I wanted to thank you guys for the input but today I came back from work to an upside down tang with white eyes....stiff as a board. I went to the store today and replaced the tang with a yellow wrasse and a yellow head sleeper gobi. I am hoping these 2 will last longer than the tang. How...

I have a 55 FOWLR that has been up for a little over a month and a half now. I have an Angel and a bunch of stuff for a clean up crew as well. Just about 2 days ago I thought my Naso Tang was dead so I put my net in there to take him out and he was resurrected, hahaha. I know I am supposed...

My hang off the back protein skimmer for my 55 is what I have a question about. I got this skimmer from a friend of a friend and I guess it is more of an accessory I have a question about. It is powered by a Rio 600 but there is a black box which goes over the exhaust and that Rio 600. It is...

I have a 55 as well and it has been up for about a month. How is that sail doing?? I was going to get one but decided to go with a singapore angel so I can keep my bioload open for a blue hippo tang. Looks like a very clean tank though. I attached a pic of my rock structure which I would...

Does anyone know if there is a difference between the vermaculated angel and the singapore angel?? I went to the lfs, finally thinking I could throw some lingo at this guy, and he shot me down saying it was a singapore angel and not a vermaculated angel. I am sure there has to be one newbee...

I use that B-Ionic calcium buffer and something else. Now that I am typing this I am realizing I should not just be going on one persons word and I should be asking more people like you. Can you recommend where to get some of those test kits as I am only bringing samples to my lfs. If you...

I got this set up form a friend of a friend. I am not sure how ling he has had it. The water is not overflowing or anything but there is....I don't know, I would say 1/4 of a cup every 2 days or so. Maybe this is normal?? It is a 55 FOWLR and the only things I am really putting in it is that...

Can anyone tell my why my back back protien skimmer is collecting a bunch of water in the container?? Do I maybe have it positioned wrong? Hopefully this makes sense to someone out there. Thanks

Make sure you dont put the rock right up on the glass. You want to make sure the fish can still swim behind there, for water circulation from your pumps, and also so you can clean the glass there as well!

What kind of tank are you going to have??? In my tank, I would put in a fish that would eat that stuff off for you. I am not too sure about taking out the rock and scrubbing it?? If you do that, it was probably a waste for you to buy live rock. Just my opinion.

Is it a bad thing if I am using that B-Ionic? Or just not necessary? This was a suggestion from the guy at my LFS, so please let me know. Thanks!

I have a 55 gallon FOWLR. I have a vermaculated angel, naso tang, 3 damsels (going to store later today top get bigger net so I can get rid of them), 2 skunk shrimp, 1 coral banded shrimp, 12 snails, 12 crabs, 40 lbs of live rock, and 3 feather dusters.......yeah, that is it. So I have had the...

So I am trying to take your advice and remove the Damsels. I just spent the last hour trying to get those fish out of my tank and I cant catch them with my 1 inch by 1 inch net, hahaha. Does anyone have any advice before I drop my fishing pole in there??? Thanks in advance, Jamie

I have a 55 gallon set up for FOWLR. 50lbs of LR, and 2 featherdusters. Assorted fish, crabs, shrimp, and snails. I have these 2 power compact light and dont know how long to keep my lights on for. I have them on a timer where they go on at 2PM and off at 10PM....is this good?? Too much...

I have actually just bought a Vermaculated Angel Fish a few days ago and it is a really nice addition to my 4 week old tank. I have only had him for 4 days or so and the only complaint I have is that he likes to hide in the rock work for the majority of his time. I am sure he is still getting...

Journeyman....thanks for the advice here....this is exactly what I am looking for. To make things worse, my Rio pumps are used form the guy I bought the tank from. What other brand would you recommend? Also I am hearing a lot about a quarantine tank but don't know anything about them. I...

Well I thank you guys for the replies so far and I can see that I am obviously going to regret this decision. Trust me if I had the room I would have gotten the 100 gallon in the first place....and my girl was not going to let that fly either. :mad: Any suggestions on any other nice looking...

Does anyone know if this will be a problem? I have a 55 gallon tank and the Naso is about 3 inches max right now. I saw a blue hippo at my LFS and simply fell in love with it. Other fish in my tank: Vermaculated Angel, 1 damsel, 2 dominoes, 15 snails, 15 crabs, 3 shrimp. The guy at my LFS...
