MY clowns did the same thing. In fact thats why my son gave them to me and he bought maroon clowns who host more aggressively. After I had them a few months..they began hosting like crazy. Like others they host the frogspawn and rocordia. I have two anenomies they ignore. I suggest give it...

I think temperature swings was a problem. I was told a drop at night was "natural" so I set my heater a little low, because my lights were heating things a bit and I was afraid to go above 80 degrees and I don't have a chiller. Heater is now at 77 degrees I have two fans on my hood one blows in...

It was an already established tank that had to be moved. If it were cycling wouldn't my amonia/nitrites/nitrates be high. It was a sudden dive. I had fish and live rock/corals that came with tank.

Help please from those with experience. I have always had freshwater tanks and am familiar with cycling new tanks. However, inherited a set up, made a move two and a half weeks ago. fish n reef. Has been going well. Water parametes good. No amonia, ph 8.2, nitrites neg, today salinity is...
