    Tap water filter as good as reverse osmosis system?

    Hello, While looking at reverse osmosis systems I noticed that there are easy to use tap water filter listed under the same catagory. They say they do the same thing. Also if so do you have to get one from marine store or will any tap water filer do? Are they just as effective? Anyone ever used one?

    Tang Compatibility

    I think that tangs are always agressive towards each other. The best scenaro would be to have added them both at the same time but you can try and rearrange the rock or decor in the tank to offset the territory issues the original tang already has.

Also I would add the clownfish and tangs in pairs so they have a better chance at...

    Stocklist for 150 gallon FOWLR tank.

    Thanks Ted. I like the triggers but I have always heard that the nip on the fins of the lionfish and kill them. I also forgot about the Harlequin tusk but I do like them. I might have to get a smaller lion but I love the big ones. Thanks for your help.
