anyone else???

Could you keep a mandarin with a puffer or is there a problem with aggression there?? I know that puffers are not reef safe and mandarins need lots of rock work with copepods and that groovy stuff. this will be a 150 gallon tank. can these two fish be kept together?

they have them on this site. if you just look it up over on the left where is says fish. i think the prices here are pretty reasonable for fish.

okay then i will put the LR in and add base sand around the rock and in the entire tank to seed it at the same time. i will let it cycle and then i will add some live sand. i will get about a pound of wet from the LFS and spread it on the bottom to seed it better. do you know if they sell black...

this is such a simple question....lol. i didn't know there would be a debate when i asked. first, i am in no hurry to have things cycle faster so if it is more beneficial to wait to put the sand in then i will wait. i don't care if there is a ton of sand floating around for a while. there won't...

yes i have a 30 gallon freshwater now that i would like to use as one.

he didn't say two fish, he said a 2 inch four stripe. in other words the fish is two inches...

sorry for the repeat?? weird....

so the plan would be.... move the tank into the house, put the rocks where you want them. wait for levels in the tank to stabilize, then add sand or cc or whatever you will use and maybe a little LS to seed it and wait again for the levels to stabilize, add plants and then start your cuc a few...

Okay so I understand that all rock has to be cured to deal with die off. However, if I get precured live rock from my LFS and take it in water to my new tank with no inhabitants yet, can I just deal with the die off cycling in the new water? That would allow it to cycle by itself without letting...

wow, after reading this whole thread, i want to go hide under a rock and forget all about heeping a sw fishtank. geez, there were times when i thought fw was hard. what in the world am i thinking?????

okay cool. thanks for the tips... are there any more fish that could fit in there well, what about a green bird wrasse? i have heard that they are a lot of fun.

okay right on!! thanks for replying. i wonder if there is some secret that makes people want to reply to you???? i think people are ignoring me.. anyway, is there anything else that i could put in there safely?? i would like a lot of movement in the tank and a lot of colors.

thanks for the info. not really a beginner, only to saltwater. i know it is a lot different tho. i keep a 30 gal aggressive freshwater now. hmmm, okay well my bf really wants a Nemo or i would totally go with a maroon. so in a 150 with a mated pair of false percula what else would do well?

yeah i did know that. the bf has all these ideas of what he wants but wants me to do all the research. i plan on having a refugium for more copepods for the mandarin after the tank has been up and running and it is safe to introduce one. i have a 31 gallon freshwater african cichlid tank now...
