    mixing saltwater

    RO Unit. With the system your looking to set-up, it would be unthinkable to not have one. It would be money well spent -- no question. You'll save yourself a ton of money in the long run. Good luck, and happy researching. :)

    Is a snowflake compatible with...

    Your tank is already overstocked as it is; the tang will not do well in there long term. If you plan on getting an anemone, then the eel is definitely out -- anemones move around whenever they want to, and eels are blind as bats. A run-in is inevitable and will most likely be unpleasant. Eels...

    Water changes on a 24g

    It should look a little mucky after a water change; actually, before I do the change I usually use a baster to stir up the detritus from the rocks and try to suck up as much of the stuff up as I can when I'm taking the old water out.

    Any Pic's Of A 6gal Nano Cube

    First should be ammonia, then nitrite, and then when those read zero and you have only a few nitrates do a water change and you should be good to put your clean-up crew in there.

    Mandarin Dragonet - Spotted

    Honestly, you could go through many mandarins before finding one that will take to frozen food. I do not think you could meet a mandarin's feeding requirements with that small of a tank. Also, that's great that Legoalie's mandarin is eating brine shrimp, but brine has little to no nutritional...

    Pix of my 150 FOWLR

    Curtains? That's the only thing I think will fix the sit-chee-ation. Cool pictures -- it's awesome how the fish look like they're floating freely through the air (when I located the foxface in the pic, it kind of startled me!). :)

    what would you put in my tank?

    Other rabbitfish are cool, too. Look into a Barred Rabbit (Siganus doliatus). Foxfaces can look washed out for many reasons (i.e., when lights first come on in the morning), but are usually very vibrant. Look into the Magnificent Foxface (Siganus magnificusa) -- absolutely beautiful! They're...

    No. No, dude...it doesn't. That is extremely disturbing. Like...not the fact that it's in the fish's mouth, but just IT, alone.

    tomini tang

    They're really cool fish -- similar to Kole tangs. Like they've already said, these fish scavenge for algae all day. For this reason, I wouldn't put one in a tank with fish that compete for the same food source -- it's a peaceful fish, but I noticed some aggression as a result of competition for...

    Moving My 65 G. Reef

    I moved my 10 gallon across town to a new house at the beginning of the year. I took out all the rock and put it in a big plastic bin, and put in enough of the tank water to cover the rock, and put the rest of the water in plastic water jugs. I left the sandbed and a tiny bit of water in the...

    Does my Brain look ok?

    I would put the brain on the sandbed. Brains have very delicate tissue that can be injured by rock. And considering their lighting requirements, and you having yours at the top of the tank, there might be an issue there as well. I think you'll seen an improvement when you move it to the sandbed...

    Puffer Fish Tanks

    Most toby puffers can be kept in a 30 gallon tank -- but that is the bare minimum. Any other puffers are going to require a system significantly larger than even a 75 gallon.

    Yeah -- but at least this time they're coming out with the "Forever" stamps.

    Pet peeves

    When I ask my fiance to do the laundry, he puts one load in the washer and calls it good*. Gentlemen, this is NOT "doing the laundry"! You must wash and dry everything in the basket, and fold it when it's done drying. ...Jeez. * This also applies to "doing the dishes." Just because the pots and...
