    Another one of my tanks

    i think the best way to put it is that it is like putting a roaming animal that travels large distances in a cage, it would go insane. Your fish might not have any signs of stress right now, he is still young and under some good care he will probably live for some time. maybe some months? i dont...

    Territorial Clownfish

    what I have heard is gennerally the bigger one is the female and if the male can make it through the physicaly beating then all will be fine. I may have it twisted up with the female and male thing. But I think someone told me it ranges from about 3-5 days and the female will accept the other...

    Im setting up a 65 gal tank soon and it will be a REEF tank. one- Is my tank big enough? two- Is a pretty much a 50/50 chance that he might eat some corals?

    sluge at top of water? and glass fogging?

    My gf has a fairly new 20 gal reef tank. It is about 2 months old, maybe a little bit older. A couple weeks ago she started getting the sluge of a clear bubbly substance at the top of the water. You cant get it out with a net but I did do a water change and got it all out. A couple days later...

    Whats the best lighting/skimmer for me??

    I dont know what your budget is. But you could get a 48 aqua pod dual 150W metal halide. Now if you have a canopy you could also buy 2 retro kits that might, probably, would be a little bit cheaper. IMO two 150W metal halides would be nice over your 55. also do you have a sump? Im probably...
