    That's not necessarily true all my corals came on either a plug or a very small rock plus it's cheaper that way cause I'm sure most places will charge you for the rock and the coral. So I would still buy a little bit of live rock and the rest dry the same with the sand cause if you buy all of it...

    I think since you want corals your probably gonna want a protein skimmer

    Just a few suggestions?

    As far as how long it will take it to become live will depend on how much dry rock you get but I'd say about a month or so. I'm sorry to say it but a purple tang won't work in a 75 the tank just doesn't have enough swimming room if you could get a 6' or so tank then I'd say go for it. You can...

    You could just buy 10-20lbs of live rock and buy dry rock for the rest to save some money you can also do the same with the sand. You don't necessarily have to buy all your rock or sand at first but if add live sand or rock down the line it could cause a mini cycle due to die off. As far as how...

    Phytoplankton - do all corals consume it?

    Only certain ones really need it. If your lights are good and your dosing your tank as needed you don't really have to feed them at all. What corals do you have?

    something is wrong with my baby trigger.

    I guess that's one way to look at it. Beth might be able to tell you about some internal problems fish get I don't know much about them

    I haven't seen them even look at each other since they were first introduced to each other. that's what I would think too but they acted normal until the morning that they died

    what happened?

    I treated the achilles in a qt when he got ich so it isn't in my dt. I also don't have much of a clean up crew other than a turbo snail and chocolate chip starfish so the injuries were there before he died and if you can find a 1" hippo tang that kill a 4.5" Achilles tang then I'll believe it...

    For most internal problems the fish will have to ingest the meds

    Is it possible to have too much filtration and flow rate?

    3000 seems kind of low for a 125 I have a 135 and I'm getting around 10000gph from all my powerheads my fish love swimming in the current.

    what happened?

    I'm not positive it is a parasite it could be something else but I know it's not aggression. He had ich the first week I had him and after that he was perfect so no I seriously doubt stress is what killed him

    Help with Fish list for 300 gallon

    Pretty much any tang you want. Also clown triggers have a rep for going insane and slaughtering his tank mates so you might want to think about that.

    what happened?

    Him and the red tail are perfectly fine. I know about dominance and the achilles was the dominant fish in the tank and like I've said already it's not aggression. I just don't see the biggest and most dominant fish in tank being killed without fighting back and the yellow tang and red tail...

    what happened?

    I had the achilles, hippo tang, yellow tang, and ared tail trigger and I seriously doubt a 2" yellow tang yellow tang killed both other tangs without getting a scratch on him and the wounds look way to big to have come from one another so I'm 100% sure it was not aggression

    Look at the top right and bottom left and you can see his skin on the paper towel.

    what happened?

    Plus his fins are being eaten away at like fin rot and his skin would rub off like if I touched him I would end up with black on my finger.

    It wasn't a fight I can promise that. The picturesdon't really show it but there is some blood in those wounds they are pretty deep
