Now with no excuse due to unlimited information and help through google and the forums, my tank started very slowly to resemble a reef. I went to local meetings where the local club gave me more suitable corals for my reef. I learned to work my way up to the challenging corals and fish.

I decided clowns were part of the hobby and I should have a nice pair, w/ a nem to host. After some time looking at different clowns as there are many to choose from, and doing a lot of reading on different nems, I decided on a pair of onyx pers and a BTA. I added another pair of T-5's and excepted an offered up GBTA to host my future clowns. Still have the BTA, which I love, though not very green is always healthy it seems and has never gone walking around my tank.

W/ my new nem happy in the tank I kept an ear out for my clowns, and soon enough the ones I had pictured came a long. I found a pair of captive bred onyx that had laid perfect fry and waited for the offspring to be old enough to ship.

I am happy to report that these 2 as intended laid their first clutch a couple months ago and are currently awaiting their breeding tank to be finished.
