3 Months since "the crash"
 
.WELL LONG STORY SHORT... My tank crashed in January and it was horrible. i lost all my fish and a good deal of coral. Black Friday. I am at peace with it now and i just added my first ever anemone. i am running a nicely set 20 Gallon reef. 25 lbs Of live rock. live sand. green bubble tip. red frogspawn. kenya tree. green star polyps. assorted zoos and palys. pipe organ. green sinularia. azure damsel. Striped, jewel damsel. CUC.hot magnum.Aqua clear mini w/surfaceSkim and rio nano skim

Tomorrow i am going to find some clownfish. probably Tomato Clowns. get a small pair that hopefully will like the little bubble tip anemone And leave my frogspawn Alone. we will see.

Got pics? :D My silly True Perc couldn't give a darn about the 10" RBTA I put in the tank about 3 weeks ago...go figure.

I think you would be overstocking if you put two Tomatoes in there along with the two Damsels. Albeit, I always stock on the lighter side because it saves a lot of headache. ;)

Nah
 
Stocking should be ok. i over filter already and do regular maintenance and tests. the tank was almost three before the crash. i have not any updated pics but ill figure out how to post them in the next bit.

:lol: Famous last words. I wouldn't say you are over filtering either. I only have 3 fish in my 33g, and coincidentally I have never had any nitrate issues. :)

My tank crash was due to my having to move to a new home. my tank never has any detectable nitrate. nitrite . or ammonia. stocking is only a problem if you really pick fish that are not compatible or suitable for the tank. in my opinion. everyone has had different experiences.

New clowns
 
I am currently acclimatizing my Clowns. i could not find tomato clowns but i did find wild caught ocellaris Clowns. aquarium enthusiasts Had some. great looking fish. i picked the two most perfect and cant wait to get them in the tank. hope they like my bubble tip!
