Is your tank covered there could be low oxygen exchange levels, id remove the top if there is one and invest in some egg crate or some other screen.

I have a current marine usa orbit led (48inches). And if I added no corals to the system could i do like 45 inches of fish?

My plan was 1 fish every 2 weeks and i will look over the stock list or relocate the damsel.

So basically if i am only going to keep a few hardy corals like zoas and maybe a toadstool or something, i could stock like its a FOWLR tank with reef safe fish? If so ho many inches of fish in a 60 gallon? I know that in some cases there are exceptions because some fish stay in the rocks like a...

Disclaimer: This is a general question I am not asking about my specific system, im just curious. Does whether the tank is a reef or FOWLR have any effect on how many fish or how many inches of fish can be in a system?

On the damsels, the only damsel that most likely wont tear through almost everything in your tank is a starcki damsel, i have one his colors are vibrant and he is known to be one of the most peaceful damsels.

no problem, im curious though how big is the tank and what will be in it?

A good salinity for fish only tanks is around 1.021-1.024, it does not need to be as high as reef tanks.

I think this was already said but it is worth repeating, fish are more aggressive towards fish of a similar color and shape. So odds are you will see some aggression between the powders and the achilles, you would have better luck aggression wise with a purple/ yellow tang like jen said.

At the moment I only have a starcki damsel will be adding 2 blood orange clowns 1 lemonpeel angel 1 midas blenny 1 tail spot blenny 1 gold assessor basslet and 1 kole tang. I'm really interested in the two spot goby if I can get one that has been switched over to frozen food or small pellets.

Due to the fact that my stock list leaves me with little room i was looking for a goby that stays around 3 inches or below that. Anyone know if the Tangaroa goby will sift sand or will he just burrow? Maybe a two spot if i find one that is eating well. Any thoughts one these guys, while...

I am currently in the beginning of stocking my 60 gallon lps/softie reef tank. i am wondering what is the best sand sifting goby that combines looking vibrant, colorful and unique but also doing a good job cleaning my sand bed. any suggestions or experiences?

That is for water changes. I use freshwater for top offs.

It is around a month old with no fish at the moment. I use tap water with instant ocean mix, I mix it with a circulation pump and an air pump the night before the water is added.

OK I turned it down to an 8 hour schedule and cleaned the glass. When I woke up this morning some of it had already began to fade.

I recently(2 weeks ago) put new LEDs on my 60 gallon FOWLR tank and there has been a massive out break of what I think is diatom alge. I cleaned a ton of it yesterday just to find it has reappeard again today. Is there a way to get rid if it. I have heard it will go away or lead to coraline...

I was at my LFS and saw the fallowing piece and wondered what it was. I did not buy it because I did not buy my LEDs yet. Just curious about what it was, any thoughts?
