I have 5 mexican turbo snails but am going to get some more snails today. I wrote down some recommened here to see if the aquatic(sp?) store has any of them. Thanks I didn't know if I could mix the sand myself.

I'm not sure how big he is but he looks realy big with his fins out. 6inches maybe. Sailfin Tang

Oh I feed algea pellts 3x a day(only what I can see them eat in less then a min). A little red seaweed once a day. And one small froozen reef mix square twice a week.

170g Tank it came with the house I bought and just moved in a month ago. It's about two years old, you can see what I have for filtration if you find my photo post(I'll try to bump it up). Its got a sump and a skimmer, it had a side filter but it doesn't work.

A couple weeks ago I had to do a complete water change. I pulled all the live rock out of the tank and left it in pails with the tanks old water. It was less then 24hrs before it was back in the tank. I expected some die off of the algea that was on it because I couldn't put it all back the same...

Maybe a bite. Before I got rid of the big Mono he bit the little purple guy and it left white marks(scales missing I think) Hes all healed up now.

Yeah kind of, I'll have pics in the morning. I just scooped up dead algea of the sand bed and the tanks all dusty looking. What do I do with it?

My Large Sailfin Tang ripped his tail fin and has some pitting by his eyes(just tiny) after we had to take him out to re-do the whole tank. The tail healed in just a couple days and his face is looking better.

is that good or bad?

Mexican Turbo Snails. I can get pics up tomorrow or after work tonight

I noticed today there's white piles on some of my live rock. Looks kind of like what caterpillars make. Could they be snail nests?

Last two pics. Oh and I cleaned the sand with my water change today(algea died off the rocks from moving them around). Is 25g once a week good for a 170g tank? If anyone could tell me what this next fish is it'd be great And the filter

It's 170g with live rock and live sand(40LB). It came with the house we moved into almost a month ago and I've already put in hours of work and hurdreds of dollars. The previous owner left it a real mess. The Sailfin Tang, Yellow Tang, 3 Stripe Damsel and the "unknown" came with the tank. I...

Yeah it's probably best to remove the yellow tang at least until the new fish settle.

I'm just new to this too but my Yellow Tang did bug the new fish I added for about 12 hours then it was fine. It's a big 170g with live rock for fish to hide so the new guys could get away from the Tang. My Sailfin Tang which is a monster in size didn't bother with the new fish at all. I'd...

The Sailfin Tang that came with the tank in the house I bought is absoultly HUGE! So is the Yellow Tang but I think, I hope their full grown. It's 170g tank so lots of room for them to swim.
