could this be a funny response to the tang police thread in "new to the hobby" a bate and hook perhaps? If it is, you have all been caught my friends. There has to be something fishy going on here...

lol, I asked if it was at all possible to put a tang in my 58 and no one answered! I guess I know why now....

The middle opening in the front is 10". There are 2 13" openings on the back (but I cant get to them unless I move the whole set up). I would really like to be able to get a 20 gallon tank down there, Ill probably just have to suck it up and move the dang thing though.

Im trying to find a way to get it under my tank without breaking the tank down. I only have a 10 in opening to work with but a space 33 inches long inside the cabinet. Im toying with the idea of building one inside the cabinet but Im afraid that may be just as much of a pain as draining the...

o dear. Youre making my positive thinking very hard!

so if I put in a fuge can I ditch my emperor?

O and I plan to have 2 clowns, coral beauty, lawnmower blenny, 3 green chromis and a mandarin (the reason for the fuge) It will also have some corals when I get better lights. I currently have 50/50 compacts soooo....

I currently have 1200gph in my tank (2x koralia #1's and a marineland 400) I asked about flow because I am worried about the pump working faster than the overflow or vice versa.

Im a glass half full kinda gal. So Im thinking happy thoughts... happy thoughts... happy thoughts

I have a 58 gallon that is about to reach its 6 week anniversary and should be ready to put the first fish in Friday or Saturday! I was thinking about these: P.S. this will eventually be a reef tank 2 clowns (false percs?) Coral Beauty Lawnmower Blenny I was thinking 3 green chromis as first...

I would like to add an INEXPENSIVE fuge to my 58 gallon tank. I would put one underneath but my cabinet door only has a 10" opening and I dont want to drain my tank to get into the back opening. Sooo, I am open to making one beside my tank. I think I understand how to construct one out of a...

Im sure its just some under water scavenger. We have nothing to worry about, right?

What is wrong with biowheels?

O poop. I have the exact same things and Im positive they came out of my live rock (I shook them out). I left them floating at the top and yesterday I noticed they were empty ie something hatched out! Ahhhhh! Worse, last night I checked the tank in the middle of the night and I saw something...

The brown stuff is diatoms aka algae. I think just about every new tank gets it. It feeds on phosphates and silica in the water, when ever those run out it will go away. I wouldnt worry about it, it will subside naturally. Its just a part of your "cycle"

How long did you wait after adding your rock? And are there already livestock in the tank that would eat copepods? ie gobies or mandarins? My pods didnt show up for a about a month after adding the rock so you might just need to wait a little.

I love your madarin! I cant wait to get one for my new 58 gallon. But Im not through cycling. sigh. I need to get a fuge first too. Keep up the good work, your tank looks awesome!

My margaritas eat it. IMO they are more active than turbo/astria snails. They are clumsy and fall alot though, so you have to keep an eye on them

one raw peeled shrimp should do the trick, just take it out when you see your levels spike and the waiting game begins. PS I wouldnt try and put any fish back in until the tank has completely cycled or youll probably lose them all.
