Please, don't listen to him! Save that little tank for a sump, or better yet, a betta! C'mon, everybody likes bettas!

I wouldn't worry about the high KH. My tank has an even higher rating (I think that was how it went) and I'm okay.

Remove offending filtration, add a deep sand bed or nitrate binder. LB

Yes it does grow in tanks, with live rock. And no, corals and anemones don't need to eat it.

Why won't it let me say e-B-a-y? Damn trademark s###.

Link doesn't work. Go to *Link Removed* and search Power Compact Aquarium. If it doesn't show up, tell me.

Remember, experts only! I'm speaking for the fish here, not for my self! :happyfish

Deep sand beds are an excellent choice for a refugium. They are a good housing for critters (small as they must be) and an excellent housing for the 3rd stage of biological denitrification. These bacteria remove nitrates from the water, which would otherwise only be done with water changes...

Do you have sufficient lighting? Based on statistics, probably not. Give it frozen prawns. As for a host, a Clark's Banded Clown is your best bet.

Yes. You could probably keep anything except for anemones and SPS. Be careful, take it slow.

Well, I have seen anemones kept under less watts than you have. Take it easy, start with leathers and mushrooms, then upgrade your lights.

Make sure that it is eating. Watchman gobies have a tendency to starve in the land of plenty. Also, these animals require a reef environment and are happier with their natural symbionts, pistol shrimp. Tanks as small as 5 gallons are for experts only. I repeat; EXPERTS ONLY. Chances are, if you...

If you are desperate to do this, you might be able to squeeze a 2'' goby in there. But for a less cruel option, you could instead make a tank for invertebrates such as dwarf hermits, snails, zoanthid polyps, and the like. -L.B.

You might have luck in a 55. Let's hope they are not very expensive. Cherubs may be the smallest of the angels, but they are super-aggressive. If I were you, I would try to pair clown-fish if you must pair something. -L.B.

It is possible to keep a 5-gallon tank going. However, this size falls under the "pico" reef category, and they are extremely difficult to keep. Really, a 5-gallon is more of a flowerpot. Get flowers.

Definetly an Ocellaris. From what I know, Clowns are rearely female when imported or bred, or at least I have never had any bad luck with them. Also, Ocellaris's have been documented breeding with Percula's, but the results aren't very impressive.
