hmmm...which way to go :notsure: they both sound okay. I'm not in a rush or anything. I just don't want my house to really smell like rotten eggs or anything of that sort With the raw shrimp, can i use cured lr? thanks so much for ya'lls honest opinion! :happyfish

that's what i thought too! I would like to cycle with uncured lr but I heard it really makes the house stank. Is it that bad, if it is I can cycle with cured and just throw in shrimp. The lr at lfs is 7 for cured and 5 for uncured.

Okay, I pretty well know about cycling now and I understand the spikes of ammonia and nitrite and all but what I have a question about is....I know you can cycle your tank with a piece of raw shrimp but my lfs is telling me I am crazy to want to do it that way! He says that I need to add a...

thanks for all the opinions. I really really like the Flame angel. The coral beauty is pretty too. I can only have one angelfish right? Or can I have a male Flame and a female coral beaut? :thinking: If I cant' i think i'll go with the flame.

I think that i'm gonna switch from a tang to an angelfish. The flame angelfish looks very nice and brightly colored and it says it won't get that big so I think that's what I will get instead :jumping: I don't have anything on my list that's red so....

well what should I believe? I don't want to take every word from my lfs because they want $$$ and i bought an encyclopedia of marine life and reef secrets...they all said the same thing. I'm just comparing what i read with what others say to get the most knowledge before i go out and buy a fish.

the clown tang calls for a 90 gallon whereas the atlantic blue tang called for a 75 gallon. Thanks though. I didn't like the lemonpeel (dont' care for yellow fishes that much). :thinking:

alright. I'd like to find something that's colorful and peaceful that's a little bigger then my 2-3 inch fish on my stocklist. I've searched all kinds of books and I dunno. :notsure: That really bursted my bubble.

the one i saw at the lfs was a yellow sailfin tang (that's what he told me) But now that i see it in my book it looks more like a yellow tang. I really want a colorful one with vibrant variating colors. I'm not to fond of the yellow ones.

awww shucks :notsure: Do you know of one that would be suited well for that size besides the yellow sailfin?

I have a 55 gallon tank and I really love tangs :happyfish They are by far one of the beautiful fishies IMO. I'm really interested in the atlantic blue tang and in one of my fish books it says it can grow to 13.7 inches. Do you think it would be suitable and happy in a 55 gallon? I also would...

I just recieved a 50g tank yesterday. It has been sitting in a barn for the past 6 months so it is NASTY!!!! It was given to me FREE So who am i to complain. I am Very very grateful. The problem is, when i say funky i mean very very funky. There is what looks to be like dried up algae on the...

okay thanks everyone. Someone just GAVE me their 50g today! Can u believe that GAVE it to me! You don't hear that very often. I think I'm gonna start out with that and build it up (do my studying too!) then when I get pretty darn comfy with that then buy my biggen!!!! Thanks for the book tip! I...

okay thanks that helps me out. I'm gonna go as big as i can. I would love to have it built into my living room wall so that we can see it from my bedroom and living room. Ahhhh! So relaxing that will be. ***) May take awhile to save up for it but it will be worth it. By the way do you all know...

okay, well then i definatley need to start thinking of something smaller :scared: That is way out of my budget!!!! I really want various types of fish, and very colorful ones at that. I also like the anemones and some coral. How do you determine how many fish, anemone, etc you can have by tank...

hello everybody! I have recently just gotten serious about my love for saltwater aquariums. I've wanted one for as long as I can remember. I've been kinda weary though because everyone that i know who has had one, their fishes are in fishy heaven . Well, I am determined I am going to have one...
