You can even try a leaf of roman lettuce, this sometimes works very well when tangs are finicky when they first arrive in their new home. Althought the algea sheets are much better for them.

A friend of mine did it 2 different ways: These are just cheap ways of setting up a chiller not the best way just cheap ones. 1) He dug a 4 foot deep hole in the ground outside put a 5 gal. bucket (sealed) in it and covered it up. He pumped water into it and the pressure pushed the water back...

Possibly, Koles are pretty hardy tangs and can usually take a lil stress. I would just keep your hands out of the tank for a bit and just watch him. He should calm down hopefully if he doesn't then I would think about switching out the power head for a lower flow one.

It might be too much current for him to handle in the tank? Just a thought What size tank is it you may want to try a smaller less powerful powerhead.

Yup I sure have but I think its just cause my yellow tang is a pig and may be over stuffing himself. I still feed lettuce just not near as much as I used to. IMO the sheets are just better for them.

Spectrum is an amazing food it is all my fish will eat. I use the small sinking pellet and its a frenzy at feeding time. I used to feed romaine lettuce all the time and I still recommend if you have a problem getting a fish to eat but the seaweed sheets are a much better food. In my experience...

You could also try Spectrum it is an amazing food. (It is a pellet type food but from my own research I found it to be one of the best.) I could not get my blonde naso to eat anything till I tried it and now he won't eat anything but the spectrum w/ some sheets of algea as well. My whole tank...

Darth I understand what you are saying and I have 20 years experience in the hobby as well but, I never state anything as a fact because what has worked for me may not work for others. Thank you for pointing out Bob Fenner contribution to the hobby. (That was all I was asking for) I did check...

Tizzo I checked out you books website very impressive but it is basically a group of enthusiasts opinions. You should have stated that when you posted it. Look I find nothing wrong with poeple stating opinions, I just want people to state that it is thier opinion and not come across as factual...

Finally someone who can show me documentation and not just someones opinion. Thanks Tizzo I just hope you based it on scientific fact and data obtained from research and not just an opinion you personally formed. And BTW Oceana if you read my post it says nothing of whether it is a good idea or...

Long nose butterflies are reef pickers by nature they just pick at the rocks and such. If you want to try and jump start its eating then you may want to try live brine shrimp or even live tubiflex worms (neither is a very nutricious food but it may get the fish eating and then you can move on...

Socal I live in Broward Co. and I will be in the middle of the storm in a few hours its not really that bad of one I have been through worse. Oh and Broward county is north of Miami-Dade county and about 2 hours south of Orlando. Broward Co. best known city Fort Lauderdale

You guys need to try out Dark and Light, it comes out in April the prelude game comes out in November and is free when you preoder DnL. I tooK look at WOW and wasn't all the impressed looked too cartoonish for me. I did play DAOC for 3 years though.

Coral Beauty's are in the dwarf angel family and should do fine in your 55 gal. They are pickers and will just pick at your rocks all day eating. A kole tang as was said would be a good choice with the 4 fish you listed.

How do you have the wet/dry system set up are you using bio balls or live rockor are you just using it as a sump ? The reason I ask is because if you are using bio balls or even to a smaller degree live rock, you tank might be mini cycling which can cause the fish to breathe heavy.

LMAO They are both HOTTTT

I live in south fla where land and home prices are out of control, I purchased 40 acres of land in north fla for $65,000 2 years ago, I got a great deal because even those lots are going for triple that price now. Tangman99 is correct it all depends on the LOCATION, my advise buy some land (way...
