Fritz's 24G Nano, and the incredible escaping clown


Hi there,

I wanted to share my 24g nano with the group, along with asking a few questions. I had a 30 gallon rectangle tank prior to this, it had a 250W HQI (for sale), and 2 64W PC's on it, with a full sump/bioballs/skimmer (for sale, loud as all #*@#$).. the tankstand and hood had to be too large for the tank size, and i didnt want to go up size wise.. I saw a Nano, got one, then built a stand for it, and moved everything over (using the same sand) never been happier.. so far


MainTank and stand:






24G Nanocube - No mods so far. The tank lid isnt sitting tight in the pics as i havent cut out room for the makeup water line, and the temp and ph probe wires.

In the tank currently:
2 clowns (that wont have anything to do with the anemone, and constantly jump into the back container area (more on that later)
2 matched Coral Banded Shrimp
1 yellow goby
1 Diamond goby (sorry, dont know the technical names)
1 sally light foot (who is gonna get yanked if he messes with my new sea hare)
1 sea hare (recently added after the last died/ got picked on)
1 emerald crab
1 sea cucumber
1, and now after a recently split, 2, rose tip anemones (just woke up to that guy split in two a few days ago.. was a nice treat! .. and as if i had room for 2..)

Snails: prolly 15 nassarius, many other types. red legged hermits

coral:
Frogspawn
Torch Coral (with big bubbles, ?? )
few hard coral(Digi?), yellow (milli?) one is looking like its on the way out (anyone care to identify these, i'm terrible at the moment..)
Xenia (started as a small plug, and has just been growing and splitting like mad)
"fuzzy mushrooms" (again, splitting like crazy at the moment. started as 2 bigger ones)

think thats it.

So a few questions:
1.) Escape Fish: My clown fish keep jumping over the back wall and ending up in the back filter area. So far, its happened 4 times. Anyone have any ideas of material or a trick to block that back area from the tank.? Or, is my water level too high or something that is causing this??


2.) Big bubble on the Torch Coral: Is this a natural thing?


3.) Anybody messed around with the wiring, to seperate the LEDs from the mainlighting, or to seperate the fans from teh main power supply? I want my fishputer to control things, and right now its kinda silly how its wired by default.

Welcome to TRT! Tank looks great! I can't help ya with the wiring sorry. I would say put eggcrate over the back but then the little guys my get stuck up there and roast. My clowns never jump so don't really know what to say there either.
