    Tell me what you think of my stocklist...

    I don't know if you have considered them... but Green Chromis are pretty cool fish. They aren't as vibrant of a green as Clown Gobies, but they are great additions to most peaceful/reef type setups. When the light hits them in just the right way they shine with a very nice green hue. Another...

    What to put in my refugium?

    I've never used Miracle Mud, but I have heard exactly what the name insinuates... works like a "Miracle". But other than that, if it were me, I'd do live rock in rubble form and larger pieces as well as caulerpa or macro-algae of some sort because even though the stuff grows like a weed and...

    Tell me what you think of my stocklist...

    I think that all of those fish would do well in the size tank and with the tankmates you have picked out. The only concern I would have would be with the Flame Hawkfish. These guys usually eat ornamental shrimp and small fish-clown gobies included. Other than that seems like a good list. If...

    How common is the green closed brain?

    3"-4" Seems a little much (this is my opinion) to me. Even with awesome coloration and a decent size I don't think I would pay more than $35-$45 for it. Although, I would have to see it to be sure exactly. Even though I would only pay this much for something as common as a brain coral... it...

    Blue Hippo Tang Min. Tank size?

    I have a Blue Hippo Tang in a 125 gallon aquarium. I first purchased the fish 4 years ago and he was about 1" in size (maybe less), after much feeding and space to swim around he's now a nice 8-10". Formula One herbivore pellets and Seaweed Selects algae strips pretty much make up his diet...

    Saltwater to freshwater tank.

    Yes, you can use a sump for a freshwater aquarium just like you would a saltwater aquarium. Although it's not seen as much doesnt mean it isn't useful or viable. Although a sump's extra water volume is a nice contribution you still need some type of filtration for the aquarium itself, having a...

    New lionfish not eating

    I've heard of Lionfish not eating for up to a week or a little longer after being added to a new aquarium. You might want to try something to entice them to eat. What are you attempting to feed now? Feeder ghost shrimp are a good way to get them started eating in your tank. After it starts...

    I need suggestions on stocking :)

    Depending on whether you are going with a reef or a fish-only tank you could add a dwarf angelfish, maybe a few chromis, or some type of goby or jawfish? It really depends on what fish you like, just stay with small to medium sized fish.

    Stock list for 75G

    Lots of stuff you can choose from... I'd go with a a couple of peaceful clownfish (Pink Skunk/Percula) or one aggressive type (Maroon/Clarkii), dwarf angelfish, a goby or two, and maybe a small school of chromis? There are lots of choices, just add slowly and make sure you add peaceful fish...

    early christmas woooo

    Wow, that does sound like an early Christmas, wish I had enough room for all those tanks! One thing I would think about pertaining to the 60 gallon and 75 gallon plans: Since the 60 gallon is a corner tank you might have problems with lighting options unless you did some kind of hanging...

    what type of tang

    I definately agree with deejeff442. Although a 33 gallon aquarium may actually be long enough (IMO) since it's the same length as a 55g/75g - it's still only a 33 gallon. I think you would be better off keeping away from any tangs since stress from lack of swimming room is probably one of the...

    How does my stock list sound now??

    I agree with scottallert. All the fish you have plus all the ones that you want to add is kind of pushing the limits a bit. Maybe add one wrasse (either the Fairy or Six-line) and the tang perhaps. Also think about compatibility, if you add the Fairy Wrasse along with the Six-line Wrasse you...
