How about an ocellaris clownfish instead. And the wrasse I really have no idea, I am just going on the given description that they are peaceful and can be kept with other wrasse. New list: 1 x Green Clown Goby 1 x Coral Beauty Angelfish 3 x Orange-Line Chromis 1 x Ocellaris Clownfish 1 x...

Anyone else have any opinions or thoughts on the tentative setup?

Thanks for the information. I have used one medicine in it I believe twice for scrapes and such, didn't do much if not make things worse.

Alright so this is the whole planned tank, nothing done yet though. 55 gallon (already have) 70lbs of live sand 65lbs of live rock Algae Scrubber for filtration (DIY) two hoods with single fluorescent bulb each (already have) Stocklist: 1 x Green Clown Goby 1 x Coral Beauty Angelfish 3 x...

Good question dman. If you are agreeable to it, we could probably work something out depending on the gear.

That would creep me out so much, its like maggots in the water, bleh. I don't care if they're helpful or not, they would be creepy. Other than that opinion I have no idea.

Delaware is closer to texas then buffalo at least. But hey, It would be convenient if you were still there, I am gonna be in ny, ny allot this december for family stuff.

That is very inconvenient, I would have made (and by me I mean my dad driving and me talking with him or sleeping) a multi-hour drive to pick it all up, but texas is a little further then a few hours.

Yup, while I dont want to go reef (at least I dont think so) I wouldnt mind lots of live rock. Also, I would be running the HOB filters I currently have as filtration until the algae scrubber has enough growth on it. I am thinking of building the algae scrubber right now (as in this week, or...

As you may find out, I am a little OCD about planning my tanks out, as in I try and plan everything. Problem is, when things dont work perfectly like I imagine they should I sometimes have no idea what to do. Or I get tired of planning and just do it when its not ready, I can sometimes be an...

I am still converting, but I am also getting another tank hopefully. Then the algae scrubber would be because it is an easy DIY and filters well, and then I dont need to buy a skimmer necessarily. I have the tank and even filters, but like you dee I just need the live rock, sand, and the small...

I am a little confused, so the algae screen you linked me dman needs more air, but a refugium doesnt? sorry its just a little confusing. Also I havent even cleared out the 55g of freshwater yet, it still has fish in it. This is just the planning stage before I do anything, and from the feedback...

I dont want to drill my tank so I will do a HOB over flow. The refugium seems much like the algae scrubber to me, are they the same? But I really like the idea of increasing tank surface area with a sump, no mechanical filters with the algae scrubber, and having the display tanks water level...

The link is very interesting. I am thinking of buying maybe a 10g or 15g tank that my lfs usually carries used for cheap, clean it, and then try and set this up in a sump. That way I can also have my heater in it and run water into it for water changes. Anything else somebody should add to a sump?

I am assuming the 150 gph is from the UGJ I was reffering too? They are not an actual jet, they are powered by a much large powerhead which goes through a piping system and shoots water out of multiple jets, and each one will have around 150gph, they prevent dead zone by being able to be placed...

On my freshwater fish tank I am currently running two penguin 350's if thats what your asking. For the saltwater tank I hope to do I am hoping to either get a used protein skimmer, make one, or just have enough live rock and water flow to negate the need for it. Whichever is more cost effective.

thanks, and first person to actually comment on the fish I think. What numbers should I pick? I know that angels should be by themselves because they're agressive towards other angels usually, and I have heard gobies like pairs. I am also thinking of adding mandarin dragonets to the list, would...

Thanks for the warning, wouldn't have even known it was a competitors site because I didn't know there was a store till you said that. Yah, I found a guy selling live rock $2 a lb, guess i will check him out for how the rocks look.

I know about cycling a tank, I have cycled freshwater before. And besides, if you check the live rock website it states that they will send you the sand and half of the live rock, then once you cycle they will send you the rest of the liverock which has the living things growing on it and the...
