clownfish dont like air in the tank its something to do with the (micro bubbles) try taking the air pumps out and just use power filters,cant remember where i read this but if you put it in to google im sure youll find the info |

hello whats your s.g reading how long do you take to acclimatise |

as wayne said marine do not like to much air bubbles in the tank , it gives them the bends ( in yours and mine language) no marine fish or soft or hard coral does. |

have taken out air stone only put in today sg reading is 1.022 and clown fish were acclimatised for 40 minutes |
