    New Salt Water System

    Prepare yourself because it is pretty darn expensive. We have a 44 gallon reef tank and a 10 gallon fish only tank. The reef tanks tend to be more expensive. To give you a low ball estimate on how much we've spent....about 1,000 for everything including the live rock, live sand, filter...

    Puffers?

    Has anyone tried to put a Hawaiin Spotted Puffer or Valentini Puffer in a reef system tank? With shrimp? I've read that they are "reef safe, but moniter with shrimp" but I was just wondering if anyone has any personal experience. I love puffers but have a cleaner shrimp and a couple corals and...

    what does it mean by, diet: meaty

    I was wondering that too. Also, if it says to feed raw fish meat, is there a kind in particular to use, or do we just go to the grocery store and buy raw fish?? It doesnt seem like we should, but you never know.

    food for our mandarin

    Hi! I am new to this site and relatively new to the hobby, and so I have a few questions. First, we have a spotted mandarin goby, which we now know probably isnt a good situation for a new tank. (The tank is 44 gallons) When we bought it, we were told he was just a grazer and that it would be...
