    Cycling with damsels?

    Well, actually you can cycle with tangs, cause when they die they will be like a cocktail shrimp, but that's extremely cruel. Is it okay to feed SW fish FW fish? And whats the hardiest fish out their? Also, yes, I've seen MANY saltwater feeder fish. I can't believe you havnt! it's advisable to...

    Cycling with damsels?

    I don't think that he knew that feeders were FW, because he must have read about people feeding them to their lions... idk though. Clowns aren't that much more sensitive than damsels, clowns are technically damsels . If you cycled your tank with a tang... well then you aren't going to get done...

    Cycling with damsels?

    A CUC is a "clean up crew" (video below) clownfish are much more sensitive than damsels and tangs are MUCH, MUCH more sensitive. What feeder fish are you referring to? I've never seen SW feeder fish. http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=related&v=fiYSG2hrbeg#

    Please need help picking buddy for large Foxface..

    Chevrons get pretty ugly when they grow up. Also for other fish suggestions no tank is really complete without atleast one goby or blenny. A goby pistol shrimp pair would be nice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=PEzzYUEbsi4

    Fresh to salt 29 gal.

    I thought I was going to be watching a SW tank video.  Oh well.  Your title on the video says 75g upgrade.  All I saw as a 29g fresh water setup.  Looked good BTW.  It will be nicer once its converted to salt.  Keep up the good work.  Yeah I was gonna upgrade but I decided not to. Also I'm sorry...

    Found, but I'm only a little happy!

    We added a seagrass wrasse two months ago, and about 2-3 weeks ago it failed to emerge from the sand, so we assumed it was decaying somewhere under the substrate.  Two days ago we added a yellowfin flasher wrasse (we love wrasses), and it disappeared quickly, and hasn't been seen since.  I was...

    FINAL STOCK LIST

    you are correct the hawk will pick on them if anything take out the hawk and just put one barnicle bleeny because you will probably have other algea eaters and that won't leave enough for the 3 blennies Barnacle blennies are actually carnivores and don't have true ability to eat algae like most...

    I would say dont buy for what you want buy for what you have. Plan on the system you have which is 90 gallons, when you buy and set up a larger system then add. Even though you plan on upgrading in the future you dont know when it is no need to cramp fish and have issue when it is not necessary...

    FINAL STOCK LIST

    IMO you are still overstocked. If you are planning to go with a reef system that is a huge bioload with what you have listed. You also need to consider the aggressive nature of those Tangs, they require a lot of swimming space and will be territorial. I say go with one. Also Anthias prefer to be...

    herbivores dying

    There is some green hair algae on a few rocks...  We did have a bad problem, meaning on every rock, but its 95% gone.  The tank looks great, we are happy with the appearance, just so frustrated because we would like to have a angel and a tang. We tried 2 different coral beauties with no luck...
