    120 gal tank in Eastern Iowa

    Not immediately, I am in the middle of moving and am using that tank to help with the sep up the my other tank. This is going to take time because in my new house I have to finish the basement before I move my large tank in. I am thinking through the summer.

    emperor or blue face

    I got a 240 gal with a grey and a koran. Both do very well, but after seeing a french in the wild I wish I had that instead of my grey. French is now my favorite angel.

    120 gal tank in Eastern Iowa

    Yes, it is still avaliable. I need to get this entire set up sold. If you are not in the ballpark of $650, don't bother. There is too much equipment I am giving you for me to take too much of a break at this time.

    2 maroon clowns fighting, what to do?

    Sorry to say, maroons are the most aggressive clowns, and they don't like each other. My suggestion, take it back before it is too late.

    Inverts, LR, and fish with Ick. What to do?

    How do you treat a tank that has inverts and LR? I have had problems in the past and have done fresh water dips. But it won't be so easy to catch my fish in my new tank. And that wouldn't treat the tank that has ick in it. It is only a minor case of ick right now, but who knows what will...

    Lions w/ other fish

    The blue hippo tang will get too large for a 55, but the yellow tang will be ok. These are also of different genius, so if you ever do upgrade to a larger tank you could still get the blue hippo. The blue hippo isn't a good fish for a beginner, their skin if very prone to ick and other...

    I need an answer!

    The temp can not change at all when the lights are turned on and off. If he has an expensive set of lights on the tank you could try putting extra fans to move the hotter air away faster. That will keep the tank from heating up too much in the day. Although if that doesn't stabalize the temp...

    65g tank??

    I would have to disagree, I think you would have enough room. Sounds like you have plenty of filters and the fish you chose are not fish that need that much room. They are not too large and they don't need the swimming room. Choose wisely on your moray and puffer.

    I have lots of baby snails. Is this okay?

    IMO this is good. It isn't possible to get too many snails, if food runs short some will die. The natural order of the algea eaters. I have had baby turbos before, but I had problems in the tank and all the inverts died. Now I have a bunch of baby cerith snails. Feather dusters are a good...
