how about a striped dogface? I'm guessing its the same thing with a different pattern?

yeah I'm going to keep an eye on the niger but I like the lion more so if anything happens the niger will have to go. Which puffer would be the least likely to bother the lion? The person that sold me the tank had a dogface and a volitan for 2+ years together.

yeah I always liked the flame angels but I think they are a little over priced for what they are. That's the only cool red fish I can think of though. On a side note, my lion is already eating frozen krill after being in the QT for only 2hrs!!!

yeah I was thinking about a yellow tang but I don't know if I want any more yellow in the tank with the bicolor angel. maybe something red or orange?

well I took everyone's advice and picked up a volitan today. Got a smoking deal and he is already eating frozen!

So I set up a 95G wavefront with a 29G sump as a FOWLR tank and I need some ideas for stocking. The fish I am listing are not actually what I plan on putting in there, just a list of possible fish I would like to have. All ideas are welcomed. Niger trigger (already in there) Bicolor angel (in...

don't try the reef safe meds. I tried rid-ich one time and its a joke. or maybe it was kick-ich. I can't remember.

I had a dwarf puffer (toby) in a 55 and he did well. was thinking about doing a dwarf lion as well but I upgraded tank instead.

sorry to bump and old thread but i need to replace mine too and can't seem to find them.

yeah I'm not thinking about leaving the nitrates there long-term. My QT is a little overcrowded so I wanted to start putting a fish or two in DT. Eventually I'll try to get the nitrates back down to at least under 40. Will it be OK then?

OK I did 50 gallons today and the nitrates dropped to 160. If I do another 50 tomorrow, will it decrease by 50% (roughly)? What is a safe nitrate level for fish? I heard some FOWLR tanks have 80ppm nitrates without any effects and I know some books written by experts state that its not...

how long does it usually take for the nitrates to lower using macro? I put in about 2 generous double-handfulls. Would doing a 50% water change send the tank through a cycle?

thats what I was thinking too. I still have to do a few water changes because when i got the tank the SG was 1.016 so I'm bringing it back up little by little. Any idea on what/how much macro to get? I heard about cheato and some other type but don't know what is recommended.

Yeah I basically brought the whole tank home the way it was set up with all of the LR, LS and water. I have only changed out about 20% of the water and the new water had 0 nitrates. (or unmeasureable)

So I just bought a 95G Wavefront with a 30G sump, 150lbs of LR and 100lbs LS. The tank has been running for 3+ years and I brought all the water home with me (about 80%). The thing with this tank is that the sump broke a few months ago so it has been running with the protein skimmer only...

I decided to use the coppersafe stuff and the ich is disappearing as usual and the dull spots went away (I think it might have been stress or something). It doesn't look like he has any HLLE but the mouth issue is what is bothering me. I heard tangs and angels tear up their mouths when grazing...

My brother just brought his Kole Tang over to my house to put him in my HT so I can treat him for ICH but when he got here he looked a little more beat up. I'm not totally sure but it looks like his mouth has something funky going on and he also has some blotchy/discolored spots on him. Any...

I'm kinda a newbie but I think your levels are kinda bad.

I love the commercial in the background. WABBITTS!!!
