Thanks for the replys I'm thinking of a Fu Manchu or a radiata at the moment. Nice tank Marini.

Hello, I am not new to the board have been absent for quite some time. My heater stuck and baked all of my fish <img src="graemlins//angel.gif" border="0" alt="[angel]" /> Anyway i never tore down my tank, and I am giving some thought to a foray with an aggressive setup. The tank is a 55 gal...

I,ve always heard and read that clowns should be kept seperartely unless they are a mated pair. The maroons are very agressive and usually will not tolerate other clowns. I had a tomato and two percs at the same time and the tomato kept the percs holed up in one corner. The tomato was given away...

Mixing clown species is never advised. They can become very terrotorial. Maroon clowns are the most agressive clown, and will not tolerate any other clownfish. If you do get two maroons get them young so only one will change to a female. They will form a pecking order, with the female being...

same here the lfs said he was active and spent a lot of time in the open. They get every time.

I got a hosreshoe crab the friday, and haven't seen him since. Is this normal? Today is sunday. He is about 1 inch in diameter.

The angles should do fine. You should ice the Kole as reccomended my Big Dave. The rule is usually 1 inch of fish for five gallons. Some people think for is better including myself. Some systems could get away with three. Two is out of the question especially with butterflies and tangs who need...

When you said 12 did you mean 120 if not your tang should not be in anything smaller than a 29 rectangular(and that is almost inhumane) or 46 bowfront being only two inches long. As it grows it will need at least a 75 to thrive. Some will only put a tang in a tank six feet long. If it is 12...

If you do it slowly you could squeeze at least two meduim sized fish in there. A dwarf angel, a hawkfish, a six-line wrasse, or a pair of percs would do fine. You may have to watch the hawk to make sure he doesn't bother the goby. Some hawks bother bottom dwellers.

When I said wait if you want the flame angel I thought you realized that dwarf angels will kill each other in that size of a tank, so will the tangs. With the tangs the ich from having two in a 60 gal will also kill the rest of your tank, or cause you a real big headache. Coral beauties are...

error on "tough" was supposed to be though.

The fish I would add next would be one or two percula clowns, if you want a pair of them. They are probably the hardiest fish on your list. I have a lawnmower as well and I think you should wait a little while on him. If you want a flame wait. Don't make the same mistake I did and get the Coral...

The foxface I am interseted in is the magnificent, but I have never been able to find it or any information on it.

The lights in your hood now would be suffecient for a FOWLR(fish only with live rock). Thats all I have, and my coraline does pretty well. If you eventually want corals you will have to upgrade your lighting though. I would also suggest some LS(live sand), it works much better than CC(crushed...

I got a Coral Banded shrimp one time and after a couple of days I noticed cut fins, and small abrasions on scales. I kept my eye out for the nest couple of days and my shrimp was chasing the fish. He chased damsels, percs, and even a 3" tomato clown. I can't remember if I had my coral beauty yet...

I got one about a month ago and he is doing great. Eats Formula One, Bloodworms, and flakes. Never hid, and ate 4-5 hours after I added him to the tank. Eats like a pig. No difficulties that I know of. There area lot of mixed opinions of theses fish. I would say they were as hardy if not more...

It's quikrete commercial grade sand. Meduim sizes, the bag is brown paper with green trim. It's at Home depot and Lowe's, but it is not aragonite, so it does not act as a PH buffer. I think that is the only difference than southdown.

I believe I have the same fish. He changes colors, and doesn't leave marks on the glass. He is also more shy than I thought he was going to be.

It's time to replace my lights and I was wondering what ratio if any I need to maintain.

what is btw
