The fish are a spawning pair of Clownfish, Longnosed Hawkfish, and a Squirrel Fish. The Clownfish were born in the tank. Currently the tank is going through a change (June of 1996) in algae growth due to a change in lighting. We just changed from high a output ultraviolet light to a low output full spectrum light.
Filtration: Biological filter
Lighting: Low output full spectrum
Food Source: Formula one, Formula two
Water Changes: Not frequently because this tank is our experimental tank in which we watch the rise and fall of the bio-mass over time.
