    JR you seem like a nice kid with great aspiration's but listen when I am telling you. You will get much further in life if you listen and pay attention to your elders. I don't know if you really can afford a 10,000 gallon tank. ( I have been to your hometown and there are for sure people who...

    Starting reef

    make the 55 a nice little reef and get a 125 or 150 for the lion tang eel and what ever other aggressive fish you want. The tang needs 6 feet swimming room anyway. The 55 will make a nice reef and stock it with a few small basslets or reef safe wrasse. thats what I did. the 75 is a full...

    I have found you can use the hydrometer you have to make sure all of the bubbles are off of the float. I have tested a coralife against a refractometer and as long as the bubbles are gone the hydrometer is right on. If you can't get the refractometer now at least have the LFS check you SG as well.

    After placing new water in the tank just test and make sure all is good and you should be good to go. I would at least add the water though your hob filter less diturbance this way. Thats what I do in my 15 gal. I would get rid of all of the damsels. He will be fine with LMB. Also unless...

    cool I know what you mean about sticker shock on LR it's crazy expensive in most places. I have seen it for 2.50 a pound on some websites though. I can't even think about the money we spend. I just look at this way. Me and my boys 2years and 9 months old as well as my wife enjoy the tanks...

    big fish??

    Haven't ever seen one but they do exsist. Try and find a gold damsel They will be aggressive enough to hang with the GSM and they get to like 6 inches. Maybe a dom damsel as well. these fish get to 6 inches and are a solid black fish. You need to look for aggressive fish at least semi...

    looking good man. Are you going FOWLR or are you going to try and do a reef setup? If you are doing the Reef may look into finding some older tanks in the area that have been up for awhile and see about getting some good cured lr. I bought a 135 with corals and all for 1000 and sold the tank...
