    Tang compatibility

    Maybe instead of cutting off the barb on your tangs you could put a little peice of cork on the sharp part like they do for tarded people when they try to use a fork.......lol

    Vodka dosing

    I have to say I think adding vodka is insane. Deosnt matter if it lowers nitrates or not, what else is it doing and if vodka is to only be used by an experienced reefer I'd have to question why is an experienced reefer having long term nitrate trouble?

    How Long For A Tang In A Bag

    Was wondering when some you get your fish from fed-x how long after that do start to drip for acclimation, ofcourse the sooner the better, but I'm in a situation where it may be several hours after I get my fish from fed-x that I will be home. If the fish were sent yesterday how much time do I have?

    Tangs Tangs Tangs

    In my experience its kind of a crap shoot when adding one type of tang a peice, somtimes they get along somtimes they dont. In the past Ive started with three yellows then added a different type of tang after that. The yellows seem to hassle fish that have a similar body shape as well as the...

    Tangs Tangs Tangs

    Was wondering if anyone out there was keeping multiple tangs in their reef such as yellows, purples and blues together. I'm getting ready to restock my 250g after a massive power outage and lost all my fish and about 2/3 of my corals
