i thought lions ate there food whole (or try to). i was told they will eat anything half there size (real size of there mouths). but you said the clown was bigger than the lion! somthing is not adding up right here . i would thin more likely the clown was going to try and bully the qute little...

so my uncle has a Juvi voliton lionfish that he has discovered recently ate his tomato clown (which is large compared to the lion) and strangely he says his lionfish looks darker then usual and his waste looks red he acts normal but since we are both worried i decided to post this and see what...

Hmm, so everything went well? My 20 is a FOWLR so I'm not dealing with stuff like coral. All I really got is a pair of clowns and some inverts. Aside from my LR that's all I'm moving over. And like you said.. I was going to wait a couple weeks to let the water quality get right of course and...

the headline says all basically. but could really use some help. the general plan was to put everything from my 20 to the 72 and make the 20 a QT. all i really need to buy is more sand and more live rock over time to accommodate the bigger tank. but im wondering if i put everything from my 20 to...

really? everything has to be at zero? my nitrate is at 20. will that be a problem? also do ALL anemones need strong lighting?

please do. ill be happy to hear from you

title says it all oops, scratch out one 'should i'

hmm, well do you think i could have any success with two dwarf angels in a 72gal?

Originally Posted by hallzy No when I ORIGINALLY got the tank about 3 years ago i kept my uncles water. When I got the algea bloom and all my fish died i completly started over. I emptied it, cleaned it, bought all new live sand (40 lbs) used the same LR (also about 40 lbs if I had to guess)...

Originally Posted by hallzy So 20 really isn't that bad then? I guess I was just always under the impression that they needed to be at 0! And Im so glad to hear I'm not the only one on this site that uses tap water! lol Can I ask what the exact de-chlorinater you use? And should I be using...

oh, and if your uncle had it setup with water and everything im sure theres no need for a cycle. it should be pretty mature. what are your reading? do you have lr? you'll know when its done when ammonia is at 0 as well as nitrite. generally after the cycle the only thing up will be nitrates.

Originally Posted by hallzy lol, yeah i know better than to get a tomato clown, ive heard horror stories about those guys! My new tank has been set up for about a month and it just finished cycling as far as I know. Im not exactly sure how to tell. When I first got the tank I bought it off my...

hmm, what kind of fish are interested in? if your looking for color and personality id go with 2 clowns. they can be a lot of fun to watch, and are quite hardy. hmm, maybe even a green chromis.

hmm, maybe it is okay to have two angels. but that's only the case with 180+ gallon tanks. and even then its not exactly recommended. but it doesn't seem appropriate in the tiny 72gal of mine >_<

yeah, i feel you on that one. but i'm upgrading to a 72g. and i'm absolutely in love with the flame angel.

that you cant have two angel fish in the same tank. .. i mean their all so pretty, its hard to choose JUST ONE. do you agree? hmm, whats YOUR favorite angel fish?

hmm, good point. but i hear its best to have nothing in the QT (sand, LR etc.) is that true?

well i have had a 20gal set up for over 2 months now. and i have decided to turn my 72gal that is rotting away into a FOWLR(which i didnt have the money to set up at the time). i was wondering if it would be wise to take everything from my 20gal and put it in the 72 gal while adding some more...
