My 200 gallon mixed reef tank

[NelsonCh]

When I introduce clowns, I will use the funnel drop method. They are said to instantly host what they are put in but it will be the first time Im testing it.

Yeah my goldbar maroon is extremely aggressive too.. I really need to find another red sea tank deal.

I have 3 pairs of clowns, my 2 for sure captive bred pairs have always been hosted by inanimate objects, like mag float, or this one heater that doesn’t work anymore, so I unplugged it and left it in. My onyx perc pair ( not sure if they are wild or captive, forgot to ask when purchasing) have always LOVED my corals. They would dive in and out of my Xenia and frogspawn alllllll daaaaaay loooooong

Yep, clowns are oddballs. My buddy bought a pair of onyx from the same breeder as I did years ago. They refuse to host anything and are free swimming even after being in his tank for ~4 years. The frogspawn that I have actually came from him and my pair of onyx dove into them within a month of being introduced into the tank and have been hosting in it ever since.

I also just bought a huge nem.... and my gold bar maroon instantly hosted. I hope it doesnt kill it.... looks super aggressive towards it.

Some tentacles fell off as I am writing this. What to do?

For starting my tank, I used red sea pro. Now I use instant ocean for weekly water changes.

That seems like a lot from a big and relatively empty tank.
I would suspect calcium precipitation. Get that Mg up.
Also, you might want to pop a powerhead or pump open, and see if there are noticeable deposits already.

False alarm, retested and it only dropped .5
