    I want to Buy a protein Skimmer, But

    The in-tank skimmers are 100% useless so don't consider that an option. HOB is about all you can hope for. Is there no way to cut a hole in the canopy to add a HOB Skimmer? RE: Hair algae - Need to know more about your tank - inhabitants, feeding schedule, water conditions. Also a brief...

    Is this set up okay?

    He said he wanted "False Percula Clownfish". That is fish store slang for Amphiprion ocellaris.

    my first try at a tang.

    "my qt is only 15g with 100gph flow" This should be enough to keep it healthy for a few weeks. I was on the wrong track.

    Lizzy's Life Aquatic

    What?!? I strongly disagree. Snails do not need you to provide them with larger shells.

    my first try at a tang.

    Chocolate Tangs need to actively swim in strong current during the day in order to get enough oxygen flowing through their gills. This takes at least 4-6 feet of swimming room, even for a juvenile. At night they will wedge themselves between a couple of rocks that have a good flow going past...

    I think if you changed from Ocellaris Clownfish to Percula you would be fine.

    Yellow tang and a Long nosed butterfly

    In my opinion it's primarily their docile nature. They live in fear in the typical aquarium and don't get over it. That makes them very vulnerable to injury and disease. Secondary, it's related to feeding but more like nutrition.

    Yellow tang and a Long nosed butterfly

    I'm still impressed. They usually don't make it past 3 months. Question for the group - has anyone kept a long-nose longer than a year?

    Just heard.

    More people have died of radioactivity from non-nuclear power plants than have died from nuclear disasters or thermonuclear bombs.

    The nuke part? Modern nuke plants are far cheaper to build and operate. In addition there's never enough fissionable material in one place to cause a meltdown. I see I'm preaching to the choir but it had to be said. "The 2014 version of a nuclear power plant is not the same as the 1960...

    Have you decide which saltwater fish you wish to breed? That will make a lot of difference in equipment.

    I want mandarins and when I buy them I want the to spawn

    Food is only one piece of the puzzle. There have been a few people put the last piece into place, unfortunately I'm not one of them. In my experience they require a variety of healthy food. ORA seems to do it best. From what I have seen they need 18"-24" to do their spawning run. My did the...

    Just heard.

    If we stay on our present course we'll be speaking Chinese in under 25 years. If we wanted to be energy independent we would have thousands of small self sufficient nuke plants currently in operation or in construction as a stop gap until we invent the next generation of energy creation. Oil...

    Kudos to you for researching before buying. I agree that browsing the different forums here will get you started. There are an abundance of experienced reef keepers here as well that love answering questions.

    I do not believe the Saudi's have been in line to work towards our interests. Not at all. As long as we're in the UN and NATO we should support them with our military. I do not believe we should have any US bases anywhere in the world at this time that are not NATO or UN.
