Smallest tank I had is my 5 gal reef.

Most of the time I just let mine scavenge around but I will feed them a peice of the green seaweed selects occasionally. They seem to like that pretty well.

lol, interesting choice of words, "right above his wings" Anyway sounds like ich to me. Ich only comes in one "form', small white dots that look like grains of sand or salt. Is this what it looks like?

I agree, Instant Ocean. A lot of people use it.

Sometimes they do sometimes they don't, just depends on the fish. I have had a CB with a few soft corals before and he never bothered them but I have heard of other people who have problems withe their CB eating corals. The CB doesn't eat the corals as much as other angels IMO.

Probably about the same time it would take if you used damsels, maybe not as long. The average cycling time is about 1-2 months.

Probably for that size tank like 5 or 6. There is an easier way than damsels. You can use raw shrimp from the grocery store, this will cycle your tank fine and you don't have to use damsels.

Turn it into a nano :D Its not too small to be a hospital tank, as long as you only keep small fish.

I work at am LFS to and also get free premixed salt water. Better than paying 80 cents a gallon for it.:p

Petfish.net I would say is the best that I have found, they have a lot of forums, like I think 23, about all different kinds of FW stuff. They do have a SW forum to.

Clownfish, very hardy, colorful and inexpensive. Firefish are good beginner fish, a bit shy though. I also like royal grammas, very colorful and a good communuty fish. If you get anything like scooter blennies or something like that you are definitely gonna need some substrate. Also the...

My percs always liked the sebea anemones the best. I had a few different anemones but they always just went in the sebea.

Clownfish:D

Sometimes it just takes fish longer to adjust, but a week is kinda a long time for hiim to not eat yet, anyway I feed my false percs: Live brine Frozen brine sea weed selects zooplankton Marine flake food Marine sinking pellets bloodworms They seem to love the blood worms the best ;)

I have heard that as well, all fish carry ich. If you have like a large temperature change or the fish just get stressed out then that could bring out that ich. Don't know exactly how long it takes for the ich to cycle on the fish but I would say about 2 weeks, JMO.

I would say the best snails for cleaning the sand would be trochus snails/mexican snails. Get more hermit crabs they do a good job in cleaning sand too.

I would also say wait. If you rush into buying fish chances are you will have problems. Its best to wait till your cycle is through. I know is hard to be patient, but its best for your fish.

Well its not like really important it just makes the rock look a lot prettier, most of the algae on the rock is coraline, if there was no coraline you have a plain lookin rock.

Do you have a hospital tank? I would ditch the medication and do hyposalinity. Lowering the salinity level to where ich can;t live. Its safe for the fish and the most effective way to get rid of ich IMO. But it has to be done in a hospital tank because inverts and stuff can't live in hypo...

Anemones can be very difficult to keep alive, they need just the right conditions, a couple questions. How old is your tank? What are your water parameters? and what is your lighting like? Also if the clown is tank raised he probably won't go in the anemone, most tank raised clowns won't go...
