I think you are really lazy not to do any water changes. Why are you in this hobby if you are not responsible enough to do routine maintence like water changes?

Sorry for the late reply. I forgot about this thread. Yes the transfer method worked well. I think that transfering between two large rubbermaids every two days with two powerheads with venturies and two heaters so that one can dry out between changes is an alternative to keeping a QT up and...

Did you cure the live rock before you put it in the tank???????

I too had an evil sixline that killed a royal gramma and a beautiful flasher wrass that I put in the tank. Never could catch him until I took all the live rock out of the tank to switch into a new 190. Lesley

Originally Posted by nicetry Sadly, this is not uncommon with these fish. Jaw dislocations can happen if they strike an object (rock, glass, etc) when going after food. There is not much you can do. The jaw might set itself. If the dislocation is sustained, the fish might have a hard time...

Hi, I would get the 6 foot by 2 foot 180 gallon. I just got one and could not be happier. I almost got the 5 foot by 2 foot tank but the price is nearly the same so why not go bigger so you won't wish you had later. Then you will never have to worry if your larger tangs are happy or not. Lesley

Originally Posted by Stanlalee hence I never buy fish from here. There is no excuse for the constant mortality complaints. five of my current fish including 4 anthias at two different times (a female, then the rest a week later) and a hippo (a little over an inch at the time) all came from mail...

Originally Posted by sepulatian Starting the tank is the most costly both time and money. Most people are so excited. Even when they do listen to us about taking things slow they still go a bit too fast. Get a qt tank and cycle it. A 20 gallon will work, if your tank is over 125 gallons then get...

Hi, A ninety gallon is a perfect size for a new person to saltwater fish. Had one myself for the last 4 years and just upgraded to a 190. Definately get a drilled tank with an overflow. When your tank is predrilled you do not have the misshaps with syphens not working properly every time the...

Turn the bubble level way down until you think it will not even go into the collection cup and it will usually get there within a few hours. Re-read your directions.

Up keep time on my 90 gallon was 1 to 1 and a half hours every two to three weeks for a 20 percent water change and changing out filter material....plus 10 minutes ever couple of days to empty the skimmer. Feeding... a couple of minutes per day. Replacing evaporation 5 minutes every other day...

Sure....cleaner shrimp like to hang out together and do not add much at all to your bioload as they just eat the food left behind from the fish.

Problem is a lot of other fish like pods too....like wrasses.

Yes....had several different bicolor blenny's over the last five years with two different royal grammas in a 90 gallon without any problems. They just ignore each other. Just make sure that they each have some good holes in the rocks to hide in so they won't fight for the only good hole in the...

Hi, Just set up my new 190 gallon tank and put all of my live rock from my old 90 gallon with most of the live sand. Had the rock and sand fallow for 6 weeks after ich outbreak. Now all I have are two new angelfish and my pair of clowns that I have had for years. Had the new 4 inch Majestic...

You let your maid mess with your tank?

How about the kind in the movie Jaws?
