Looking at the last picture i was wondering... how many yellow Tangs could you put in there?

I'll go with Debbie on this one. It's a lot more fun than getting a tank then finding out none of the livestock you like will fit in it.

Your tank must be pretty sweet for them to want to do that. :joy:

I didn't post a skimmer link because they sell them here.

Everyone should read a book before doing anything, including buying a tank. What are some good basic books you would recommend? Please post full title and auther.

I have one that I'd like to see, " What's a good book I should read before I get started.?".

If your tank is a standard glass 30g, 36 1/4 x 12 5/8 x 16 3/4, Look at these, 2 of theses would be great 36" HO T5 Or this one 192w PC +moonlights Both of those are less than $100

Most of them have fans, and legs that keep them about 4" above the tank. I like deeper tanks, you can have more variety. The more light a species needs, the higher up you put it. Start with them a little low and move them higher depending how they're doing.

They're very comparable to Coral Beauties in every sense. They are cool, not as many people have them, they look way better after they settle in at home that they do at the store.

Nothing is easier to catch than fish. It's takes 3 guys about 2 hours to get over 100,000 damsels. Hermits tend to stay on the bottom when you pump cyanide over the reef.

Those darn parents! You set up a 30 and they want to build an inwall tank. I wouldn't be suprised if they didn't even let you pay for it.

They arent hard. Dont keep them with anything that will ever fit in thier mouths. They don't seem real fond of fast swimmers zippin by them alot, but they deal with it. They like to have ledges to kind of perch on.

Animals in captivity sometimes don't use their secret defense unless they feel threatened. Heres some articles where its mentioned Color Change

If you remove the dead stuff as it dies it will adjust itself to the amount you need. The common guidline for light is 12 hours, and like fedukeford said, the light on the fuge should be the opposite 12 hours.

Sometimes they have water in their shell that could contain a lot of bad things. Supply and demand, 200 hermits would last an average store a month tops, times the number of stores in the world...

Yep. Theres always something going on in a tank of those. You gotta get up close but I do anyway.

My spiteful dog made a fool out of me. I stepped on my dogs foot once and she walked with a limp for 3 days, and really sucked up the attention. She got major sympathy from everyone.Then I noticed she was switching the limping foot to whatever side of her I was on. AH HA! It takes a lot smarter...

Take a book off of their shelves and look up the livestock you're interested in. Ask the LFS guy about the livestock. If it doesnt match the details in the book, ask him about it. He may have a different but valid opinion since the book may be very general. If it's just a little larger minimum...

You can always go get a book off the shelf at the lfs and look them up right there.
