    Clean Up Crew Question?

    Additionally, the conch is too big for that tank size (or will be) so you should nix that one also.

    Clean Up Crew Question?

    That is definitely way too much - particularly the sand sifting stars - that size tank will have difficulty supporting one, five would certainly starve. Other than that I have to agree with the other posts in that you need to start out slower unless this is an established tank that is simply...

    Couple of Trigger questions.

    It is recommended minimum tank size be 100ga with plenty of hiding spaces and room to swim - with two of these... at full size they will be a bit crowded and the blennies may become food at some point. Therefore I would not advise this move.

    ?'s for a new setup

    In the beginning - yes - until your cycle is complete. If the ammonia spikes too high it will kill off the bacteria and you'll have to start over.

    Dead Hippopotumus(sp?) my tank

    I think the first thing you should do is take a sample of your water to your LFS and have them verify your test results - I suspect your test kit If your parameters really are that insane then you need to do some radical water changes and will probably need to introduce new bacteria and begin a...

    here i go !!! One or 2 last questions

    You are correct You will need to monitor the ammonia, nitrites as the die off on the new rock will have to cure. If the ammonia hits .25 do a water change. Make sure you have very good flow and turnover - that will help the curing process also.

    Question about bio balls

    I agree - in addition - if the bioballs are your primary source of bio fitration then when you clean you should only clean 25% at any one time so as not to remove too much of your bacterial colony.

    fish list

    you're ok with the clown, chromis, cardinals, and ONE goby - the rest of those are too big for that tank.

    Restocking after disaster!

    As a rule - if a lion can fit it into his mouth its' lunch If the clowns are not very small then you shouldn't have a problem with a dwarf lion. I used to have one with a maroon clown and damsels in the tank - no problems. Just don't let him go hungry.

    Just a Coralline Question

    Agree - the purple seems to be the dominate coraline - it usually tends to beat out the other colors

    SWF.com orders

    To my knowledge they do not - however, if the clowns you have are small there is a chance that they would mate up anyway and the female will just outgrow the male. The size difference does not need to be that big in order for them to become mates.

    Just a Coralline Question

    Coraline comes in a variety of colors - I've even had some in pink and yellow hues. As long as it is not slimy to the touch then you are probably correct in your assumption.

    Need Feedback Please

    The damsels are generally pretty agressive and may pick on other tank mates - they will almost certainly attack eachother. You should not put any tang into a 30g tank - it is simply not big enough for them. Maybe consider a dwarf angel instead, but even that is pushing it. I would consider royal...
