Hey friends -

I have a Display Tank (120g), a Sump (100g), and a Nano Tank (22g) - all of them share the same water.

While the Display Tank always seems to be doing pretty well, the Nano Tank always seems to struggle despite them sharing the same water. Because of this, I'm considering making the Nano a straight-up Frag Tank.

Problem: I have a pair of clowns in my Display Tank (mated, constantly laying eggs) and a pair of clowns (seem to be mated) in the Nano. Am I correct in assuming that if I put the Nano-Clowns into the Display with my current clowns there will be problems?

I'm also considering sticking them in the Sump, but I hate to do that because then they'll rarely get attention. I'm also considering just keeping them in the Frag Tank, but worried that'd be stressful if all they have is maybe a rock or two and a bunch of frags. Would love to hear thoughts!
