Anyone heard anything about this fish? The scientific name is Acanthurus Nubilus. I have searched online and can't find much of anything. My LFS has one coming in, and the fact that they are rare interests me. Any help would be great. Jason

Whats up everyone? I just upgraded to a new 240 gallon FOWLR, and now I need ideas for my 135 that is just begging to be filled. So far I am playing with the following ideas... Fresh water stingrays and arowana's or Saltwater eels and maybe a large predator or two. I'm sure I know which way...

I am setting up a new 240 gallon FOWLR. What type of lighting should I use on this. Standard fluorescents, T5's, power compacts or what? I hear the PC's are limited in bulb selection and can cause an algae problem. What does everyone think? Thanks for your help.

I am trying to decide on a pump for the return on my new 240 gallon. Should I used a submersible or external? It will need to push roughly 1000-1200 gph at 5ft of head and about 8 total feet of horizontal piping. Thanks for your help.

I have what appears to be hundreds of tiny snails growing on the glass, filters etc of my tank. Has anyone else experienced this? The larger ones, when viewed up close, appear to be spiral in shape. When I use the algae scrubber on them they are hard, almost like coraline algea on the glass...

Whats up everyone? I am looking to add possibly a large angel down the road and my LFS told me to put a uv sterilizer on the tank. I've read plenty of opinions when it comes to reef tanks, but what about for FOWLR? Is this really neccessary? Thanks for the help.

Ok, I haven't had a salt tank in a couple of years, and it seems that alot of the common practices have changed! My tank is 135 gallons with a wet/dry rated for up to 250g's with a Kent Nautilus T/E skimmer. 3 powerheads in tank as well as an emperor 400. I have 90lbs of aragonite sand plus...
