			 Am I reading this wrong?  You added the clown to START the cycle..you hadn't cycled the tank?  There's a problem if you are using the clown to cycle the tank...could you make this a bit more clear??

			 I have cycled the tank with live rock for 3 weeks and checked nitrite and nitrate levels throughout before I added the one maroon clown.

			 One should always make sure they're eating and what before you spend the dollars...ya there eating, don't take the store's word...have them feed them. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	I had one fish [ Regal Angel ] at Hidden Reef for a week until it ate, now he's a great eater even the odd pellet. " It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere " RJ  |

	he didn't look too good in the store - we should have spent the extra time to hang around and watch him some more... i thought he was dead a few times today - but he keeps coming back to life... he's still not eating so it doesn't look good... :-(  |
