    Tangs?

    Oh well, I guess with CLOWNRICO's 1 year saltwater experience under his belt with a 55 gallon, he is able to give great advice.

    Tangs?

    Busted!!! Anyways. Yes, keeping 2 tangs in a small tank much less 1 is a bad idea and serves no purpose other than you just dont care about the fish. It is no secret that these fish require much more swimming room and do in fact reach very close to their full body size in HEALTHY aquariums...

    Last thing I know is the person that purchased the tank found himself in debt and took it down and sold the livestock and put the tank and all equipment in storage and fell short on that and the tank and all the storage contents became property of the storage unit. That was nearly 4 yrs ago and...

    Morish idol

    Over the years I have probably had at least 3 and only 1 lasted over a year until I sold the whole entire setup and the fish went with it. I dont order them very often and when I do, it is because a particular customer wants one. I only order them for customers that I think can handle the...

    Morish idol

    I will have to agree with the fact that MOORISH IDOLS' should be left in the ocean. However, I myself have sucess with them and feel that only experienced reef keepers should try and even then, its a flip of the coin. Getting them to eat is the biggest issue as they tend to graze all day. I...

    Dosing lime reduce nitrates

    Kalkwasser also tends to make your skimmer work a bit harder and remove it excess waste before it becomes a problem.

    Mighty Putty?

    I just got off the phone with the vendor. They have no idea nor any info. on the manufacturer. I was told that if and when she came across it, she would mail me something. Yeah right......I have a better chance winning the lottery and I dont even play.

    Bleached Corals

    The stress was probably brought on by the intense light fluctuation from old to new spectrum. When changing bulbs, you should change them out one at a time over a period of several weeks (1 to 2 weeks in between for halides and HQI's or 1 week in between each for VHO's and PC's.) so that the...

    Mag Drives... ol' reliable

    We have mag 36s' plumbed into the tanks in our company truck for customer water changes. Good to know that they can take a small beating without damage.

    ? about airstones

    Micro bubbles in large amount can cause a problem and will affect the fish capability to respire. They will cling to the gills and the fish will not be able to intake enough oxygen so I wouldnt use it.
