Hello, I teach at a high school that used to have a salt water tank years ago. The live rock that was in the tank has been sitting for years in a 5 gallon bucket. It is kinda dirty and still full of salt. If possible, I would like to add this as base rock to my set-up. Is there a way to...

Hi everyone! I have a 55 gallon relatively new tank (about 5 months old). I am slowly trying to get it stocked, and for fish right now have just a pair of false percs that have been in there for about 2 weeks. I am thinking about what to put in next and would really like to get a two-spot (or...

Ok, I'll try that...thank you.

Hello everyone, As some of you may remember, I recently moved my tank 60 miles to my new place of employment. I had no fish in it at the time and the move seems to be successful. The problem I am having now is that a week ago, I purchased a pair of false perc clowns. They are both very active...

Are wrasses relatively hearty? Any special needs?

Ok, thank you!

Hi! I have a 55 gallon tank and due to job changes, by husband and I are moving out of town. The place we are moving is about an hour and fifteen minutes by car from our current house. We have a plan to move the tank to the new place (my classroom until we decide to buy another house), but I...

Ok, how about any type of fairy wrasse???

uh oh. looks like a perch to me too...but it has been in there now for almost 2 months and hasn't caused any trouble...do you think it still might have some tricks up its little sleeve? I'll let MonaLisa know tonight about this!

Hi, About a week and a half ago, I finally put in my first fish (a flame angel). I have been slowly putting together my wish list for what else I want to eventually put in and stumbled upon a picture of a clown fairy wrasse. Does anyone have one? How is it? Easy to keep? Gets along with...

oh...i see . Nothing fancy like that on my tank~

Ooooo! Good suggestions!! I think maybe fairy wrasse has been added to the list! My tank also is quite reef ready. I do not yet have MH, so I have to be careful what I put in there, but my mom has given me a frag of her pink zoos and a frag of her xenia and they are doing beautifully... Thanks!

I do not have an oveflow box. What's "drilled"?

I should just set up a fuge, I guess... As for an additional fish...I just haven't put my finger on what it is that would be a good addition to my list... :thinking:

I would LOVE to have a mandarine, but I don't have nearly enough live rock (I only have about 60 pounds) For inverts, right now I have 2 emeralds, 3 turbo snails, and a bunch of hermits. I plan to get a good variety of shrimp and maybe some brittle stars... I don't have a fuge...unfortunately....

Hi everyone! I have sort of taken a leave of absence from this board for the last few months. So many things going on, saltwater had taken somewhat of a back seat (new job for me, new job for husband, moving, and new baby on the way)...until now!!! Back in early July, I got my first fish for my...

As a side note: my clean-up crew all seems to be doing great. I have about 18 hermits, 3 emerald crabs, and a turbo snail. Would they be doing so well if something with my water was off?
