    how much live rock?

    How many pounds of live rock do you think I should use in my 37g cubic tank? I think it's 24"x18"x21" and I don't want to fill the entire thing up so that there is no open room for the fish. And also any comments on what live rock is better if any is better? I think my choices are carribean...

    what to do with 37g?

    There is currently a beautiful 37g glass cube aquarium at the fish store with a glass top (plenty of room for lights) and I really would like to purchase it and turn it into a reef tank. I am new to saltwater tanks, but I own 2 freswhater so I'm not a complete newbie. I know that the shape of...

    possible idea for tank?

    I'm not much of a marine expert, but I could spend an hour easily lecturing about freshwater cichlids. I have the chance of purchasing a 55g tank (48"x13"x20something") and I'm trying to come up with different setups I could do with it. My main questions are: is a 55g big enough to have...

    10g nano?

    So 3 small fish won't even fit in a 10g? Two fish isn't a whole lot.. and what about the cleaner shrimp? Would there be enough room?

    10g nano?

    Now that I've been researching all day on saltwater aquariums, I'm leaning towards a 10-12g aquarium. I have to keep it small so it will fit in my dorm room. I'm thinking a royal gramma, perc clownfish, a 4 stripe damsel since they seem to be less agressive than the 3 stripe, and most likely a...

    I know clownfish live in anemones and coral. What kind of lifestyle would be best for the gramma, clownfish and possibly the damsel to be in? Also don't forget the cleaner shrimp.

    Blue tangs are really small though, only 1". Would I be able to put the blue tang, clownfish, gramma and 3 stripe damsel together? And how would the cleaner shrimp do with that?

    Oh and for size, I'm thinking maybe a nano tank, 20g at MOST. Dorm rooms just aren't big enough to have a real aquarium. Obviously, if you have any other suggestions for tanks and size, I am more than happy to hear them.

    new to saltwater!

    Hi, I'm wanting to put together a saltwater tank to have in my dorm and I'd like some help on deciding what fish, corals, inverts go best with each other. I am a huge fan of Finding Nemo and really want to have an aquarium with those fish and inverts in it but I'm not sure if they could all...
