I was planning on adding a Flame Angel to my 29 gallon tank, but have decided not to as I have a reef tank and have heard that they will nip the corals. What would be a good alternative to this fish. I was think of a six line wrasse, but I am open to everything that will fit in this tank. 2...

I am looking to build an intank refuge that will hang on the back of my 29 gallon reef tank that I haven't put up yet. The main reason I want to do this is so I can have a Green Mandarin Dragonet about a year after I have the tank up. I want to keep enough pods in here to feed him. Here is the...

Ok I have been throwing around the idea of either doing a 10 gallon nano or setting up my 29 gallon into a reef tank. The descision has been made and I am going with the 29. Reason being it should be a little easier to take care of, and I can also get alot more stuff to put into the tank (big...
