Hello
Hi tank reefers:
I'm new in the hobby. Making mistakes and trying to learn from them. I have my RS 34 g running for 4 months with CUC, hawkfish, a few zoas and a hammer coral. The water parameters are good and corals doing great. I have a quarantine tank with a pair of ocelaris clownfish. The problem I have now my hawkfish is very aggressive. I like his personality but I want to add in another week the clownfish. Why I should do? I will appreciate any input. Thanks

Welcome to ORCA !!!
Have they ever been together ?
What kind of hawkfish is that one ? and how big is it ? if the clowns are small enough it will eat it.
You should add the new clowns at night when the lights are off.
If it is too mean, you can put pictures of even bigger and meaner fishes attached to the glass and that will help, at least it helped with my tangs when I introduced a small scopas tang.

Welcome, I have heard of folks making a picture of the aggressive fish or several and sticking them to the outside of the tank will keep them at bay long enough to let new additions settle in.
you will probably be ok with clowns though.. there pretty tuff. Definitely do it at night lights off and after you have fed the hawk fish for the day night when everyone is pretty much when everyone is hiding and chill.
I have one of these set up as a lps tank and can tell you what i have done to it to make it work good for me if i see you at a meeting or something.. or you can pm me and i can try n go over my mods that way.

Hello - I am also new to the site and looking to join in the near future. I also am interested in the meeting and such. New and old to the hobby. Had a tank way in the past when things were not so advanced. :-P:-P:-P. I'm already looking at a new tank, too addictive. Does anyone know where the best place to sell my barley used LifeReef Sump/refugium / canister set-up?
Thanks
