    Tangs, Triggers and Puffers

    Oh, yeah! I have a Purple & Sailfin tang, Stars & Stripes puffer, Niger & Huma Huma trigger all together. This picture is two years old. The Puffer was about 5" then. Now he's about 13" and the Tangs & Triggers are about hand size.

    For some reason I can't see any pictures??? Here is a picture of Puff daddy. He's a stars & stripes puffer about 10". He looks like the goodyear blimp floating around in there. He has a great little personality too. Everyone knows in the tank when puffy is upset. I will post a bunch of shots...

    This has been lurking around my reef at night. I don't see it when the lights are on. But catch it early in the morning with a flashlight. Anyone see this before. I haven't added anything to my tank in over a year. It's the black spot in the middle of the picture with the white line in the...

    is my live rock dead! please help!

    Well, For 1. You have a very, very small tank for clown fish. At minimum a 20 gallon tank. 2. The tank isn't cycled yet to add the clowns. 3. A ten gallon tank might support 2 damsels at best. 4. After adding gravel & rock you might have 5 gallons of water in the system. If the clowns even...

    180 gallon aggressive tank questions?

    You can put them all together in a soup of aggressive fish. But, as they mature over the years the clowns, Queens & Undulated triggers tend to get very aggressive as they mature. A friend of mine has a 150 which was a community tank with a host of aggressive fish. Over the past 5 years he's down...

    180 gallon aggressive tank questions?

    Just remember you have to do water changes on a grander scale. I have a 180 with a 50 gal fuge, 25 gal sump and 300 lbs of live rock. I only have 7 large fish in there but still must do a weekly 30 gallon water change to keep the nitrates down below 50ppm. 2 triggers, 1 puffer, 2 tangs, 1 large...

    How Much ??????

    Unfortunatly, it's a love hate relationship with the LFS... We gotta have them and support them or we'll lose them. It just sucks when your in a bind and buy a UV sterilizer for 220 at your lfs and see it online the next day for 120. BUt, when you need a pump or heater right now they got it.

    Clown Tang

    I've tried 2 clown tangs and could never get them to eat. Good luck with it. Some people are lucky and have no problems. I would love to have one.. but just can't take another chance. I take it personal when a fish dies on my watch.

    Purple lobster?

    I've had mine For about 2 years now. I bought him and placed him in my 46 reef. Never saw him again. I thought he was dead. Then one day I was feeding my fish and he darted out. He's gotten huge. When I bought him he was a little bugger. About an inch and a half. I thought he was dead long ago...

    nitrare spike

    Check your water for ammonia... In this area our tap waters Ammonia is to the moon. It was effecting my dogs and now they drink the RO. Sometimes that can be a factor in the cause.

    nitrare spike

    First, I would get a good Nitrate test kit. (Salifert) Then test it again. Mine did that and I freaked. Changed 60 gallons of water and it was still to the moon. I bought a better test kit and it was 25ppm.
