hey, first, you could leave your damsels for your eel to eat. Coral beauty is fine, but the yellow tang may get cramped in a 60g. the flame hawk is a favorite of many people, im not sure about hawk/eel compatibility. Basicaly if it fits in the eels mouth, its eelfood. -oozy-

Hi, if your buying 75lbs from an established tank, you wont have a cycle -IF- you kept the rock submerged during transportation and at a resonable temperature. I have cycled several tanks, honestly lighting does not matter much one way or the other. keep on your water chemistry tests to see if...

hi again, I personaly never manualy "stir up" my sand bed...ever I try to use as much natural "ecosystem" as possible if you would have even a 4" DSB and have a "cuke" "sand sifting cucumber" they will only skim off the surface. Even if they dig deeper they do this slowly enough for your DSB or...

Hello, I would agree with cain420. Salt water aquariums are very delicate and very personal. You would have to have a knoledge of where your friend wants to go with the tank. While "most" fish wont have a problem with a mandarin, you will need to know a few other factors before commiting...

cuke = sea cucumber I have a tiger tail, it keeps the sand very clean.

hi, i have had the same problem in the past, here are a few good ways to stop the algae. 1 get a cuke 2 lighten your feeding 3 shorten your lighting times to 6 hours full intensity. presto! in a couple of weeks youll wonder where that ugly stuff went. goodluck! -oozy-

Also to answer your other question: yes you may mix the two, I have had a 3" DSB and the first inch was CC the top 2" was sand. currently i have the same setup. some people dont like the way this looks when its mixed. But I dont really mind. -oozy-

Hi, The "problem" with CC is the partical size tends to allow food particles and detrius to inflitrate and get trapped and rot. This will usualy result in slightly higher nitrite&trates. If you have fish only its not a problem, but you may want to vacume the CC from time to time. If your...

cool test, i got 13 of 15 =B+

hello, it is my practice to keep any and all chemicals that i dont use in my tank far away from anything that has to do with my tank. you will be running a small risk by doing this, personal i think it would be a silly risk. you may want to squeeze your sponges and rinse your tank cleaning...

Hi, these compatibility lists are really only "guidelines" as each fish has its own personality traits. I have a butterfly who was being chased by an angel, when i added a fire goby the butterfly stoped being chaised, but started chaseing the fire goby... ***) so here is the thing, unless your...
