Yesterday I was told by LFS that I had to choose either corals or anemones for my aquarium. Putting both in would not work one would kill the other?? I like the looks of both, can someone shed some light on the pros/cons. Which works best? HELP!:help:

I have a 55 quarium that I purchased at Wal-mart. It came with 2 lights that holds 2 18-20"(?) long bulbs. Can I use the bulbs that I would need for corals/anemones in these fixtures? Or am I going to have to buy the whole thing? :notsure:

Just starting my cleaning crew for 50 gal FOWLR. Is there a mix of will get along/wont get along on Emerald Crabs, Blueleg Hermit Crabs, Scralet Hermit Crabs VS Turbo Snails and Pyramid Snails. I was told by the LFS that Blueleg Hermit Crabs will eat the Pyramid Snails.

Hi all! First, let me say that I have been monitoring this site for 3 weeks and want to say how impressed I am with all the knowledge. It is all your fault that I have decided to do a SW tank! (I have been wanting to do this for quite some time) I have done the first few steps and I have...
