get myself an Orange Crush for the bottle cap, it's worth a shot.

Well I thought I would wait a couple of weeks before I pulled out the rock and put the starboard down. Got home from work, took one look at the board and started pulling out the rock. There is still a bit of dusty fine sand floating around on the bottom but it will be out in due time. Well, added a sump, upgraded the skimmer and now bare bottom. Next will be a better circulation system. All this after I thought I knew what I was doing. Wouldn't have gotten as far as I am (long way to go yet) without everybody here asking questions in all the forums and giving good answers. I enjoy reading all the threads. Thanks for the informative reading.

looking good.

out of curiosity what do you feed the sun polyps?
mine are under MH and do pretty well, have strong current to keep algae growth down
