    So, New tank......

    Whoa! that's a big change. My boyfriend would be so jealous of your tank. We're starting with a 90 gal FOWLR, and he wants to go reef already. Do you quarantine, or do you just ask the LFS to hold them for a little while? Keep posting - This is very encouraging, and wonderful to see!

    New Setup and how it is going

    I'm new as well, but everything I've read has said it'll take approximately a month, sometimes longer for the tank to cycle. That ammonia has to drop to zero before you want any fish in there, according to various forums and the Saltwater book for dummies (My current read! lol) I think it's...

    That's fascinating. Any idea what specific levels the macro affected, to cause such a difference?

    yellow tangs

    Don't want to hijack the thread, but I love the way these fish look. Could I put one in a 90 gal tank? I'm currently trying to develop a list of peaceful, reef compatible livestock that are fairly hardy. I've been leaning away from tangs because of the ich factor, and because I'm not sure...

    Best fish selection for FOWLR Tank beginner?

    I haven't forgotten about that! I was looking for one just the other day. I was talking to the local fish store, and they (one of the employees) said to put a piece of copper in the water, because it'll kill off a lot of parasites, pathogens, etc. I thought that this was a big no-no. As in...

    Best fish selection for FOWLR Tank beginner?

    Thank you! Do you have any other fish suggestions? Will a mesh top impact the lighting of the aquarium? I'm pretty sure I can get some screen mesh like you use for windows and just make a top out of that. Would that work? I was just looking over in the new hobby forum about the...

    Best fish selection for FOWLR Tank beginner?

    We have a 90 gal tank that we're in the process of setting up, so this is a little premature, but I'm just trying to get some research done. I was wondering what the best fish would be for this tank. We are beginners, so we're trying to keep to relatively hardy fish, with peaceful...
