    Brown spot on yellow tang

    I have had my yellow tang for about a week now and have noticed a brownish spot on only one side ( the right side ) of him. It seems to have grown a touch. I wish I could send a pic, but not digital cam at this time. He also seems a little less yellow/more whitish in color. Plus has a light...

    Cycling Damsels! MUST READ

    People fly off the hook at newbies like myself for cycling with damsels, some of you admit it you did it too. Wow, some of you say to cycle with dead shrimp, or LR. Well people, what about them, they WERE alive once as well. So you are saying that ONLY fish count and you should just cycle...

    *****

    I purchased all my fish from ***** so far because the lfs is to damn high. There are 2 lfs besides *****, but both want way too much money. I have though about ordering online, but the shipping is a killer. The tanks at my ***** seem fine, and the lady there is very knowledable. I have seen...

    Bio Wheel filter

    I have a emperor 280 and my friend has the emperor 400. They are both great. He has used his for a couple years now. No problems at all, plus very reasonably priced online.

    Test kits? Which are good/best?

    I'm wanting a test kit of my own now so I don't have to keep going to the LFS for testing. Which one(s) should I look at? Which are better and do a good job? Are they all the same? Also, how much approximately would it cost me? Thanks.

    Who likes angelfish

    They are very beautiful fish. I have heard that they are harder to take care of and butterflies as well. My LFS told me this. I would like to get one. What would anyone recommend? They have a awesome bicolor.

    Need cleaning suggestions

    The tank has been up for a month now and I am getting brown "algae", i assume, everywhere. I heard that this is due to food/overlighting or something. Can I buy some inverts or something to take care of this?

    Cycling Damsels! MUST READ

    WOW! There are always people to take things too-far. I was just simply stating that my damn damsel is mean as hell. RELAX! By the way, my yellow tang is fine, they both steer clear of each other. The two dominos still get chased by the yellow tail though. So I don't think i'll be...

    My damsel will kill your damsel

    I plan on taking my 3 damsels back when my tank does fully cycle. It's only been up for about 4 weeks now. I had another yellow tail in there and also a 4 stripe, but the *MEAN* yellow tail killed them both. The two domino's seem fast enough to get the heck away when they need to. They seem...

    FOWLR vs. REEF ? What's the difference?

    Well, i know i'm new/stupid to all of this, BUT i guess i was under the impression that corals grow off of live rock. I guess not huh. So everything that grows off of live rock is different then corals? Weird, once again...i'm confused more. Thanks for the reply though. James

    MAGNUM 350 PRO SYSTEM

    Anyone ever used one of these? Pros/Cons? I am thinking of purchasing one to replace/append my current power filter (emperor 280). Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    FOWLR vs. REEF ? What's the difference?

    I can understand fish only, but what is the difference between a fowlr and a reef. They both have live rock and fish don't they? Thanks.

    My damsel will kill your damsel

    I think I have the meanest yellow tail damsel in the world. He's very smart, and super angry at everything in the tank. Maybe a payperview event of damsels is in order here.

    Trading tanks at LFS?

    I was tossing around the idea of trading in my 65 at my LFS for a 125. The question is what kind of value if I did this, do you think I would excpect if I originally bought the 65 there? Full value, half, ????? I'm not sure if I want to do this, just thinking right now. Thanks, James
