    Lost 2 clownfish this morning

    The fact that you are using the same salt in other tanks with no problem is strong piece of information. So is the fact that only the 2 Clownfish died, while everything else lived. I would look to other recent events for clues, such as why the Xenia moved after the Monti was introduced. I've...

    Live Rock??

    Adding a piece of live rock will have very minimal effect as a filtration boost. You really do need the 1 to 1 1/2 Lbs of live rock per gallon to really get the benefit if biological filtration and denitrification.

    whats do you need for a aggresive set up

    If you are thinking about fish that grow BIG and swim alot, such as triggers, then the best tank size would be 6, 8, 10 or more feet long. Distance for swimming is important and more important than gallons. Go into it knowing that it's difficult to sell, return or get credit for a large fish...
