well wastedincome...what I recommend on top of your l/s...IMO I would get some l/r to help seed the sand as well...not for nothin' but if you really want some live activity in your sand this method really helps...

not for nothin'...but I would recommend a mixture of snails and hermits to begin with...and don't get the blue-legged snails...the scarlet hermits are much more docile and easier to maintain...turbo snails are good enough for a tank that is just out of cycle...personally I like the mexican...

...not for nothin' but yeah...check your phosphates and see where you go from there...it just really depends where the main location of the algae is...on l/r...in or on l/s...glass...etc??? :confused:

shoot for the moon and aim for the stars...not for nothin' I have so many inverts in my tank that I sometimes think that I have too many...but every paremeter always checks out ok...but you do have to factor in l/r and l/s...you should be ok adding some hermits or snails...snails require more...

once again...the issue boils down to the age ole' factor...IMO doing things right and wrong in sw is not clearly defined as black and white...there is always an exception to every rule so just go with the flow...I personally have learned by experience and by loosing money from that but...to...

the only thing that I would possibly worry about is the fire hawk...not for nothin', but I have a two coral banded shrimp in two tanks and each of them cand stand their own ground...and if you do get a pair be sure they are mated or they will fight to the death!!!!

well I hope I didn't damage the poor fellow...I was moving some l/r around last night trying to catch a shrimp...but I think it will be ok...

tangs are very interesting creatures...I've had over a hand full of them in my sw days and everyone of them has had a different perspective on it's environment...just take it for what it's worth and don't worth about abnormal swimming patterns unless you see ick somewhere on the tang...not for...

IMO...an aquatic environment is extremely limited when a puffer is introduced...personally I would not put a tang with a puffer...or a clown with a puffer...or a trigger with a puffer...the only fish I would have is the puffer...some will probably disagree because exceptions do exist...not for...

I was trying to experiment with something new and bought a yellow coris wrasse...well when I was introducing him in the tank he was spooked by my scopas tang...anyone know if these guys bury themselves...I checked all of the l/r but no signs of him anywhere...not for nothin' but I think he's gone!!!

well here is a pic of my cb shrimp...I don't know if you can tell that he only has one of his longer claws... not for nothing...but I think my clownfish is a bet jealous of the attention my shrimp was getting!!!

Not for nothin' but I personally hear more about blone naso tangs...I also have a few sources to say that they are a bit hardier...I don't know if this is true...guess it just depends on the age old factor---THE FISH---

Well board mates...my coral banded has apparently lost one of it's larger claws...does anyone know if will regenerate itself or is he stuck with just one hand...not for nothin' he's really shy anyway, but ah what the heck-he looks marvelous!!! :eek:

WHAT ABOUT GREEN BRITTLE STARS??? ARE THEY AGGRESSIVE???? :eek:

In a tank of that capacity I would stick with the clowns and maybe the royal...better to understock than overstock...and be patient when adding fish...sure you can always add two fish at a time...but there is always going to be some risk involved...not for nothin', but stick with tanking your...

hello flameangel...this guys are only fish only tank safe...no reef for this guys...they will much on your coral...but they are interesting creatures...hardy as well...mine does lots of good cleaning for me!! :D

I kid you not...one of my clown's in my 55g loves to stir up my sand like crazy...he kicks it around makes all kind of sleeping holes but I am surprised that this doesn't really seem to bother the other fish...my only bother is would this hurt any chemical level in the tank??? Not for...

Now I know someone had posted something about some starfish that emerged from their l/r but I cannot remember if these little guys are harmful or not...I noticed one squirming along a piece of l/r in my tank??? Any answers would be highly appreciate!!!! :)

hey mark-24 and goby boy...another houstonian here!!!! :)

well...I got my lfs to order me a red general...I guess I will have to see what it's like when it comes in??? :rolleyes:
