Ok thanks for the advice. Is the reason because the two will fight in that size tank or because a 75 gallon tank is too small for two tangs? is there anyone out there that has two tangs in a 75 gallon tank? and if so what have been your results?

Hello all, I have a juvenile yellow mimic tang I just recently added to my tank. Other inhabitants are 1 firefish, 1 blue damsel, and 1 false percula clownfish. My tank is 75 gallons. I was wondering if it would be safe to add a blue hippo tang my girlfriend bought for her 45 gallon tank. "It...

your nitrates seem a little high. your algae is probably feeding off a combination of high nitrates and most likely high phosphates in your water. try using phosban and/or feeding your fish less. also after about 8 months im sure your power compacts are beginning to shift it the spectrum output...

SUBSCRIBED and will be following along! this is one of the coolest projects ive seen here on SWF. I Think adding a refugium to this tank is an necessity. you are not planning on using any other kind of filtration other than large water changes with ocean water? i believe that is what i got out...

thats a nice looking worm you got there. crazy cuz i just pulled one that was 22 inches long out of my tank as well two nights ago. i caught him while his head was literally in the belly of a green chromis feeding and i grabbed him with a pair of tongs with minimal rock removal. it was pretty...

ah thank you. i looked up pictures on google and that is the closet looking blastumossa i have seen to what i have. i still havent seen any pictures that show the type of growth mine has, everything else looks like a round spherical growing coral like a brain coral or something that doesnt have...

well i posted a pic or two a few weeks to a month ago of this coral that i have no idea what it is. i got many responses saying it was a blastomussa of some sort however it does not look the same. this coral seems to have a calcareous skeleton with a blastomussa looking top that is about as...

ok so i have a dilemma. i currently have a 100 gallon tank with the following fish: 1 large tomato clown (pretty peaceful) 1 royal dottyback (kind of territorial) 1 zebra damsel (peaceful) 1 electric blue damsel (a little terror!) had: 1 mandarin that was doing fine til one day i saw the blue...

no problem, wish you well!

no problem. what size is your tank? one thing i would recommend doing is removing one layer of carbon if you tank isnt too large and adding either a medical stone (i swear by this stuff--i had a fish that was badly wounded by my powder brown and i put this stuff in along with marine max and i...

your pH will fluctuate during the lights on period vs your lights off period. the pH will increase during the day due to photosynthesis of organisms and micro organisms in your tank. then it lowers during the night because photosynthesis is not occurring, thus causing the pH to lower. what kind...

Mr. Clownfish, you have one beautiful pair of clowns there.. i hope you dont mind but i downloaded the image and saved it to show my girlfriend because i would love to get a pair of clownfish that beautiful! Meowzer, sorry to hear about your poor DOA fish. Goodthing SWF has a guarantee on fish...

Well there are three main ways of introducing calcium to your tank: adding live rock which already has some coralline algae growing on it, adding scrapings of coralline algae from another tank or possibly your LFS if they would be kind enough, or purchasing a commercial coralline algae starter...

Jstdv8, i love your powder blue tang..they are one of my favorite fish. sadly my powder brown which was a year and a half old died a few weeks ago to an unknown cause. i think i am going to make the best of this situation and replace him with a powder blue.

i dont know if i would go with the black cap jawfish. although they are very beautiful fish, they would outgrow a 10 gallon tank rather quickly (unless you plan on having one of your larger tanks set up by the time it gets too big). they grow to a size of 3-5 inches and the minimum recommended...

btw that is one gorgeous fish. i love how they keep their upper and lower fins extended and they swim around the tank. it just makes them look so beautiful showing off those brilliant yellows and baby blues. absolutely stunning fish and one of my favorites. be very careful with them though...

i was told to feed my PBT "Angel Formula", it comes in frozen cubes and he absolutely loves it. mine is a very picky eater and will only eat this frozen food which is full of what they feast on in the wild (marine sponges, algae, and other marine foods). its supposed to "enhance breeding color...
