    I'll be going to the LFS tonight hopefully to test the water. Tomorrow I'll be ordering both bulbs.

    Alrighty just got back from the LFS...

    Ammonia: 0
    Nitrite: 1
    Trate: didn't test for it.

    I saw the test results myself. I'll be testing with my test kit tonight to compare.

    Also, we decided that we are going to pay a little bit more to get a mated pair of clowns.

    Having a bit of an issue... Everytime I replace my filter floss, my water gets really cloudy. How can I stop this?

    That's pretty normal. Happens to me a lot. Just turn your pumps off if it gets bad.

    Why go for a maited pair of clowns? The female will be around 2.5" already, and you might have deal with aggression problems when adding more fish.

    +1 IMO might as well save your money plus you will have a cute little one,
    my clown is over 3 inches and hes the most aggressive fish in my tank with 2 tangs and a pink skunk clown
    I honestly couldn`t see two clowns in my tank and its over 4ft long

    So mated pairs are more aggressive than just putting two together?

    I think a good plan would be to get a pair(should I spend extra money on a mated pair?)
    And them immediately add the goby 3 weeks later do that there's no chance of territory wars.
