When Salt Water fish.com says that "They are voracious algae eaters." What type of algae are they talking about? Is it green or red hair or that red stuff that grows on the glass? I have a Powder Brown Tang in a 250 gal tank. With about 225 lbs of rockwork. Any help would be nice. Photos would...

That is what we are planning. We found a couple butterflies and maybe and angel. Have to make sure that they are size compatible with the Vlamingi though. I want to make sure everything has enough room to grow. Sorry this was a follow up to the rock looking really good for large fish such as...

Hey we were wondering about that also.....how does the glue work? Is it going to cause problems if we need to move the rock for whatever purpose? or does it come off pretty easy?

Here are a few pics. We think this is how we will be leaving the rock. We sort of combined all of the pics and ideas you guys gave us. Let us know what you think. We have about 230lbs of rock now. We will add more, for filtration purposes, eventually. Have to go kind of slow though.

Yes we do have a 4yr old son. He doesn't really care too much about the tanks right now. He is really only interested when we go to the fish store or get new fish. He likes to look but I don't think he really understands what we are creating in our home when we give the fish homes. He will...

No I am sure that it is 18" not cm. The largest recorded is 36" and it is not recommended that you put a Vlamingi Tang in a tank smaller than 7 feet. So as Airforceb2 said hence the big tank. I can't wait to see how big he really gets though!

Thank you guys for all of the replies! We are working on getting some more rock so it is not so barren but are taking it a little slow so we can find pieces that we like. Also, as for the shelving, we screwed them into the studs, not into the drywall. Plus the brackets hold 500lbs. each (x 6) so...

We are looking for ideas on how to stack our rock in our new 250 Gal tank. We have 155 lb of live rock and 50 lb of lace rock for a base. These pitchers are a little foggy due to adding sand but I will post more tonight. On top we have two refuge's one 20 gal (right) and one 30 gal (left)...

Thank so much for the advice. We probably are going to get a bigger tank for the refugium. We were talking about that last night after posting and just didn't think a 30 would be big enough. We will check out the other thread that was suggested. Thanks!

We are just beginning setting up a 250gal (currently empty). We want to do a sump and a refugium but need some guidance. Can anyone give us some advice? We know we want the sump under the tank inside the stand. The inside measurement are 13"W x 80"L x 20"H. We have plenty of room we just don't...

Thanks for the advice. I was asking about fish only because I want to do research and make the right choices. I am pretty sure we are going to do a sand bed. Even though we have discussed doing a FO I am sure my husband will change his mind. I will probably change mine too. But just so we know...

Thank for the info msd2.

Hi, I would appreciate some suggestions. We are setting up a new 250gal tank. We want to do fish only with live rock and have more bold but not exactly aggressive fish. We have had a 55gal salt water and thought we were doing really good however I have found some things on this site I never new...

I looked at these crabs and did some research. I also heard that they do not need to have the anemone to survive and it is mostly a defense tactic. He should be okay without them. :D

I have had a green serpent star for almost a year. He has done really well and I can't say that I have noticed any aggresive behavior. Is this a really common trait and I just got a wierd one? I am kind of concerned now although everything seems to be fine and I haven't had any problems with my...
