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??

[Chase31]

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

According to my mother it's subsided on its own only one way to tell once I get home from work tho I guess will update on friday

That brass fitting is pure trouble! Any corrosive, metal fitting will 1) corrode, putting brass into the water. 2) alter ph, metals will mess with it. It's y an apple goes brown wen u cut with a stainless knife, it alters the ph of the apple.
Return the skimmer. Don't pm, don't leave a MSG on canreef. Hop in ur car, drive there today, the same way u went to pick it up. It's common sense to return wit is borrowed! A quick shake of the head is needed!
Hope u solve ur tank prob.

I'd love to drive over and drop it off but I don't remember where he lives, I could take it to the neighbourhood and knock on a bunch of doors but I'd prefer if he would answer one of my pm's I could deliver it
