Hey Conogre can you PM me? I have something I would like to discuss with you about your tank! Thanks

I LOVE your set up. What kind of filtration do you have on that? Is that macro algae growing in your tank? Have any problems with any of the fish tearing it up? Thanks

Thanks so much for the help. The guy at my LFS said that mixing would be ok. But I am finding out the hard way that it isn't. At least not for me. I am not dosing with anything right now. So it has to be just the mixture of the two. Granted the tank is only 4 weeks running but I don't...

I might be in the wrong section for this but I don't know what to do. My live sand crushed coral mix which is only about 3 inches in some spots and 1/2 - 1 inch in others is hard. The tank has only been running for about a month and I do have a few eels in it but I was doing a water change and...

Thanks for the help. The dorsal fin was definately all the way down to the end of the eel. It did not have any teeth that I could see and I had a really good view. It was almost right up to the front of the tank, and when it opened its mouth it reminded me of seeing a small grouper that I had...

Thanks for replying Bo but I have seen a picture of Jumpfrogs, I think it was his anyway, and it was nothing like it as far as the coloring goes. So, that would have to be a neigh. Thanks anyway. Hope I get more response as I am really curious about this eel. The LFS said it wouldn't get...

I just have to ask. I was at a LFS tonight and they have what they list as a Green Conger Eel. It was really active and cool looking too. It wasn't as afraid of me as my other two eels seem to be, which are a zebra and a what I think is a unicolor snake eel. My only problem is I am not...

Not to be a bother to anyone, I know I have alot of questions but I am new at keeping large Saltwater tanks. I have more than enough lighting to grow alot of macro's in my tank but I am wondering if I tried to do this and put say maybe a clown trigger, undulated, or other aggressive trigger in...

I saw some of these at my LFS as was curious as to whether or not you would be able to put them in a 150 or larger tank with a few triggers and eels or would the crabs even this size still be "snack" food? I was thinking that maybe if they wouldn't be snack food that you could use these as...

What about using Extra large Hermit Crabs? I hav a LFS that has a few and I was curious about using them but didn't know if they would end up as lunch. Even if they didn't end up as lunch I would be worried that they would try and mess with my eels and I certainly don't want that. Any thoughts...

Thanks for the information. That is what I thought but this guy is sooooo insistant, it made me start to doubt what I was, I thought, pretty knowledgable about. I am going to tell him just that too. PROVE IT!! Then I might consider it. Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply's everyone. I have never had a setup this big before and used a sump. I didn't realize that I would lose this much in evaporation every day and was concerned that I should be doing something differant. Thanks for all the information. This site is wonderful about...

Hi. I just have to ask this question since the guy at my LFS is insistant on being right about it. I have a Jardini Arrowana and an Ashara Cat in a 55 gallon tank for right now. I plan to upgrade them to a 150 when they get bigger. They are each only about 5-6 inches right now. Now I know...

Can anyone tell me how much on an average that they notice evaporates out of the sump and over what period of time? I have a 30 gallon sump on a 200 gallon tank. I just purchased this tank about 3 weeks ago and have had it running for about 2 weeks. I haven't really been using the lights that...

Hey Leopardshark, can you tell me if you keep the Puffer and the Angel in the same tank? If not can you tell me your setups as far as who is in what size tank? I also have a question about your puffer. Did you buy it as the gold? Reason I am asking is my LFS has a Black spotted puffer about...
