    I'm not really sure. I had it on my 36, and it did not produce much at all, but then again it was way oversized for the tank(its the urchin Pro). It hasn't produced much on the 90 yet either, but i only have 1 fish in the tank and haven't finished cycling. Either way i will probably be replacing it once i get my tax return :D

    From what I see if its not a pro its going to be under sized for your tank. But I would use it for now while your bio load is low or until your tank fully cycles. That's my opinion.

    It is a pro, but i will be replacing it anyways.. well, i finally got 0 ammonia and nitrite plus my clown and starfish are showing signs of stress in the 36 gallon. It is 2/3 full and running without its sump, fuge, skimmer, and most of the LR. I am moving them over tonight and will probably do a small water change tomorrow.

    Looking good! I have the same skimmer on my 30gal, And don't like it at all! I am also putting a 90gal together and wouldn't even think about using it on it but, I'm sure you'll be ok for a little while!

    Well, It's been way too cold here to finish and stain my canopy, even in the garage. So i made the shell of the canopy so i could get some light on the tank. I will be adding a clean up crew from reefcleaners this week :)
    The tank is pretty blue, and i think i just need to rearrange my bulbs. My bulbs are in this order: ati blue plus, ati actinic, ati aquablue, ati blue plus, geissman aquablue, ati blue plus. I think i will switch the actinic with an aquablue. the actinic towards the front gives the whole tank a weird hue.
    The third pic is the bubble tip brittle star leg that has been living without its body for 18 days now. its super creepy. I was unsure if my clowns had paired up when they were in the 36 gallon, but it seems pretty obvious in the new tank that they have. They are almost always together.

    Does anyone have any experience with a BW/reg occ clown pair spawning? I am not expecting it, but given the perfect environment would it even be possible?

    pretty sure i've heard stories of it happening, but i was told the offspring are an unattactive mix of both colors. like everything else i'd imagine oppinons would vary greatly tho, and if you get to see them as tiny baby fish it would probably be hard to not like them haha.
