    I can't read that page anymore. Hurts my eyes. LOL

    All I did was google fish osmoregulation and that was at the top.

    I can say this, a Marine Biologist from NOAA told me to keep my tank at 1.025~1.026 for the healthiest fish and corals. I figure if they manage to live in that SG gravity in the ocean for their entire lives, I don't need to give them an artificial environment.

    Anyway, Coldshot.. Your clowns will be fine.. Your corals also..
    When you first start with your clowns, try to get 2 young ones, One alittle bigger then the other.. if you can.. Try to keep them from getting stressed..
    And when they sleep at night.. LOL
    I hope no one minds if I put a Link here, I also put our link on other sites...

    Welcome - RareClownFish.com

    Don't think they are dieing... Mine sleep at the top of the tank, on there sides, most of the time..
    Try to go with .025 ..
    Mine go's up alittle, down alittle, As I replace water, etc..

    Good Luck Budd..

    After all the polar ice caps melt off, NSW will have a SG of 1.010 or whatever. That's gonna be bad!
