Hi, So I Added A few corals, and a pair of Ocellaris Clown fish. The female is Huge, I have never seen A clown fish this big. She is 3.5 Inches long.
They are a little bit up do it to a Maroon Clown in the same tank. I hope they recover.

Nice tank! So what is your planned feeding regimen? That would be the deal breaker for me. Where I live, we have fairly easy access to sun corals. Friends that are divers scrape them off the oil rigs out in the Gulf. Just hard to keep them up long term.

@renato120 isn't Sun corals only open-up when the light is off? which most people would have the light off during sleep time; which means, that people that own Sun corals will need to be awake midnight to dawn/morning.

Will this cause an issue for you? or do you have other things planned out?

Not really! You can make them open up during the day. This tank only has lights in the midlle where my anemone is... left, and right sides are dark. They stay open all day.

Aaaah really .. thanks for letting me know. I suppose it requires training for them to open up when Lighting is ON; I'll do some google-ing. Thanks @renato120 !

No problem! Im still learning as well! But training them to be open for a longer period it is possible.
