Some Nice Japanese tanks....

Japanese tanks have their problems....but I like the fact that a lot of them do not have uniform lighting over the whole tank. I think a tank that is not lit up from end to end adds a certain depth an elegance to a tank, which a tank that just simply has the brightest lights over the greatest areas do no begin to achieve.

I am very diligent about scraping the coraline off everything except my rocks. With a clean black (or bluish) acrylic background, it gives a stronger impression of depth.

One guy's got at least 3 bandit angels in there. Talk about reefing from the poor house!

Is this seriously doable with the adult clownfish and babies? If yes, I'm seriously going to go out and buy 20 baby clownfish and stick them in with my breeding pair.

Long term, no. There is a person on reefcentral that tried it and succeeded for a few years, but now they have started to kill each other off. I talked with a different person on there as well that tried it with the same outcome. Considering clowns can live 25 years, a few years isn't really that successfull.
