    +1 what I learnt was CUC before any kind of fish after a fresh cycle, not only will they, well, clean your tank and clean up your fish mess in the futur, but they are also cheap test units(more or less) to see if your system is safe.

    Is there anyway to know if I have too much flow? I don't want to stress the clowns out with too much current.

    Clowns LOVE flow! Mine set right in front of my 750 and wriggle like they do, I would say you are fine with what you have.

    Cool, I'll keep it. There was no powerhead in the tank at the lfs that they were in so thy might just need a little time to get used to it.

    Hey quick question. Do I need a lunar light for my reef tank? I have everything except that because I haven't figured out yet if I need one. And if I do, how much do they cost??

    Definitely not nesesary. If you do decide to get one only use it when your watching the tank, don't run it all night.
