    Just got back to salt lake from Ohio.. My female clown died and my male clown and other clown goby were in the overflow.. :/ not too horrible since it could have been a lot worse... Im kinda bummed about the clown though they were a mated pair :( My macro looks bad.. its turning white ish.. the skimmer was off and not really skimming.. Im hoping my starfish is alive but I don't have high hopes. I put some carbon and GFO in and am running the skimmer wet. Water change tomorrow...

    Sorry to hear about your clown, Starfish. Atleast your tank is still alright and didn't crash. I guess it's off to the LFS for another clown?

    Yea its a bummer.... I don't know what happened. I don't even know how long the other two were in the over flow.. can't have been more that two days though my neighbor called yesterday saying she didn't see them the day before or that day.. she took care of the tank. I just had her put water in it and feed them I divided up the food... I think everything should be okay

    Found the female on the floor. Im betting she was in the over flow and jumped out. how should I introduce a new clown.. I want a mated pair. the small female is left. should I get a smaller sized clown?
