Tangs are awesome fish, but can be a bit more sensitive than other available species. You may want to review other possible fish that are more hardy. (Avoid damsels, as they can be quite mean.) Regarding ick, most fish are equally prone. The idea is not to allow it in your tank. I recommend you...

Mine love flake food, but they are scavengers by nature. You can soak some flake food in water to help it sink faster, reaching the shrimp at the bottom. :yes:

I am quite excited. I couldn't believe they are doing a second. They have just released the first one on DVD with a new beginning and ending. (The babe in the first was quite nice, too!)

Anybody looking for a cool fish could do well with a scooter blenny! I got mine about a week ago, and I am quite amazed at the character traits of this little guy. He comes right to the front of the tank whenever I come in the room. He is always on the go, poking around the rocks and sand. You...

You didn't have fun on the 4th? What happened?

I just wanted to take a moment to wish everybody the best. I find myself happy to be here in the USA. And while we ain't perfect, it is still quite a place. Best wishes to all.

Please do not put a clownfish in an uncycled tank. It is very uncomfortable for the fish to go through the cycle. Do a search on this forum. Keyword: cycle

And I would think one powerhead is enough for a 20g.

I have to jump in. Almost every comment posted is true. ***** is the "pet WalMart of America". It is both great and poor. And much of it depends on the specific store! Just today I saw the pre-mixed water at a *****, which is also too rich for my blood. But when it comes to tanks, salt, filters...

The folks over at the aggressive fish forum would be able to say better, but I do not think it genuinely is a good idea to start mixing triggers in a tank. They tend to be quite protective of their own turf.

By the sounds of it, you are off to a good start. Damsels do fine with flake, although I must ask, what type of damsels did you get? :notsure:

Fuji liverock is actual ocean rock. Florida rock is aquacultured. That means regular rocks are placed in the ocean, and left to become home to ocean creatures. I imagine there are strict laws in Florida/USA that prevent companies from removing actual reef rock. Florida aquacultured rock is...

I recently moved my desk so my tank sits beside me, as opposed to the previous situation, where it was behind me. Now I can observe my tank, while I surf on the computer. Something strange happened tonight. Once I turned out the tank lights, and started surfing, some strange, freaky object...

I have a hex tank, and it great if you are limited by space. But if your tank is leaking, you might want to consider just buying a new one at ***** or Walmart, as the prices are quite reasonable. This is a great hobby, but it is not for everyone. Barry is right to recommend reading-up on the...

I am curious as to why you would have to wait 3 months before you add more fish. Also, damsels are pretty, but can be mean. They have been known to chew on other fish. I recommend you start monitoring you water, and test your levels. You should consider not keeping the damsels. And you may want...
