So everything is going great, starting to develop some red slime alge (had this problem in my 30g it's not noticeable at all yet but hoping it will give my rocks some sort of colour for now at least! Had a clown die but I think this is due to a swim bladder infection he had when I got him, but everyone else is doing great, so going to give it some time to see what happens with my slime

so starting to develop cyano i believe, like a red slime, is this due to my low bacteria base? should i wait for this to subside or try to do something about it?

You could try to increase the flow in the areas where you've got red slime. If it is on rocks sometimes you can blast it with at Turkey baster for a few days and it goes away. If none of the above works you can try using Chemiclean. Obtain from your local fish store and follow the directions. It works great.

So been away from my tank a week now and have another 5 days to go. First time extended period away but I was told all my fish are eating and everyone in the tank looks good. I guess my female clown is bullying one of my chromis not sure but that's what I'm told ATO is working good and their all eating!

Was told today that my clowns have been bullying one of my chromis and not it's no ware to be found would my clown kill a chromis??

I had two chromis and two clowns along with a royalgramma my mom feeds the tank while I'm working. My royalgramma is still shy and doesn't go to the top during feeding but he still gets some and comes out, my chromis never ever miss a feeding. Now my mom called me the other day to say my female clown was chasing around the chromis till he hid in his little corner (his house). Now today my mom says she hasn't seen him all day or night and even when feeding he normally hides in between the rock wall and the glass. It's not like him to hide in the rocks or stray far from his buddy chromis. Would my clown have killed him? I feel like clowns couldn't be this territorial in a 55 g tank but her experience says otherwise. What do you guys think
