    My Future 46 Gallon Stocklist

    So far I've gotten the purple FF, a followed by a 6-line, and then 2 clowns. B&W and O&W ocelllaris. My cleaner was killed and I fear it may have been the 6-line. I also didn't realize all the stories of aggression from 6-lines. I think I will be removing him. My new possible stocklist...

    An Introduction

    hows your skimmer working. When I had mine in my display tank it wouldn't work well. It was a pain to get it to function consistently, if it ever did. Once I added it to my sump where the water level doesn't fluctuate, the skimmer works much better. I also don't have to look at it hanging on...

    My Future 46 Gallon Stocklist

    Yea black and white. They are usually about double the price though depending on size and they are pretty common around me in Jersey. From my understanding they are exactly the same, only the colors are different. I don't think it's any different to have 2 O&W's or 1 of each. Actually, most...

    sand snifting shells (snails) useful or pointless?

    well that's good. I've never had a mandarin and I love the way they look but never bought one because from everything I've read, they say they need an established tank w/ an endless supply of pods. I'm assuming yours has been "trained" to eat processed food. Now that I think of it, I think wild...

    Why is Adding Multiple Fish at the Same Time Always Discouraged?

    I was wondering why it's always advised to add fish one at a time. I understand that the tank needs some time to allow more beneficial bacteria to grow to accommodate the increase in ammonia, blah blah blah, but why can't we add 2/3 fish? People are always adding pairs of clowns, or schools of...
