Randy's on Hwy 26 is great. Do you guys never go to Pet Village? They are very good. The guy that runs Saltwater Paradise is a jerk and they are way over priced.

I live in Euless too! Small world. I get my fish and supplies from Pet Village in Duncanville or a new place on Grapevine Hwy in NRH. Thanks for all the help guys

I'm in DFW. Thanks for your help. So you think 2 emperor 400 for a 55 gallon with a skimmer is enough?

I appreciate the replies. That's just it, you know more than I. I want a good way to get my feet wet with minimal loss. I do have a sump and I can get any kind of lighting. This is why I asked. What is easiest to begin with? Is that still too broad?:confused:

I am getting my new tank this week and want to turn my old tank, a 55 gallon, into a reef tank. What should be the first things that I do to get things going and what would you guys consider essentials in having a reef tank?

Does anyone else's puffer try to fight his reflection? He stresses himself out trying to kick his own butt! I turn the lights off when he does this but what about when I am not home? Any suggestions?

How do you lower nitrate levels?

Ok, I have CC right now and clean it with every water change. I am getting the new tank within the next couple of weeks and would like some opinions or tips. I am going to go with sand in the new tank and would like to know how you go about vacuuming it. Or do you? Will the clean up crew pretty...

Mine does that on occasion, mostly if he's hungry

don't your fish eat the worms?

Well, before I knew better, I treated my tank with copper. Instead of moving the fish to a qt, but I could never get rid of the ammonia. Anyways, I know alot more now and I just want to hear what everyone else has had luck with.

I have crushed coral and want to go back to a sand bottom. I have heard that the crushed coral breeds algae and what not, but I also had a bad experience with sand one time. That's why I got rid of it. Let me hear some of your thoughts on this. It is a 55 gallon with a panther grouper, lion, and...
