Get rid of the damsel because there more trouble then there worth and get some chromis perhaps, they are active and swim all day. Could try percula clowns. There arn't many active fish you can put in a 50 gal because most active fish need a bigger tank for that reason.

Doing sand sifting starfish destroy live sand. What I mean is do they eat all the organisms in the sand?

Clown fish are active fish and are pretty hardy. they arent aggressive like damsels and have great personalities. chromis are also a possibility since they arent aggressive and constantly swim along the top of the tank. :)

How about a Brown Sailfin and hippo in a 150gal tank.

Yeah not reccomended but I once kept a bicolor and coral beauty in a 55 so any thing is possible.

Currently I have no live sand, just normal (type unknown)in my tank. I am now getting a new tank and wanted to seed the existing sand into Live Sand.

150 gal glass, brand is not known but have just found a leak

so would 150 gal tank be big enough with 200 lb lr? do you know what they feed on?

i was wondering how big your tank would be to keep one and how difficult it is to keep one. they are the coolest looking fish.

I have realised that I have got hundreds of Apitasia on the live rock I bought recently (online)and I read that these r great for cleaning them up, just wondering what experiance people have had with this type of fish, also the Copperband Butterfly, do these do a good job for cleaning up the...

Is it true that Copperband Butterflies eat apitasia (Glass Anenomoe)?

Good luck in the future these little fish can be a real handle if other fish are added, what set up are u having.

I would really like a large angel in the future in particular a Blue Faced Angel, I know they are hard, was wondering what type of success people have had. And what are good ones to start off with.

Yeah I use tap water and no major problems for me so far.

thanks, i think ill get a striped goby, apparantly they are pretty good at sifting the sand. They are a local species here in western australia.

Any thoughts? or ideas?

algae keeps growing on my sand. i have 25 small janitor hermit crabs and 5 sand sifting stars but nothing stops the green algae keeps growing. Is there anything that will stop it growing or stir the sand?

yeah thanks for the advice, even though they are expensive in Aus. I will get the cleaner shrimp.
