    Fish With Personality/Recommendations

    And xenias and sofites seems to be the one that angels go after the most, From stories I have heard anyway. I would totally go for a small tang as long as that is the big one in your tank, that is. I would have the tang as the show case fish and a lot of other small ones for more activity.

    Fish With Personality/Recommendations

    Well if you are going to have any corals, get the tang. If you aren't then go for the angel. angels can sometimes nip corals. it's kind of a crap shoot when you get them. I would personally get the tang because everyone has small angels. I think a 65 is borderline for the size tank they need so...

    Mandarin

    Thanks!! I think mine is more outgoing because he is handfed. He really doesn't have anything on the rocks to pick at because he cleaned out the pods after the first month. I do buy some from time to time but he completely weaned onto frozen foods now.

    Is this coral sick?

    We need to know how many watts per gallons of water as well. For instance how many bulbs and how many watts each?

    Green Mandarin

    yes. Very normal. They can be quite shy for the first couple of weeks. Some never get over it. Mine is handfed and very outgoing though. Give him a couple days.....

    Lighting Question

    You could do some duncans. Some dendrophyllias would be really pretty too...I would go with a flaming prawn goby and a clown goby. Both very small and beautiful although the flaming prawn is pricey. Very cool fish!!

    White Spine Unicorn Tang

    I honestly think you are overstocked now, especially with the grouper. I would wait until you upgrade......

    first attempt at a nano

    If he is already eating brine, try to get him on to some other stuff too for the nutrition. Mine eats omega brine, mysis, krill, and emerald diet with vitamins and garlic soaked in. It seems to make their colors come out better....I honestly don't know if you will be able to keep him alive in...

    Not what it used to be

    You could also make it simple and buy a wrasse of some kind. Sixlines (aggressive but small) and flasher wrasses really like bristle worms.

    SG Issues - check levels at LFS

    Lower or higher sg is not necessarily healthier for fish. If you qt all your fish properly they will not have ich anymore so it will not be an issue. The reason you qt the fish is to kill the ich because it is an invert itself. You were correct in assuming that live rock also cannot be kept at a...

    Mr. Yoo's 20G topless Nano Reef

    You are prolly going to have heating problems. You honestly don't need that much light. What are you planning on keeping in this tank? If you are going to have a chiller then you might be alright though. And......that is 12 watts of light per gallon!!!! You are prolly going to kill any corals...

    New fishy in the tank

    Aphtasia problem

    I used the aiptasia x and it worked very well. Killed the large one that I had and my peppermints took care of the rest of them.....

    tankmate

    Not knowing the other fish in your tank, I would say yes. The fu man chu lion or the fuzzy dwarf should be fine. The would actually be really cute......what kind of puffer are you thinking a blue spot or saddle?

    Not what it used to be

    IMO I am going to recommend water changes once a week. 10% once is a week is far more effective than a lot all at once. Think of it like rain. If it only rained once a month, our oceans would have serious problems. Blow off the rocks with a clean syringe, do the water change, and clean out your...
