I recomend leaving lights on 4 - 6 hours a day while cycling with live rock and sand. Lights off for long periods of time can drop ph to unhealthy levels for the rock. Did you say 4 - 96 watt lights? Meaning 384 watts of lighting on a 55 gallon tank? Thats the lighting I use on my 85 gallon...

Heres an update: The emporrer angelfish that this post regaurds is still alive. I have removed him to a 10 gallon hospital tank with 2 percula clownfish and a 10 pound live rock. The live rock gives him something to nibble off of. He still does not eat when i feed the tank but occassionally...

I reall need some help here im freaking out. Doesn't anyoen know about the emporer angels? -ad :eek:

Hey guys. I got an Emporer Angelfish from an online store and it arrived today. He was supposed to be a 3-4 inch adult yet instead they sent me a 3 inch juvenile (i think!) Well, after a few hours on the bottom of the tank (AHH!!) he's starting to move around. This is probably because I moved...

I've been told it can't be done but like every fish question and answer there are exceptions. It all really depends on the individual fish. But I have a question for the experts out there. How would a 3 inch juvi emporer angel do with a 3.5 inch flame angel? The flame appears to be the stronger...

Thanks for the quick reply!! Yes, I know the tank is small. However, within the next 3 days I will be getting my 150 gallon tank. I was very excited about that but now im freaking out because this fish is looking weird. Previously in the tank was a purple tang and two percula clowns. 60 pounds...

Hey guys. I got a shipment of fish in today from a place online. One of the fish was an Emporer Angelfish. The first was supposed to be a 3-4 inch adult yet instead they sent me a 3 inch juvenile (ithink!) Well, after a few hours on the bottom of the tank (AHH!!) he's starting to move around. He...

Hey guys. As promised I have a new 150 gallon tank coming this week. I will be adding atleast 200 pounds of Live rock and 200 pounds of live sand. How many 3 inch tangs could I SAFELY fit in a tank this size. Also, what other ideas can you guys come up with of how I should stock this. I would...

please see my other post. I am soon upgrading to a 125 gallon. I do however think the purple tang is fine where he is now. He is only about 2.5 inches long. The LFS had him in their showcase for nearly two years so I'm guessing his size wont double in the near future. And if so, I will have the...

Some of you people are stone cold idiots (unfortunately, this includes you too mr moderator). If you notice the iRrEgUlAr font and the fact that my post ends with an eye roll you should be able to tell that my post was simply mocking the original poster. I dont even think all those fish could...

I am close to purchasing a 125 gallon glass tank from the LFS. My question is would it be possible to have my only filtration be 3 Aqua Clear 500 filters and a protein skimmer? I will be adding a suffiecient ammount of Live Rock and Live Sand for biological purposes. Shouldn't this be enough...

DO get the purple tang. He is AWESOME. It took me a few monthes to find one I really liked though. A lot of the ones locally had stress marks across their faces and suffered from discoloration. The one I got came out of the SHOW CASE from the LFS. He was in their for 6 monthes and is perfect. He...

I just got my first flame angel just over 2 weeks ago. After a rough couple days hes now doing GREAT. I've since added a BEAUTIFUL red sea purple tang who is his best buddy. They swim around all day looking for food. Good Luck! peace -adam

I actually have a 37 that im currently in the stocking proccess of. Here is what I have done. I have 50 pounds of live rock. Then, after the cycle I bought a pollyps and a 2.5 inch flame angel. The angel looked sick and dole for a few days but then livened up. Yesterday I added 2 false percs who...

Well I bought some Florida aquaculture rock from a place in Tampa. It is the single most beautiful rock I've ever seen. Things growing EVERYwhere, cool animals were coming out of every hole. The problem is that the cycle is taking forever. My NITRITES have been off the charts for over a month...

Now its Tuesday. And while I'm rather confident that today was the start of WWIII my fish is doing slightly better. Because of todays events I decided not to buy a new tank as I was glued to my TV all day. I left the lights off in the tank for 25 horus to calm the fish down. I turned them back...

I called around, noone will accept another stores fish but were quick to take shots at that other store for not taking it back. All the stores are already closed so I have to wait till tomorrow. Hopefully he can wait another 24 hours till I can get a 10 gallon up and running? Do I want a filter...

he came out and swam very impressively for a little. His coloration is not THAT bad. but the nitrites are still off the charts and I know hes fading... The guy at the LFS said NOWAY do a water change as it will just screwup my cycle? What should I do? Please help? -adam

hes still fading... I just got back from my LFS who did a test on my water. The cycle I assumed was complete was obviously not. My test kit for nitrie is faulty and my nitrites are at lethal levels. I dont know what to do. The store I bought him from wont take him back and hes just moving less...
