His water is pretty clear. I think he's changing a gallon every week, maybe every two. I'll suggest a nano skimmer. I don't know much about his setup, but flow is supposedly strong.

If they're really that bad, maybe I could put a bicolor blenny instead. Would this stocking list be better? - 1 clownfish - 1 pajama cardinal - 1 bicolor blenny ... And on the subject of lights again, the tank has a 15 watt day lit spectrum LED. I can probably figure out how to put a second...

This isn't for me, it's my friend. He's kept freshwater fish for most of his life, but only started with saltwater recently, and is having trouble keeping things alive. Corals keep dying, and so do fish. He has two tanks, a 2.5 and a 5. He's had a clownfish and a cardinal and a couple corals...

So, is the dottyback a no go then? If it were added last, the other fish would have time to stake a territory.

"The firefish normally hang in the water column above the rocks, and the dottyback cruises around the middle of the rocks. That being said... an orchid dottyback is recommended for tanks 30 gallons or larger. Putting it in a 20 gallon tank with passive fish will most likely end badly." A lot of...

I was thinking maybe for stocking I could put - one clownfish - one orchid dottyback - one pajama cardinal - one firefish Would there be too much agression? Would the tank be overstocked? I'm willing to do a water change every week, if necessary, up to five gallons.

Would LEDs like this be okay? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009P63UPM/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?qid=1424310195&sr=8-9&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=24 led aquarium lights Sorry if I'm not allowed to post links from other sites.

It might be because the rock from the established tank already had a decent quantity if beneficial bacteria on it, so the tank cycled fast.

Also, to the best of my knowledge, camel shrimp are bad with reef tanks.

Your liverock should be fine then, and actually, I haven't set up my first tank either yet. But I have been doing tons of research and I know people with saltwater tanks. You can probably add a shrimp, skunk cleaners are a popular choice. Peppermint shrimp are a popular choice because they...

The liverock is your biological filtration. It's extremely beneficial to your tank. By removing it, you're essentially taking out most of the biological filtration, but it should be fine as long as you put it back before it dries out.

Okay, so, I scrapped the 10 gallon idea BECAUSE it looks like I'm going to be able to set up my old 20. Apparently it's a 20 high (I thought it was long). Dimensions are 24" X 13" X 15" I will probably be setting it up in 7-8 weeks. I've been doing a ton of research, and I want to make it...

I recently learned that I really like eels, and I might be able to get a 40 breeder tank - would that be sufficient room for a snowflake eel to be happy?

I don't mean to sound rude, or impatient, and I appologize if I do, but I do believe your convo has gotten sidetracked and I'm not sure if anyone read my last question.

What kinds of corals could I keep? Would I be restricted to soft corals, or would LPS and SPS be feasible in the future when I'm more experienced?

Would it he okay if I were to run anHOB filter for a 30 gallon tank? And what other equipment would I need? Powerheads, lights, anything else?

And is it best if all the fish and corals originate from the same area? Would it make the tank more natural or anything like that?

What filtration should I get?

Hi! I see that you were looking for a sand sifter for a ten gallon tank. Can I recommend the two spot goby? They only get a few inches long, and are suitable for a ten gallon tank. EDIT: unless you're not looking at a ten gallon anymore.

Tank looks great! What are you going to put in it?
