Hello,

My name is Eddie and I live in Miami. I haven't had a tank in over a decade, and this is my first saltwater. I got an 10 gallon all-in-one for free with two yellowtail damsels. The cyano infestation was incredible! It was a sea of red everywhere. The previous owner, was topping off with tap water, and never did water changes. I now have two clowns instead that I got from a chain pet store. A caramel clown and a stubby clown. I've never heard of them, but they look cool. I plan on adding some blue mushrooms, and sometime in the far future maybe a bubble tip anemone. Any advice would be appreciated. Some pics.

To Reef Central start doing regular water changes using ro/di water and make sure you have good flow and the cayno should go away. i do think a 10g is to small for two clowns long term. min tank size for clowns is link 30g

I agree, she is a keeper. The cyano is pretty much under control. I have been doing large water changes, upwards of 50%, every week or two. I am planning on upgrading to at least a 28 gallon biocube in the future.
