Voice and scent, in that order, for people. Sound and aroma everywhere else. Seattle downtown. LOVE it.

The most aggressive fish should go into the main tank last. You can put your tang into the main tank and QT the angel. You don't want the angel gaining territory first. Don't skip the QT. Also, slow down your typing..it was tricky figuring out whether you actually meant tang or tank.

It isn't exactly a time issue, as much as a water quality issue. If you haven't already, buy yourself a test kit so that you will know when your tank has completed it's nitrogen cycle. The cycle follows a predictable series of events. Once you have the kit, do the tests, write down the results...

He's either talking about the fish (what a cutie!) or the coralline algae? I agree, a full tank shot would be sweet..it looks lovely!

Hey, Rykna, how about suggesting a nice lighting fixture and the 100.00 "good faith" credit? And don't let him talk you down from what you need.

I have t5 on my 55 gal, where my SH were kept, no heat issues. There are just zoas and xenia and a clove polyp in the 55, so not a lot of light was needed, but they are plenty. I wanted to be sure I would not have to re-invest later, if I wanted more corals. I paid 240.00 for the lighting, which...

Congrats FlameGuy! :cheer:

I have to differ with that idea. MH (metal halide) lights could easily overheat a 29 gallon tank. I don't know exactly what anemone need as far as watts per gallon, but I am sure there are other lighting options that will work. The Clown and Anemone board might be helpful, if you decide to go...
