Fish like the longer rectangular tanks with a long stretch from side to side to swim in. I would not get a cylinder tank unless it is really big like 300 gallons. Fish don't like being in a round cylinder fish bowl type tank.These tanks are to please the human, not the fish.

Neither....find a used tank that is reef ready already drilled.

Hi, If the live rock has a lot of die off on it you will not need to add a shrimp. Maybe a shrimp would cause a better cycle. I always pick up a bottle of Cycle brand bacteria to help to colonize a new tank and it really helps and cannot be over dosed. The amount used for saltwater is twice...

CALLING OUT THE TANG POLICE!! If you want a tang then buy a tank big enough for a tank or they will not be happy.

You have to tell us what you already have in their now before we can tell you what you can put in there with it!!!

Ya know......Humans aren't invert or fish friendly. They eat shrimp, snails, crabs, clams, and fish (they don't eat the really pretty fish). Not to mention cows, pigs, goats, dogs and whatever else the desire. Damm humans! And with the ones that they don't eat they put them into little glass...

I had a flame angel and a lemonpeel angel in a 90 gallon that got along fine but I put them in at the same time and they really don't look alike at all.

Hi, Go to Loew's hardware and get a 33 gallon rubbermaid and place all the rock in there with saltwater and a powerhead for a week or two and make sure to add top off water. Test for amonia and nitrite every few days. When the levels are zero for a couple of days you can add your live rock to...

Hi, Just to clarify I change the fish to another tub every two days. I try to change them over every 48 to 60 hours so the ich that falls off the fish does not have a chance to hatch and reinfect the fish. Lesley

I think if you have not purchased a tank yet and want to get some of the faster swimming fish like tangs that they would be happier if they had a six foot length to swim back and forth in a straight shot. You could keep them in a shorter tank, but why if you are going to spend the money for a...

What are you going to do to put in and re-arange the rocks? Put on diving gear?

Did you get them after they may have been on a truck all day in the heat? That can kill them.

The other one looks to be some type of file fish.

I saw a really cool flasher wrasse tonight that would work.

You are already stocked to the max for saltwater fish. In saltwater it is one inch of fish per 3 to 4 gallons taking into account their full grown size.

I was just watching my tank when I saw my large orange striped leg hermit cleaning up on a piece of screen that I had used to anchor some food for the fish. Strange thing was as the crab was eating I saw two small clams taking a ride on his shell and they had their long cleaning snouts (or...

Hi, This new method works well for me. Treated fish with ich by transfering them between two 33 gallon rubbermaids using about 25 gallons of water each time for about 10 days and your ich is totally gone. I use two sets of power heads with venturies for oxygenation, two nice pvc pipes for the...
