once again i did not jump in without research. i went to an aquarium store with 5000 square feet of fish tanks and trusted what the OWNER told me. this is me getting taken advantage of, not me doing no research. never in a billion years would i have thought that the owner of a fish store...

i think im going to just return everything. this is nothing but a huge disappointment. and no, i don't like those clowns particularly in the least. nothing about this seems worth it unless i spent even MORE money. one would think a 40 gallon tank would have plenty of great fish options, but...

so then my tank would be..... Coral Beauty Angelfish Saddle Valentini Puffer Yellow Stripe Maroon Clown x2 or the fish you listed, of which none of them excite me in the very least. and this is worth over $1000?

ok so.. Coral Beauty Angelfish Fu Manchu Lionfish? (I'm assuming he will not be able to exist in this tank) Saddle Valentini Puffer Yellow Stripe Maroon Clown x2 Pygmy Yellowtail Angelfish seems my tank may be a bit bare? if i get a small fu manchu and he progresses at the same growth as the...

the chest of drawers is handling the weight just fine, it has 30 lbs of live rock and 40 gal of water already in it. what is an HOB skimmer? as for the fish, i think that list i recently posted is what i'd like to do, but not sure of the compatibility: Coral Beauty Angelfish Fu Manchu...

I have the Eheim Professional II 2026 canister filter. For aquariums to 92gal 251gph Delivery head 6.7ft Power consumption 25w Filter volume 1.3gal Dimensions 8.5 x 8.5 x 14.5"h Tubing 594 (5/8")(16mm) in x 494 (½")(12mm) out

i cant build or buy a stand. i have no room. i live 6 blocks from the beach with two other guys, all i have is my room for this stuff, which involves enough space for only a tank and the canister filter. a stand is out of the question, unfortunately. =/ my tank is on my chest of drawers...

a sump would be a separate tank, would it not? i do not have a stand and have no place for a separate tank. what about my canister filter plus a protein skimmer? would that suffice?

so here's what im thinking, now that i've accepted the fact that im not getting what i originally wanted. tell me your thoughts on this combo, and note that they are listed in terms of preference, the top being my favorite: Coral Beauty Angelfish Fu Manchu Lionfish? (I'm assuming he will not...

this situation. it is a travesty.

what a travesty. i have the eheim professional II. should i try and return this and go with something else? i am beyond confused at this point, as it seems everything i learned from mr. fish expert at the store is null and void. i feel like the first time i bought a car. also, i have come to...

i would agree with you See Money, if i didnt have the option to return everything. in my opinion the amount of learning required to correctly run a 40 gal tank as compared to a 100 gal tank is not a huge amount. if i am going to mess up im going to mess up. no point doing it on my 40 gal and...

Alright, so basically I went to my two local fish stores and told them the fish I wanted. I originally wanted a lionfish, a puffer, and an eel. I then started leaning towards an angel, butterfly, tang, green mandarin, and a few inverts. Long story short is my 40 gal tank is too small for...

i just bought the tank and i still have the receipt. i can most certainly return it or i will raise hell. im in sales so i can usually sway people. so here's my current situation: - 30 lbs of live rock - i can keep this in my old 20 gal tank temporarily, with live sand and saltwater - 40 gal...

im thoroughly considering returning all of my stuff and starting over. i dont feel like it is worth it to do all of this and then end up with boring fish. i'd like to buy a tank that will fit on the current surface i have available which is 32 x 19 inches. if i were to get a 75 gal or 100 gal...

i guess im just pissed because the local fish stores, two in fact, both told me these fish would have plenty of room in a 40 gal. and that goes for my first combination as well. now i am suddenly being told that my tank is not only small, but REALLY small, and that all of the fish i want...

yes this is my first SW tank, but im not putting in lame fish. i am a smart guy and will do the proper research prior to putting in any delicate fish. i certainly didnt drop ~$1000 to put in a couple of nemo fish and some boring shrimp. if i wanted bland fish i'd have stuck with fresh water...

you're telling me 40 gallons can't hold a mandarin, an angelfish, a butterfly, a cardinal, a tang, and a lobster? maybe i should take out the cardinal or the angel?

I'm talking about down the line. I'm not talking about my starter fish to get the tank ready.
