I got the tank a month ago. The tank had been setup for over a year. I bought it from a friend of mine. Since I've bought it, I've add 30 lbs of LR at different intervals. I got it with about 30. There wasn't much of a coralline growing when he handed it over to me. But there was a good...

I just tested the water in my tank for pH, CA and KH. pH - 8.1 ca - 470 kh - 7.7 Are these levels good to get my coralline to grow? I feel likes it's not really growing at all. Do I need to add anything or will water changes help me along. I do 15 gallons once a month on my 45. The next...

Originally posted by Buzz Caution...you think the raw shrimp is gassing you out while submerged? Wait until you expose it to air. Hold your breath. Trust me, it is a vile, nauseating thing...:eek: Is it worse than smelling a dead body??

I bought the tank from my friend who's had it for well over a year now.

I wanted to know how often should I be testing my water levels? I change 15 Gallons of water once a month and check it the next day to make sure everything is in sync. I'm going to be getting a calcium and alk test kit in the next week to begin testing those levels to get my coarlline to grow...

My Yellow Tang is getting along fine with my cleaner and CBS. The one I was worried about was the spotted hawk but they're getting along fine. Can't say that for my Bangaii Cardinal. He didn't even last a week in the tank.

My CBS hasn't found my featherduster yet. He's just sitting in one corner and not moving. He use to move all over the place.

Looks as if my hawk is getting adjusted to his new company. He doesn't bother the cardinal anymore and the cleaner is still in hiding but he's seen him a few times and hasn't bothered him.

My hawk doesn't bother the crabs or anything else in there. Just my new additions for now. I just asked my friend I got the tank from. He said he's had a cleaner and a few of the same cardinals with the hawk and he was fine with all of them. Maybe he just doesn't like these guys.

My shrimp made it through the night. I feel really bad that he can't go bumpin around the tank right now. The hawk has seen him a few times but hasn't gone after him. He likes to chase after the cardinal when he's near it and they make eye contact. Plus the cardinal knows it's time to...

He doesn't mess with the coral banded shrimp that's in there. This sucks if I have to get rid of both of them. So what fish would my spotted get along with besides clowns?

For some odd reason my spotted hawk doesn't like my scarlet cleaner shrimp or the new bangaii cardinal I put in the tank today. As soon as I added the cleaner shrimp, he was chasing him around the whole tank until the cleaner finally found a hiding spot next to my overflow. I've been watching...

Let me first start off by letting everyone know what I have. I ended up buying my friend's 45 Gallon tank. I figured it would be easier to get an environment that is already setup than to start off from scratch but I know I'm also missing out on the experience of the whole process. Plus I...
