Thanks Beth, but now I'm worried about what kind of fish I can ever add to my tank. I had a stunning flame angel for about a month over the summer; eating well, looking great, then one day just dead like my damsels now. My tang, clown, shrimp, and crabs have been great - so it can't be...

BACKGROUND: I have a 75 gal FOWLR with hermit crabs, emerald crabs, a cleaner shrimp, a Yellow Tang and a sebea clown. It has 90lbs of LR, a LS bed, a prizm protien skimmer and a couple of Rio powerheads. I add garlic extract and zoe vitamins. LEVELS as of today: pH: 8.1, SG: 1.026, Temp: 86...

Hey guys, got some more liverock for the 75(my total is 95 lbs now!)and it's got lots of nice corraline. I got the cleanup crew too (emeralds and scarlet reefs) and I'm thoughly enjoying them. My next order will be cleaner shrimp (I will also introduce my clownfish) and additives for coraline...

I asked a similar question under the post dwarf angels, and it appears that it is a hit or miss situation, depending on the individuals. I think it's worth a try though, as I do believe the lemon peel is a diff genus from the dwarf. In my 75 I'm going to attempt a bi-color and a flame and...

Been ok, having to devote more time to my new tank than the internet though. Can't wait to get my cleanup crew in. Tango, my faithful yellow tang, is still fat and heathly in my little 30 gallon with my clown and damsel. I will have had him in there for four years this summer, and he's never...

Thanks, anyone know about the two dwarfs? I saw someone's webpage once for a 75 and they had a flame and a bicolor together. Anyone else had it work?

Hi y'all I haven't been here in forever but I haven't forgotten all the help you've given me! I have a 75 gallon set-up with 75 lbs of live rock and a bed of nature's ocean live sand, a prizm skimmer, some rio 600 powerheads, and a daylight/actinic smart lamp PC (160 watts). I just ordered my...

Clownman, you are only partially right. As you can see, I've been with this board for well over a year and have graduated to the level just below shark, and this has only to do with posts as do all the other levels. But when adiministrators look for someone qualified to be a "shark", they not...

PLEEEEEEASE!!!!!!? :rolleyes:

also, should I get the detritivores and sifters? If so, what should i get for a 2-3" nature's ocean sandbed? Is there stuff already in there? or should I try and not diturb the bed at all?

First off thanks for all the help guys - just as I thought I was an expert on fish-only I go and start the reef thing! :rolleyes: Yes, I cyled it with just the live rock and live sand. How soon will the bloom go away? Won't the 'trates hurt the little shrimps and crabs if I get them now...

One MORE question! Should I have my two rio 600 powrhead on high at all times? I don't know - are you supposed to have circuation like that or is that disturbing to the enviornment - it looks kinda strong to me. Also, where are you supposed to place them? I have then right at the surface on...

Hey guys! tons of q's here! I have a newly set-up 75 gallon with 80 lbs of nature's ocean live sand. Since this is of course NOT a dsb, should I leave the sand alone and not touch it, or should I buy sifters and detritivores? It make just under a 3" layer. I have had my prizm skimmer, rio...

You can definatly have more than one tang in a 125! I would not put anymore than three in though. The key is to get two tangs that are not in the same genus, meaning they do not have the same first part of the scientific name. A good way to tell, is most tangs from diff. genuses have a diff...

Woa! :eek: I thought you weren't supposed to have more than one dwarf angel in a tank less than 100 gallons as they would fight! Do you think I could have a flame angel AND a coral beauty in my 75? :) ;)
