I have a 35gallon hex tank. I have about 40 lb of Marshal Island live rock, 20 lbs of live sand. I have a small-medium Percula clown. He is very healthy and is really cool. The problem is I have been unable to keep anything else in the tank with him. He kills everything I put in the tank...

Thank you Birdy for taking the time to respond to my questions. I really appreciate your help. If I were to add that 96 watt PC lighting would that be enough light to allow me to try any Anenome or corals that my Percs may host in? (I found it at another pet store today fo only $96 vs $126) I...

Another question:) ... Should I have a clean up crew or is that for reef tanks?

I saw a 20" long, 96 watt pc light hood at my lfs the other day. It has two built in fans to keep it cool. It costs $125. Would it be worth the money for this lighting? Again, I do not really want to keep corals. Just fish and maybe live rock. Any benefit to this lighting for me?

Originally posted by killafins personally i don't think it's a good idea to put the heater anywhere near the filter. with the current, the water moves and because of the energy moving the water is warmer. Now, if you place the heater farther from the tank it will read it's coldest temp and keep...

I am new to the board but I am glad I found it. There seem to be a lot of very knowledgable people here. Anyway, I need some help. I used to have a saltwater tank setup about 10 years ago. I had a 38 gallon tank. It had an undergravel filter with two powerheads, crushed coral substrate...
