Does anyone have any advice on the best lighting for growth on live rock? I bought a 90 gallon tank from a neighbor with tank stand and lights for 300. everything is wroking great and my tank has been running for 6 months clean as a whistle, but i dont have as much growth on my rocks as I would...

I love him - slippery pete - he has so much personality so I dont want to get rid of him, but he is a pest.

i have a 90 gallon salt water with 100 lbs live sand and 75 lbs live rock. i have had a yellow tang and 2 clowns in there for about 6 months. Yesterday I added a small dog face puffer and a bi-color parrotfish. Everyone I talked to said the fish would be fine, but the tang is so aggressive...

maybe that is what he was doing, but it was pretty funny

I like the urchins too, but havent bought one yet. Would they be safe with a yellow tang, 2 clowns, bi color parrto fish, and a small dog face puffer?

I would recommend using the Magfloat as a quick way to dispose of it in the time being.

Anyone else ever see this? My dog face puffer keeps attacking my magfloat in the tank.

i generally take the bag that the LFS puts the fish in and place it in the tank so the fish can get acclimated to the temperature for about an hour. Then I slowly drip in some water from the tank and let them sit for about an hour and then let them loose.

So i have a 90 gallon with about 40 lbs of live rock and 80 lbs of live sand. I have a fluval 405 and a powerhead. The tank cycled for about 2 months before I put any fish in and the water levels were fine. Over the course of the next 4 months I added 1 yellow tang, 2 percula clowns, a cleaner...

i added a powerhead (295 gph) to increase the water cirulcation in the tank since the fluval 405 was not providing enough circulation and the water was basically just standing still. since i added it, it seems like my fish are having a tough time adjusting to it, but they are eating better than...

in a 90 gallon i have a yellow yang, naso tang, 2 percula clowns, 14 snails, and a big cleaner shrimp. thoughts on dog face puffer compatability and hardiness?

I have a 90 gallon tank with live rock, live sand, and a few fish. I run a fluval 405 and was having some green algae problems. Based on conversations on this chatboard, I added a powerhead to increase the circulation in the tank. After a weekend of use, i can see a noticable difference in the...

Looks like I need to get a power head and see how that helps things. Rio or maxjet? What do you think? I have a 90 gallon so what should the GPH (gallons per hour) be?

No powerhead. The fluval return gives pretty good circulation. What type of powerhead do you suggest? Where should it be mounted? Should the return be under the water level or above when mounted?

I have a 90 gallon tank that has been running for 6 months. I have a cleaner shrimp, 4 medium turbo snails, 2 percula clowns, 1 yellow tang, and 1 naso tang. I recently added 5 hermit crabs and 10 small turbo snails. I seem to have alot of green algea on the sides of the tank. There isn't much...

OK. Thanks. I will probably just add more tangs and maybe an angel fish. Does anyone have particular kinds of tangs that they like?

I have a yellow tang, 2 percula clowns, 1 scooter blemy, 1 shrimp, and several turbo snails in a 90 gallon tank. Can I add a dog face puffer?

that is pretty f'd up. when i was young i had a dream that i was driving one of those little cycles that were in the movie tron in my neighborhood and causing all sorts of accidents and crazy commotion and instead of being arrested, i was approached by NASA to help them build shuttles.

So I had a dream last night that I got home from work and all my fish were dead. The funny thing was that the fish that were dead in my tank were not the fish that I actually own and appeared to be fresh water fish. Thoughts? Anyone ever dream of their fish?
