I added a black clown to my aquarium so far so good they do a lot of following each other and body wiggling also added a Yellow Watchman Goby and a Candy Striped pistol Shrimp he is cool.

Thanks Andy it is certainly an improvement over what i had but LEDs are certainly the way to go but gonna have to save up for those.

Well here is a update. Due to health issues that have ended my driving career i have had to downsize to a 28 gallon nano cube. i was able to keep my clowns, Mandarin, and a goby. Also my pulsing xenia and red cap monti. Goning to try to save up and get led upgrade for it and do more corals.

[marinelife]

Sorry to hear about your health issues. Do you have any pictures of the new tank?

Looks great! This answers my questions now about the corals you inquired about. I still would like to know the wattage output of your lighting.
