    big BIG problem!

    Well. I have a 12 gallon nano cube that I bought about a year ago to make a nice, small reef setup. I invested in some fairly good rock...marshal isl, tonga, fiji, etc, a nice clean up crew and whatnot. After it cycled and I tested the water, I slowly added more snails, crabs, cleaner shrimp...

    135 Gallon

    I have an 6" lionfish with a 6" bluethroat trigger...AND a pork puffer. They all get along great. Bluethroats have a very mild attitude. You just have to put them in in the right order.

    Sand ? for FOWLR tank

    Most go with a coarser sand due to the big fish kicking it up and constantly giving you a cloudy tank. as for the deepness. i would say atleast 3 inches. More sand, more filtration. and filtration is a beautiful thing.
