    fishhies!! :] new 55gal

    Do u plan on having a refugium? I ask because the mandarin dragonette needs live copepods to thrive and a refugium will provide a safe place for their natural food to propagate. U can try to get it to eat frozen food but not to many ppl have success with that. If u have to have a tang. Try Gettn...

    Aiptasia

    Oh one more thing. Do not smash or try to cut it off. That won't work and will only spread them

    Aiptasia

    I use a chemical called Aiptasia-x made by Red Sea. It works well for me. Peppermint shrimp also eats Aiptasia but I don't like the idea of using live animals to fix problems.

    Is it possible to have a reef tank look like this? What do I need?

    To answer ur question on salt. I like to use Oceanic Salt. It's high in calcium so I never needed to dose my reef tank. About the lights. U have Daylight. Actinic and moonlights(LED). Moons lights- I keep on 24/7. Day lights- I keep on 7 hrs. Actinics- I keep n 9 hrs. Daylight and actinics are...

    Is it possible to have a reef tank look like this? What do I need?

    Definitely achievable in a 29g bio cube, but the margin for error will be much less compared to a large reef tank. So take ur time and research. Nothing good happens fast in this hobby. Especially In a nano tank. With the research and development in this hobby growing so fast. They are making it...

    How do we know this?

    It's like the desperate housewife gossips.. Information gets passed on from one hobbyist to the next. It's just what we've read and heard from others who are in the hobby. Of course we dont want to pass on wrong info, so we just keep repeating what were told or read. I myself kept a Scopas tang...

    Newbie needs help!

    I ran a 30g dwarf lion fish tank for about a year with no problems. All I had for filtration was 40lbs live rock and a refugium with macro algae in second chamber and a sponge in the first chamber. I had a fuzzy dwarf lion fish , fu man chu lion fish and red angler. All messy eaters and I had...

    Newbie needs help!

    Yeah u can do a HOB filter or a HOB protein skimmer. HOB filters u can look at Aqua clear 50. They are about $30-$50. Comes with a pump and filter media. U can use the media it comes with or u can put Macro algae and attach a mini led light on top of it. Lots of brands when it comes to skimmers...

    20g long build post

    Nice tank so far, but I agree with snake. Take it slow and I would invest in a better light fixture soon. Anenome need lots of lights, stable water parameters and an establish tank of at least six months.

    Stocking a 40 Gallon Tank

    Honestly I wouldn't do it. Tank to small. But if u have to, stay away from large clowns like Maroon or Tomato clowns. Try to add them all at once. As for anemones. I'm not to sure. I've never kept one so I don't have any personal experience. I know that u need a bright light, perfect water...
