    How much for Quarantine?

    If you have the room to spare put one under your display tank, closet, jack up the bed and put a large tupperware under there. Whatever works is worth it. Get a complete 20gal high for 60-70 bucks. Shop around for cheaper ones. Tupperware and a buddies spare powerheads is next to nothing. Always...

    UV Sterilizer - Is it worth it?

    I have the same one. Works great. Would definitely get a skimmer first.

    I got a new fish and I love it

    Mine too is probably the most fun to watch out of any fish I have ever seen. Constantly exploring. (hunting for pods)

    probably the lamest thing that has ever happened

    Keep up the water changes. They do add small doses of vodka or pure brown sugar in tanks in Europe to kill off slime algae, but I'm sure it wasn't pure what the friend dumped in. As far as the friend, blow torch and pliers. Sorry about the fish

    powerheads

    #2's are 600 or 650. #3's are 850. Same size different props. The big guy in the pic is a #4. 2 of the #2 or #3 would be great depending on what corals you want in your tank. The flow is awesome. Comes out like a bell rather than one stream.

    Powder Blue Tang... Can I get One?

    He'll hold his own with the others. QT QT QT If you get him from your lfs get them to feed him in front of you. See if he's finicky or bold. The flame will be fine added before or after. Mine graze together all day long.

    What fish store do you go to

    Water changes, clean up crew, cut down on your light time. Do you have a skimmer? The tang will bump up the bioload in that tank.

    I borrowed all of my friends rubbermaid trash cans they have for mixing saltwater. Transfered my water and everything. Tank, stand, lights and equipment in one truck and h2o, live rock and live stock in another.

    Blue tang and purple tang

    Mmmmmmmmm...16,000 gallon. I'll start the collection plate for that. Just had a bad tang week. Have 2 local stores, 1 rocks the other does not. Keep their med to full grown tangs in 20gal tanks and end up killing them or giving them away. Last week gave away a orange shoulder and sold a...

    Blue tang and purple tang

    Take the other tang back too or get a larger tank. Not trying to be mean, but ALL of your tank is going to suffer from the bio load produced and the stress from not having enough room to swim and grow will kill the tang. Like I said, not trying to be mean just want to keep you and your fish...
