You can have two but it can be difficult to pair them. I would not try to have any other fish in the tank if there is a Maroon because the female will claim about 4 square feet as her territory. In a 29 gallon that is the entire tank. If you really want a pair I'd recommend buying a pair that...

Yes, that one is the most common - yellow sponge. They do a small amount of filtering, not much but some. Other than that they are harmless. They also sequester silicates which can be helpful in reducing Diatom blooms.

I'm pretty sure it's a sponge. I used to know what kind it was but have forgotten. They are one of the sponges that can crawl around until it finds a good spot to settle.

A million question is great :) That's why the forum is here. Keep in mind that for every question there are multiple right answers. Each tank is different and one answer does not cover every situation. As I mentioned, a skimmer is not a requirement. It's more than a nice to have though...

Looks like a sponge from here. Does it move much?

Don't forget Flagtail Tang

If it was my tank I'd only take the top 1/2" of the old sand bed. This is assuming it's a healthy live sand bed with the appropriate critters keeping it alive.

Regal Tang was a commonly used name in the 80's.

I'm not sure what liquid you are referring to. I'd suspect it would be Calcium chloride mixed with Calcium sulfate dissolved in water. It should be a good additive, just more costly than making your own.

I'd guess it has a 0.5% chance of working. I strongly recommend against trying that combination.

Most tank are low on Sulfur as well so Magnesium sulfate works well except that it takes massive doses because Magnesium sulfate is mostly Sulfur. Magnesium chloride is a highly concentrated Magnesium source. SO, I would suggest using both.

Common name vs scientific classification. Common names are fine until you really want to know the details about your pet.

That comes across as total gibberish Beaslbob. Are you off your meds again?

$420 US

But for just a couple hundred you can have an entire Beaslbob tank!

I've seen it happen with frags that look completely dead. I'll be rooting for you but yeah, don't bank on it. Just wanted you to know it does happen occasionally. I talked one guy into pulling his dead frags out of the trash that had been there a couple days. One of them actually came back...

I doubt there is a "right" as long as you don't overstock or get too many predators. The Pistol Shrimp will dig and maintain a cave for the Shrimp Goby. The Tiger Pistol is safe with the Cleaner Shrimp. Not true for all Pistol Shrimp though so check first. What species of Cleaner Shrimp are...

Thank you Bryce for your wisdom. I've been in IT for over 35 years but mostly Mid size - Mainframe software development. I get all kinds of questions about PCs due to my career field but as far as personal computers go I'm just a power user and nothing more. Snake has gathered an incredible...

The Jaw Fish are notorious for carpet surfing and require an area of fairly deep sand with some rock rubble in order to build a cave. They do not damage a live sand bed and are easy to feed. The Watchman Goby also requires a den but does best with a Pistol Shrimp They are not difficult to...

They dissolve fairly quickly once they die. They need to open to actively feed but they can get energy from the light without opening up.
