it might make it easier for them, but when they get accustomed to you feeding them and the type of food (if it is differnt), they will be able to chase it down. A company called Hydor makes rotating reflecters that can fit on the ends of those power heads, it can vary water curent and prevent...

Personally I got to stick up for kent. I can get good deals on kent where I work, but beyond that, for the price I think they are the best. I can not speak to their buffer specifically, but their kalkwasser has always done the job for me, and I have a lot of delicates in my tank. Also I love...

Corals dont add bio-load. And if they do it is minimal. Also ammonia levels less then 0.1, in most average test kits could just be the margin of error. Some ammonia will always be present in any tank fresh or salt, its part of the nitrogen cycle. Depending on whats going on in the tank ammonia...

rightous bump indeed

3 yellow, they look sweeeeeeeet when they school.

I have seen a lot of people post about rules of so many inch's per gallon in the slatwater aquarium. Personally I don't think any such guideline is appropriate for saltwater tanks. I might have just missed the thread when I searched for it, but there does not seem to be a lot of info on how to...

The tank is gorgeous. Is it in a doorway? so did you set it up to be veiwed from both sides? cool idea.

Originally Posted by SaGxMAN So, from the responses I've had, it seems that the most important things for me will be size (tank is only 20g), water quality (that's a given), and other than that, they are fairly maintanance free. I have found they get better growth, and maybe it is just...

Some of those derasa's are gorgeous, we have had a few in that are zebra patterened, that are every bit as bold as a crocea. In a 20L though the amount of supplments (phyto or zooplankton) you will need to add to keep them thriving might pollute water quality. The smallest tank I have had...

I would still think it is much to large, you have temprature to consider then, it would have to be spot on, and try to match up PH, you could do this by using a ph buffered slat mix like reef crystals (coralife). In the end rapid small volume water changes can just as effective and much safer

We have a coral banded bamboo shark in with a lion at the store, you just gotta keep in mind the 10-12" of the lion and the minimum of 2' on the shark.

Thats not to overcrowded, just stay on top of the tank and make sure you have a bunch of LR and skimmer, the coral beuty and yellow tang are the only ones that will swim about the whole tank activly

Not all of them, if your avatar is your tank, it should be large enough to house a regal angel. They are delicate and in the begining can be fussy eaters, but if you get one going they are fairly hardy in the long term. But they will not harm a fly... or zoo
