I have been reading up on different type of fish and have changed my possible additions to my tank. Here is my new list : Maroon Clown (already have) Naso Tang 3 - Yellow Tangs Flame angel Blue Throat Trigger Yellow Watchman or Yellow Clown Goby Neon Goby Green Mandarin - at least 6 months after...

Does your green chromis school together pretty well. I am thinking of getting some for my tank, but I've heard some say that once in their tank that they really don't stick together? What is your experience?

I am going to be running 4 250 watt MH along with around 250 watt of compacts. All are going to be retro fits in a canopy. Is it best to run the lights while I am cycling to see how the temp will be to determine if I need a chiller? If I need a chiller will I get one based on the size of the...

Thanks everyone for the replies, keep them coming. I thought about anthias, but heard they are fairly hard to keep. I am still leaning toward a Naso, but still would be open for other ideas. I like the idea of two drawf angels. A flame and something else. I like the bicolor, but may be two many...

I was at my LFS today and was talking about my options for my tank. He is probably as happy as I am ($$$$) Anyways, he said that I could keep two different types of drawf angels. I will have somewhere between 150 to 200 lbs of live rock. What do other people think of this idea?

How much water should I expect to use from my tank for a two hour acclimation process? Do I just add new saltwater to the tank afterwards and consider it a water change or will it use up that much water?

Since this site does not sell lighting I hope this ok to ask. Is the 175 MH that are selling for $80 on acution site good buy or waste of money? Also I am starting up a 165 gal tank (84Lx18Wx24H), would I need three or four. I will already have close to 300 watts of compacts that I am getting...

I woud like to see some as well

So Dogstar, you feel like the Naso tang will outgrw the tank? Is it because of the 18 inches in width? I was a little afraid of that. I do not plan on upgrading any futher. If I do not go with a Naso, any suggestions on a "SHOW" fish for my tank. One fish that will stand out in my tank. Thanks...

Dogstar Your drawing is very close except the overflow box is located at the top of the tank with the three outlet holes. I will not have the tank at my house until Monday night and then hopefully I can fiqure out how to post some pitcures of it.

I looked at the closed loop SCWD that is on melev's reef site. That is real similiar to what I would like to do. Would that design work an my larger system? Would I need to use two of the three outlet holes to create enough waterflow? What size pump would I need? Can you go too big on the pump...

I just bought a 165 gal tank and I am needing some help on how to do the plumbing on the tank. The tank is drill on the back of the tank. There is a large built in overflow in the middle that has three outlet holes. There also is three return holes. One in the upper left corner, and one in each...

I bought a 165 gal tank today :jumping: :jumping: , will go get it next week. I am wanting to know if people with experience with Naso tangs would think that one would be okay in this tank. The tank is 84" long, 18" wide, 24" tall. I am also considering the following fish as well 3 yellow tangs...

I was told 165 gal (the lady said it was 84 inches long) have you heard of a tank that length- have not heard of that size before. stand, canopy, and vho ballast and lights for $500 seems like a pretty good deal for around here. Was looking at spending $800 for a 125 gal tank and stand only

What type of paint do you use ? Do you use pvc pipe or do you have to use something more specific ?

I'm sorry if I am not doing a very good job at explaining it. I have not seen the tank, it was in the newspaper for sale and it is 4 hours away. I am trying do get some answers to questions that I am not sure about before I spend $75 in gas to go look at it. There are holes in the bottom of the...

My question is actually for the plumbing for the inside of the tank

I found a DEAL on a tank, but I have a few questons. The tank is an oceanic tank that was custom drilled, so that it does not have the overflow compartment inside the tank. I understand the process with these compartments but not sure of how this would work with a power outage. Will I need...

I am getting a 125g to 150g tank in the next month. I am wanting to try to use this tank as a new beginning and use the things that I have learned on this message board. One of which is the importance of QT for new fish. My question is what size tank do I need to QT fish such as tangs? The QT...
