    put a tight piece of dried coral or barnacles in the tank and see if the make home. If they do like mine did, they will defend it.

    yellow tang losing color

    A helping of broccoli will cure all vitamin deficiencies. Not a long term cure because it gets messy but you'll be amazed with the color change of the fish after a week of eating some greens.

    Is there something wrong with my hippo tang?

    I agree 100% with big Dave. More veggies! Seaweed selects are excellent but first for a few days I would but in a small piece of broccoli and let the tang eat the flowerets off.

    To Air or Not to Air, that is the Question!

    Even if you have a million power heads circulating your tank, the best thing you can do for your tank is to have one power head break the water surface tension on top. Putting a little bubbles in won't hurt but sometimes the fish have trouble distinguishing food from air if it's too much.

    To protein skim or not?

    Definately skim after the cycle. I have a Prizm for an 80 gal tank and it works fine. It maybe a little under skimmed but my water quality is fine so I haven't worried about it much.

    reef tank safe @ 80 degrees?

    Hey gabbysreef, what ever you do, DON'T cut the back out. It will not make your temp go down much. Heat rises as we all know and will just only seep out the side. Best bet is to get a fan. When i put my metals on, I installed a fan in the canopy and the water temp didn't raise a single...

    two types of tangs ?

    I've got a yellow, purple, hippo, and powder blue tang all in an 80g tank. At first, when each one of them was introduced, they were outcasted by the others for a day or two. Now, they all live in harmony and actually pal-o-round together. I just made sure each has it's own hiding place in the...
