In a 90, you could keep a flagfin, majestic, or regal, or any of the "smaller" large angels, but in a 180, you can keep any of them, except for the Grey, French, Queen, Rock Beauty, etc that get huge. Those would be far too cramped in a 180, full grown. They'd need somewhere in the 500 gallon...

Yup...Serulanid (sp???) worms. Beneficial..nothing to worry about.

...Interesting debate. VERY interesting debate. Nate, I looked into what you said, and you are correct. Excellent, excellent job on your research. To a point, however, from what I read..some do swim more than others. I still don't think I'd put a yellow tang in a 55, but a kole, tomini, either...

Nope..no snowflake, but if you have 300-700 bucks to spend, you could look into a Yellow Dwarf Moray. Pretty much, for a 29..you could do a dwarf lion and a dwarf puffer, but that'd be it.

alot..really doesn't help. Clams, in general, require about 5-8 watts per gallon of proper MH lighting.

Originally Posted by MACJMC I am looking at turning my 29 gal standard into a reef tank. The only question is on lighting. For this tank would a 175 watt MH work well and allow me to get virtually any corals I would like? Thanks for the input! Mike I'd do a 150 watt DE halide. If you're talking...

Originally Posted by NateP206 minimum tank size Minimum tank size, not recommended tank size. Minimum tank size for a yellow tang, could probably be said to be a 40 gallon. Now, any one who does their research, and actually cares about the well-being of their fish, would put it in nothing...

In a 125, I would do 2 snowflakes, if you're looking to do mulitple eels. All the others pretty much would require a 125+ alone. Just be sure to add the 2 snowflakes at the same time, to reduce the chance for aggression.

Yes...preferably 3-4 times per day. However, I noticed in another thread you were looking at Purple Queens. These are THE hardest of the anthias to keep. They almost never last longer that 2 weeks in the average aquarium. Look into some Bartlett Anthias. They're just as pretty, IMO, stay...

Originally Posted by fishieness you tool, you cant vote for yourself I know..I just wanted to see if anybody would respond. I pick 17. FYI, Fanker, your list has Fedukeford and JJJoey both as 16, so I made Joey 17.

Truthfully, your only two options, are to either get A/C for the room that your tank is in, or to get a dehumidifier. The A/C would be a better solution though, and probably cheaper.

Okay..how about instead of people telling him what he can't do..how bout we tell him what he CAN do!! Instead of the Hippo Tang, I'd do some kind of dwarf angel. Instead of the volitan, I'd do a dwarf lion. Instead of the porcupine, I'd do a toby puffer (valentini, or blue spotted). Instead of...

Originally Posted by fishieness you are going to want to let your tank mature a heck of a lot more than that. and also, IMO, get more light COME ON YOUNG PEEPS! ONLY 4 MORE DAYS!!

I remember when this happened. I think this says it all, IMO: https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/156900/fire-at-home-tank-put-out-fire
