My clown fish is being drip acclimated as we speak for my 10 gallon nano.
I also picked up 2 patches of zoos which are temp. acclimating right now as well....

This weekend I will have my GF get her camera or I will bring mine back.
Yes I got the replacement bulb. Kind of a long story but I thought it was broken again but I read online that "one side of the bulb will appear to be unlit because of the difference in range of the light".
So I think now my original one wasn't even broken but w/e.
I will send one of the bulbs back and still get my refund.

I gotta get some kind of fan working because my temp goes from whatever I have it set at to 82 degrees when the light is on.
The built in fan works but it is so damned loud me nor my roomate care to hear it.

They are just regular maroon brownish ones. I got one batch that the my buddy gave me but I guess they are native to the atlantic ocean so we are unsure how they are going to do.
I am actually waiting for more frags like some mushrooms and stuff until the end of the month because my aquarium club gives free frags to newbies and or I can buy them for like $5 a pop vs. $20. I got a little more research to do on corals so it's good that I will have to wait.
I didn't get any inverts yet as I only have coralline algae growth so it would be kind of worthless.
I decided to get the one clown which I did today and whenever they get a firefish in I am going to pick one of those it. That's it as far as fish...just 2.
I think I am going to get a cleaner shrimp too rather than the coral banded.

Zackish,

If you rig up a computer fan to a variable voltage power adapter, you can turn the voltage down until the fan is quieter. All 12 volts of power usually isn't needed to keep the tank cool anyway.

Let me know if you need a better explanation.

Enjoy the clowns!!!!

probably. clowns and tangs need time to get used to the tank. when i moved my clown to the 55g, he stayed still for a few days, now he zooms allover. when i first got my yellow tang (3 days ago i think?), he stayed in the left corner of the tank, and finally will cruise around and eat algae as of today
