    Cleaner Clam light requirements?

    What fish to finish my tank?

    This is how I do it. Not promising success. The new tang to be introduced would be a little larger than the tang I have if he were a more docile or less territorial specie and vice a versa. I don't know much about Scopas so I can't make a recommendation on this. Add the new fish in the evening...

    Hippo Tang

    It has been highly recommended to use a hospital tank for 2 to 3 weeks for all fish especially Tangs prior to introducing to show tank. The best remedy for ******, in my experience, has been a fresh water dip.

    Hippo Tang

    I kept one for five years. I donated him to the LFS when I had to move long distance. The reputation I am familiar with is that they are susceptible to saltwater cryptocarion but are themselves resistant to death by this infestation. My experience was, to the best of my memory, that over the...

    My brother has a clown trigger and a sargassmo. The clown is a little bigger than the sargassmo. No problems. He has had success with niger and others. He does things many people can't so no guarantees involved with this response.

    How do you move a 180 gallon tank to another room in your home -need advice please !!

My brother setup a second smaller tank, as a holding tank, in another part of the house but he only needed this for...

    What fish to finish my tank?

    I have had success mixing tangs but always of different genuses. I have mixed other fish of the same specie with success but always adding them at the same time. Size of tank is important. My brother has had success mixing triggers, one of which was a Niger. He currently has 4 tangs...

    Copperband Butterfly as deterent to glass anemones?

    I have a reef tank with an open brain, brain and pearl bubble, montipora, acropora and buttons and clams. Also, numerous glass anemones. I have seen the Copperband listed as reef compatible: good, with caution and not reef compatible. Based on the several opinions I have read, they are...
