Need to no water parameters, tank size, age. Need to no exact diet also,

pods and they are ok.

If you plan on no fiter then I would get the back pac from cpr. Its a skimmer and has a bio area combined into 1. You will definately need the lr and sand and might still have problems. What are you going to do for water movement?

Need to no water parameters before and after water change.

MH lighting seems to be prefered for an anemone. I think the only thing that might host it is a maroon clown but you can't add him with existing clowns. The little buggers are mean and territorial with other clows. Learned that the hard way.

I have fiji rock and I have allways been happy with it. You can get it from this site and it is good qualitity rock. As far as the tang most would say you need 75 gallons to keep 1 happy and healthy but the choice is yours to make. I have a blue hippo and he is a beautiful fish and does fine. He...

The live sand seems to be most peoples preference as it is mine. I started with crushed coral and changed to sand. How high is your temp getting?

Hard to answer when you didn't post your water parameters, stock list, tank size, ect.

Melody, you should stay away from the anemones for a while, 6 months or so. They requir prestine water and that will be hard to achieve at first. Probably the best fish advise comes from LION. He has helped me and alot of others. It sucks looking at an empty tank but its the right thing to do so...

That would be for each.

I think you have a tank full and I would add 50 to 75 pounds of live rock for the load you got. I no thats not the answer you are looking for but when all these fish hit maturity you will be full up.

How high are your trates? The diatom is normal at this stage, ugly but normal.

The cal. is a little low and the trates are a little high but its sounding good. As far as the anemone they really require an established system, like 6 months in or so. They will not like the trates and will be hard to keep with any fluctiation in water qualitity. Think I would hold off for a...

Black and white percs would be the easiest and a carpet anemone would be their first choice.

My fish also look different after lights out but thats normal. By no means should you have your day time lights on at night. You probably should have a timer that way the fish have a natural day, I would not turn on your tank lights after dark.

Sounds like a good start. 1 to 1.5 pounds per gallon.

What size tank? occupants?

Overfeeding

Nice!

I concure the tangs are not a good idea. They are free swimmers and need alot of room and alot of rock work to swim around but you have to make your own call. If you do get 1 wait a good while so the tank is established and you stand a better chance. No anemones right off the bat. They require...
