Sorry StevenK, I hope you don't mind a little more advice, but you are asking for trouble with 13 fish in that 75G. Your tank has only been up for 3 months...even if it cycled in 2 weeks, that means that in approximately 10 weeks you have added 13 fish. You might want to get other opinions...

What adding a Blue Lobster? I have had owned one in the past, and did not have any problems with it being aggressive. Especially if it is the only thing in the tank, you will get very little left over food (whether flake or direct feeding), and they add little to a bio-load. They are very...

I have read conflicting reports about the Bi-Color damaging corals. Has anyone out there had experiences with Bi-Colors in a small reef tank?

Well, my 29G is cycled and ready to go (after a series of sporadic battles with very zealous hair algae). Should I add coral first, starting with an easy softie, or go with a fish? The only things in now are snails and hermits... I would like to get some input as to what add first. I only...

If you don't want to read anything regarding the protesting (both for and against) the war, stop right here. I pulled this from another board. Don't ask me why, but I can't stop reading these statements of "free speech." This is the link... http://news.messages.yahoo.com/bbs?a...8445&mid=11890

Depending on your lighting... I would build a nice looking reef. You can stack LR almost straight up and down in a 37G, giving it a nice reef ledge appearance. This is also good for keeping different types of coral separated for light intensity (MH is best) or cohabitation. Just a thought.

I don't know what color it is, but it's a Staghorn Acropora. Can someone help with some advice?

I am going to a friend's place tonight to attempt an acro fragging. The only problem is...neither one of us has ever done it before! Any advice or suggestions on the best way to leave his coral in good condition, while grabbing a nice frag for my tank too? TIA

Sandman, where in Tampa did you find Southdown sand?

I haven't really thought about it that much. I think they are all very cool, but each of them have their draws. I think it will come down to two factors: 1. Size - I want one that will stay relatively small for now, or at least grow slowly. I don't plan on setting up a big tank for a little...

I know that certain types of anenomes like to move around, and some like to settle on certain surfaces, but is there any limit to the size of the tank they need? My 29G is a long way from being ready for one, but it is something I did not have before, and would like to put in the mini-reef...

It's looking good! I love that color pattern... Keep us updated, I am sure there are more than a few people (myself definitely included), that are nervous about buying clams.

I had the same thing happen with CBS... I would come home from work, only to see him stuffing his face with a hermit crab he whacked. I remember someone saying, "In this hobby, it is not only you that decides what stays in the tank." It's true.

You are cooler than a bunch of Fonzies...:cool:
