    My DIY plywood tank journal

    looking good so far. i cant wait to see how it turns out just wondering, would it be possible to plump your tank through the back wall of the tank with bulkhead fittings? the overflow box can be a pain in the neck, esp if you loose the siphon.

    Help me stock my new Christmas gift!!

    instead of a yellow tang, look at a kole tang. they tend to stay the smallest out of the tangs. a yellow in a 55 can turn very aggressive towards new fish or even established fish. look also at hawfish. if you want active fish, get a school of green chromis. very active, inexpensive, colorful...

    60 Gallon Question

    a niger can be kinda iffy, as with most triggers. but for the most part they tend to go alright with clowns. the yellow tailed damsels also can be aggressive, they are a damsel fish. here are some other choices that will go well with a clown: green chromis (at least 6 though, and the school...
