Thanks for all the help, the tank is in Georgia, so that is a bit of a drive. I'll keep you updated!

I only have a picture of the front of the tank with me. I will get some more pictures soon. The lights are nothing special but they are: 2- Aqualight T5 Series - Double Linear Strip SeaStorm 250 Protein Skimmer/with pump And as for fish... Sohal tang Blue tang Purple tang porcupine puffer...

I have had my 125 gallon aquarium for just over 2 years now, and everything has been going great. The take has 120 lbs of live sand, and has some live coral. I just got the news though, that I am going to have to move, and I will not be able to take the aquarium with me. I was wondering if...

You said that you have tank covered with a net, and you have a problem with fish jumping out? Why don't you just buy a cover?

Print out a picture of a tang, and tape it against the tank. That should work for a little bit. But that many tangs in one tank, is pretty difficult to do anyway.

Im sorry, I guess I am a little confused. Are you just adding the yellow tang in your tank and he is already aggressive? Or is he being aggressive to new members of your tank?

I have heard that you aren't suppose to leave any food in your tank for longer than a couple of hours. I put about a quarter of a piece in my tank and it is probably gone within a minute or less. A hungry fish is a happy fish.

Take the rocks out and throw some food in there to distract him.

Hey I was thinking of what kind of protein skimmer and filter to get. My125 I have a wet dry sump, but I dont think I should get that for my nano. I was looking at his protein skimmer and filter. https://www.saltwaterfish.com/ I was looking at the deluxe. Any ideas, or suggestions? How does that...

Your tanks look amazing. What size tank is the other one? Originally Posted by Stanlalee the basic parameters you'll want to monitor with a reef tank are calcium and alkalinity (I do dKH testing myself. simpler) and nitrate and phophates for indicators of excess nutrients. Down the road you can...

I have had my 125 gallon tank for almost a year and a half now. It only has fish in the tank with pieces of fake coral. I think it is time for me to step it up and start a small reef tank. I know little to nothing about coral, I just know stuff about a fish only tank. What other parameters...

I have a friend who has a 10 gallon Brackish water tank with a spotted green puffer. He told me that he wanted to make it a salt water tank. He wanted to put a small goby in it. I really didn't know how much to change the salinity in his tank. How slow should he add more salt? How much salt...
