BIGGER. Seriously, we have now bought 3 tanks off of CL for 1/4 of the price + some goodies thrown in. You have to be a little patient and watch everyday to get the best deals. It doesn't sound like you are in a huge hurry anyway. Your hawkfish would love it!

Please let us know how it works for you.

Wow.....love all the pictures but esp. the jellyfish. How long does it take to go thru the Georgia aquarium? One of these days we will drive to FL and stop by on our way. Occassionally we go to Shedd's Aquarium in Chicago, that is a great place too if you ever get the chance to go. Thanks...

I recently made a wet/dry filter. It also makes a loud gurgling (obnoxious) noise from the siphon tube in the back. I saw someone on YouTube that used plastic ties and put them inside the back siphon tube. I just made a loop with the ties and rest them on the top of the siphon tube. It has...

Do you have a local reef club that has a web site? Maybe you could post a message there. Also try calling some local fish stores, maybe they know of someone or have an employee that would be able to help. Sorry.....wish you were closer.

Great....my tank is cycling. I have a few pieces of live rock and one of them has the same things on them!! I've done a couple of water changes to try to keep the critters alive and now I find out I should be trying to kill them! BTY---JAXFishGirl---love your dog!! Is it a boxer? I'm on my...

Ya'll are raining on my parade!!! I know deep down that they must have a very large tank but I was also hoping someone would say "they are fine in a 120 gal". I adore them and soooo would love to have one.......I guess I like them enough to want them to be healthy and happy.....Man. The dwarf...

I would lean toward the second fish store--who advises people to wait. Still take everything with a grain of salt. We have a great LFS that has been in business 25 years, he gives some great advice, but every once in awhile says some questionable things. Everybody has their own ideas, just...

It seems like you have accomplished ALOT in one month. Seriously, if I were you I would just leave everything alone for a few weeks. We have always had much larger tanks and only add one fish every month or two. If you keep adding things and don't wait awhile, one of these days your tank will...

You have a beautiful tank! Thanks for posting. It gives me hope that mine will someday be done cycling and something can live in it

When I was a kid we would go to Pawleys Island, SC every year and bring home a few hermit crabs and some other small critters. The only problem we ever had was with a sally light foot that got too big! The zoo ended up taking him from us. I know they are more strict about what can be taken...

I realize you have made a decision but we had 4 tangs in a 180 for over 10 years without any problem. We had a yellow, hippo, sailfin, and kole. They died because a farmer hit a pole and knocked out the power for a week. We did add the yellow and the sailfin at the same time however. You...

I recently set up a 120 long with 2 koralia #4 that seem to be providing alot of flow. The magnet works great! I'm glad I went with them.

Our hippo and yellow tang always got along perfectly. We had them in a much larger tank though. We also had a large sailfin and kole tang and they all were model citizens together. You won't be able to keep them in a 75 gal tank for too long though, they really need room to swim. CB need...

That is good to know. Today my ammonia was between .5-1.0. I have a test kit from API but it is tricky to match the colors sometimes. I will do a water change tonight. Thanks for the quick response!

I'm sure this will sound like a silly question but this is the first new tank I have started. Previously I had bought established SW tanks and just moved them. We are about a week into our cycle. I have a fair amount of base rock and a few pounds of live rock. The live rock is covered with...

Didn't get a response in the New Hobbist section, hoping someone here will know. I would like to attempt to make my own wet/dry filter for a 120 gallon tank. Does anyone have any recommendation what size dual overflow box and return pump I should purchase? I found a dual overflow rated at...

Thanks for responding! Any idea how big of a pump I should have for a 120gallon tank? What is interesting is that they were selling them together. Nice that they pair them up correctly

I've been out of the hobby for several years and have recently purchased a 120 gallon tank. Previously I had always used canister filters but have decided to attempt to build my own wet/dry filter for this tank. I'm wondering if a dual over flow box rated at 1200gph and a return pump ca3000...

Okay--just found one online that looks like him. It is a mimiac/chocolate tang. Didn't know they were the same thing, just change colors as they mature. Love that, cause I have actually been interested in the mimiac tangs as well--get two for one!! :cheer: Online they were asking $100 +...
