    squid or octopus

    Octopus are not reef safe and are easier then you may think to keep. They need at least a moderate size tank of at least 25 gallons (If they get to big you will need much bigger.) From the one I care for I can tell you that they are not picky eaters. The first two weeks I had mine I fed her...

    What's all the hype about R/O Water

    Using R/O water or distilled water is fine, as long as you add supplemental conditioners to replace the trace elements that were removed. If your looking for an inexpensive way to get purified water, you can always purchase a Tap Water Filter (Creative name huh?) it's by Aquarium Pharms. It...

    Nahh. I wouldn't even try to keep them in the same tank, it's a losing battle.

    I agree, it is possible however, you just need to make absolutely sure that the seahorse is receiving daily food. By the way, seahorses not only need to eat well, but they also must be fed very nutricious food to make sure it says healthy. It's gonna take more than just brine shrimp to keep them...

    pics of my 55 gal tank

    Yea unless your waiting for a disaster, even if this person was a Red Sox fan I'd still encourage to do something very diffrent with that tank. (By the way it's a beautiful tank, I wish I had an in-wall aquarium, you've just gotta change your livestock)

    What next???

    Yea sea urchins get pretty big so I'd say just one, you could get away with 2 but, I'd still just say one. There great for algae control, I have a long spined urchin and he mostly comes out at night since they're nocturnal. Feather dusters should be fine just monitor the tang, make sure it...

    Banded watchmean goby a monster?

    The banded watchman gobys max size is about 6 inches, so it wont get any bigger then what you've got. They are omnivores and accept a broad range of foods. It will rarely become aggressive with fish but may become territorial, they will also fight with it's own unless they are a mated pair. I...

    Betta??

    First of all, this is a saltwater forum so you usually won't get much help here. However I do happen to know a lot about freshwater bettas. They definitely do not require a tank 50 gallons, putting a single betta in a tank that large would be, a waste and if I don't say so myself, a very boring...

    Live stock orders from saltwaterfish.com

    Yea they ship it the same way as LFS get their livestock, I just got an order in a week or two ago. They package everything in a Styrofoam cooler double bagged. Everything I got came alive except for my anemone crab, which was the cheapest thing I ordered so I wasn't too upset . The only thing I...

    pics of my 55 gal tank

    Even a 125 may be too small for the shark egg. Even that black edge eel you got there is pushin' it, everywhere I've looked online (I did some special research just for you) says that they need at least 125 gallons of water, you don't even have half that! The only eels you could have in a tank...
