Just make sure some food gets to him once or twice a week and he should be ok. Some are killers of fish. Usually the fish will be dying anyways when it happens. Some i've heard go after them regardless.

Adding on to Thomas's questions what kind of clean up crew do you have as well.... What kind of water are you using, RO or TAP? There are alot of water chemistry issues involved with constant cyano blooms and they are very easy to fix. A chem is only going to do its job initially but if you...

That weight sounds about right but i think you are going to be under that by 50-100lbs. I forgot to take into account the displacement of water from the rock you'll be adding. I guess plan on highest case scenerio :) I'll say it again be careful not to scratch the glass :) May want to place...

Ill second that. Queens are simply that, queens of the tank. Clowns are much better bets. Get a small one. That may help with the whole territoriality thing. I think it really all depends on the order of how you put the fish in and size.....

One thing i noticed is you have a great setup BUT i would add a 4x4 post on the back side of the tank to hold it up. Where the back makes a 90 degree angle. You have the right idea by placing braces on the wall and bolting them in but you WILL need that extra support in the back. Otherwise...

Add one other thing about NOT getting this trigger. At coney island this trigger was the only "tropical" lfs fish in the GIGANTIC tank. It had to be housed with 3 and 4 foot groupers and some other very very big fish. This tank was easily 10000 gallons. The trigger was full size, 2feet...

With a tank that size how do you keep up with the trace elements? Water Changes? Or half a bottle of Coral-vite a week? Only 10% is 100 gallons...... Just a suggestion on the corals(what I would do). Leave a little space for a new one but Let em grow :) With the rate of growth you could...

Ahhhh the power of halides.....

Probably a difference of seas. As far as which one is where i don't know. I'm fairly confident that hawaiian shipments do not have that coloration. Maybe a red sea variant.....Try going that route. Thats usually what distinguishes color. Case in point Sailfin Tangs....

You need to test calcium and alk daily until you get a feel for where the levels are going to go. I had to do that in my 20 for the past couple of weeks because my alk and calcium were being used up REALLY quick....

Wow..... Holy jeez. You now know the agony of LFS workers.... I've heard some things but that about takes the cake. Once had someone ask me if we sold the tanks in the walls. She was deadly serious. Had another person come into the store about 15 feet and ask me if we sold fish, then...

Sure 850 is enough? You forgot the generator in case the power goes out..... Can you explain how you placed the tank??? If im seeing things right you built a shed, for lack of better words, and placed the tank on the roof? Looks like you have a vaulted ceilinged garage? My guess is you have...

I looked again and it could possibly be a tulip snail but i really really doubt it. If he starts to get bigger than half an inch then youll know. Tulip snails are predators and need to be removed from the tank. Like i said i REALLY doubt it is one...

Its a strombus snail and will reproduce in your tank. They can subsist on whatever grows in the tank very well. If you have several you will start seeing babies and egg packets on your glass. They need flat spots to lay them on. Keep your eyes out. I took mine from the LFS and have LOTS of...

Not really. If you feed frozen foods take your fingers and smash up a few pieces and that will be enough. They filter feed anything in the water column. Just make sure that the feathers wave some or they will jump tube, rooted or not. If you have corals as well you could also do some...

To add on to that further NOT to get it, they get to be 2 feet, bigger than alot of full size angels, not to mention they are properly named for their demeanor.....

You've got enough light for both definitely. Its possilbe the tank is too tall for the light to reach down there properly. See how they do up top and then you can work them down slowly to where you want them and they can grow. Keep in mind when you move something it may not be the same for a...

You can buy premade all wired fixtures or you can buy the ballast that drives the bulbs, wire it to a canopy, and then buy the bulbs seperate. One requires much more work than the other and it all just depends on you....

Sorry. Missed that. Move the corals up to the light. If the shrooms turned white its becuse they are dead or very close to it. They will disintegrate soon from shrooms i've seen like that in the past. How big was your tank? NO is standard flourescents right?

Doodle: I'd say your shrooms are fine but if you want to move them down.... Have you noticed them moving to the sides of the rock they are on to escape the light? Find a spot for them and keep them there. If they don't like it then they will move on their own. The more you move them the...
