Sure. If you want, run the return through a "Switching Current Water Director" or SCWD. You can get them for under $40. I'd keep some ceramic noodles in there to catch big stuff, rinse them in tank water weekly to avoid nitrate buildup.

2 usually works ok as far as aggression towards eachother goes, however, when a type of fish is generally a little aggressive towards other species, they tend to be more so if they have a mate. Clowns are usually a good second fish to add but maroons are a bit of an acception because they may be...

When used properly, for the proper length of time, copper is effective.

IMO, I wouldn't do hypo unless the fish has ich. I qt new fish 14 days with copper.

Maybe that condi anemone is burning him.

Yes, they can choke. Don't put in pieces that are too big. Freeze dried food can be soaked in fresh water for a minute first which also helps.

Umm, are you sure thats not 2 females?

Be aware malachite green is very dangerous for pregnant people. It is easily absorbed through the skin and can cause many birth defects as well as cancer.

Welcome. Heres a list of acronyms we use abbreviations I'm a big fan of aquaclears, but not on a tank with sand.

It's a little less dense so you just need to get a slightly bigger grade. I don't remember where they stuff I use is from (I keep thinking Italy) but it's more like tiny pebbles than sand. It's about 1/10 the size of the head of a pin. For some reason it never had any algae grow on it.

Be aware that although they usually won't eat small fish they grow up with, if you add another of a type you already have, they may eat that then turn on their original tankmates. Please buy an Australian specimen as opposed to a Phillipine one because the Phillipine ones are cyanide caught.

I'd hate to think this, but it looks dyed to me. The way the dark color goes up the spikes a little doesn't look natural.

What you see at LFS has no relevance. Personally I wouldn't keep a Huma with anything. They tend to suddenly go on psycotic killing sprees with no warning. The Niger on the other hand is fairly peaceful towards tankmates including other triggers.

Yep, those are usually lead, you really need to get that out. Things in your tank can absorb it and become poisonous forever.

Check for phosphates. The only time I ever started over was when the electricity went out for a week and it was 95 degrees.

I get 5 gallon buckets from the ice cream store for $1.

Wow, I'm glad I never mentioned my idea for a tuna tank.

It's like a septic tank. Bacteria breaks down the waste into non-poisonous elements. You have to build up enough bacteria to handle the waste from the fish that will be going in. IMO, I wouldn't tell people to cycle with LR only, you'll be severly restricting their tank type options. Not...

Don't really think putting a magnet against an electric motor is gonna work out to well. :thinking:

This may be illegal for you, unless you own the reef. If it's government waters you cant add the rock, because that would be dumping, or take it out because of what will end up living on it either. By the way, the guys who lease the area for aquaculturing LR leave it in the water for about 8 months.
