    How old is your tank?

    I've had my 55 gal. up and running for 2 yrs. I have had great success with my water as well as my livestock. I believe this is due to my caution, and research. I only have a clown, yellow tail damsel, and false-eye puffer. Though it has been hard to resist the many beautiful fish, I've held off...

    How vital is R/O water?

    Thanx everyone for your opinions. There is a local grocery store nearby my house that provides R/O water, and I think I am headed there very soon. So do you guys bring 5 gal buckets in and fill them up or do you have to buy them in 1 gal jugs? Thanx again!!

    Freshwater dips-helpful or harsh?

    The other day while at my LFS, I overheard two people arguing about Freshwater dips and if they are effective. I didn't get to hear the conclusion, so what do you guys think. I've never had to do this before, I wonder if it is an effective treatment?

BUT, seeing as I am so careful about adding more fish, I have decided to put a thread out to gather any last info. on these splendid fish before...

    Flame Angle or Yellow Tang-who goes in first?

    You guys are the best!! Heavenly Damsel- I don't know if this is gonna do it for my tank!? Do you or anyone else think I could do more than the clown, damsel, puffer, angle and tang, or should this be sufficient? If I did add another it would be my next fish in, followed by the flame angle and...

    Flame Angle or Yellow Tang-who goes in first?

    -K- Cool! Do ya think I should add the Yellow Tang shortly after the Flame Angle, so it doesn't take complete control over my tank before the Tang gets there? OR Will the Tang be able to hold his own? WHAT DO YA THINK?? By the way thanx a bunch for your input!!

    Flame Angle or Yellow Tang-who goes in first?

    In a previous thread, I mentiond I was considering a Flame Angle and a Yellow Tang. The question is, who would go in first? It seems to be a very controversal topic. I would greatly appreciate anybody's opinions or experiences on the subject! Thanx, you guys are so helpful!!

    I like you and your opinions, give um to me!

    I know choosing fish is totally personal perference, but I'd love some new opinions! I would like to know if it would be wise to add a yellow tang and a flame angle to my system down the road (not @ the same time of course). If it's O.K., which first? I have been very careful about adding my...

    Here fishy, fishy!

    A false eye puffer also goes by sharpnose puffer, It is very detailed with whiteish, blue stripes, making him look painted. And above his dorsal fin, on both sides of his body, there is a small black patch which looks like an eye (hence the name). Great personallity and very cute. His name...

    Here fishy, fishy!

    I asked before about adding a yellow tang or a threadfin butterfly to my 55 gal set up, which didn't seem to be a good idea. *just a reminder I have a clown,damsel,and false-eye puffer, and my tank has been set up for nearly 2 years.* I know I want a flame angel for my last fish, but what would...
