Questions - Need some input

I have questions that need answers.

  1. Clown eggs!

    I have had my perc and ocellaris clowns together for about 3 years now and they've nearly always stayed around each other but never acted like a mated pair. Well, I just looked between the two rose anemones that they live in and there is a clutch of eggs stuck to a rock. Would it be worth it to get my extra 10 gal tank out, add the little filter and throw the rock in there? I know the dietary requirements are tough for the fry but I think I can keep up with their needs with my awesome local club ...
  2. Very sad. LM Blenny on his way out.

    Have you ever watched one of your fish slowly waste away and there was nothing you could do about it? That's happening to our lawnmower blenny, who is our system's oldest fish. He is one of only two fish, along with a clown, who has been there through all three tanks over the past 4 or 5 years. He's always been extremely active, constantly eating, and very outgoing. His belly has been full sized his whole life. Last week I looked in the tank and he's suddenly skin and bones, like his stomach ...
  3. Should I treat my hippo tang?

    I have a small (3 in. or so) hippo tang that I've had since around Thanksgiving who has been very active and healthy, but he seems to get small outbreaks of ich that go away by themselves. Last week he was pretty bad, and in the time I got the stuff together for a treatment tank he got better. Last night he had several spots on his head, including one pretty big one, and on a couple fins. Today I can't find a single spot. Should I treat him for it or is that something that will just come and ...
  4. Copepod question

    I have tons of copepods in my refugium, it's to the point that there are little clouds of them swarming all over the place. It's pretty amazing, I can just stare at them and all of the other stuff in there as much as the display tank. I just don't see them in the display. I'm trying to figure out if they are numerous enough to add a mandarin. The tank was upgraded from a 2 year old 55 to the current 120 last summer, and the only other place I've seen copepods as dense as mine is at Inland Aquatics. ...

  5. How would you do flow in my tank?

    I've mentioned before that I don't think the flow in my tank is good enough. It's a 120, and it has 2 koralia evo 1050s and a maxijet with the propeller mod. I don't count my return since it's not very strong. I'm going to have some funds available from selling at a frag swap next month, hopefully $200-300. If it were your tank, what would you do? Obviously scrapping them for Vortechs isn't feasible. Would you start over, add more pumps, put in a closed loop, or something else? I could easily ...
