    eshopps vs. cpr aeroforce?

    I have used previously used the CPR Bak Pak HOB skimmer as well as The Coralife super skimmer. The Coralife was much bulkier for a HOB skimmer, but I had better results with it than the CPR. With that being said, I have been using the Aqua C Remora HOB skimmer on my 55gal FOWLR tank for close to...

    Royal gramma and a purple firefish???

    OK my idea of adding a second dwarf angel is out (60 gal tank). I added a purple firefish about a week ago and it is doing great. Was thinking of adding a royal gramma as last fish. Do you think there would be a conflict between them...similar body types etc.?

    bicolor and flame angel in a 60gal FOWLR?

    Just upgraded to a 60gal. Would it be possible to add a flame angel to the tank with an existing bicolor? Moved all liverock etc. into new tank so territories have not been established yet.

    Do i need to add dechlorinator to store bought RO water?

    I have a 55g FOWLR tank and buy premixed RO saltwater for water changes as well as RO fresh water from my LFS for top offs. Today, I bought 5 gallons of Culligan RO water out of one of those machines at my local grocery store instead because it is much cheaper. Do I need to add dechlorinator? I...

    Skimmer Question

    I've used the CoralLife Superskimmer and currently use a Aqua C remora on my 55g. I recommend the Aqua C hands down.

    55 gal FOWLR FTS

    Thanks. As far as my liverock, I guess I was right place, right time. I got it from a LFS outside of Cincinnati. 5 big pieces totaling 65lbs. The coraline has really started to cover the rock nicely. I don't like the looks of coraline covered glass, so I try to stay on top of scraping it so the...

    55 gal FOWLR FTS

    Thanks for the replies! My wife says I have OCD when it comes to maintaing my tank. I do 25% water changes every couple of weeks but I clean the glass almost every day. The sand bed is only about 1/2 - 1" so it is easier to keep clean. The sand is really white. believe it or not, it is the Estes...

    I have a bicolor angel, tomato clown, Mcosker's flasher wrasse, banggai cardinal and a green chromis. It is about 65lbs of live rock with a few different mushrooms attached. BTW the blue coral is fake. I added it for color a couple of months ago.

    Bicolor angel and coral beauty in a 55gal FOWLR?

    Maybe you are right. My bicolor is the "alpha dog" of the tank. He keeps the chromis, cardinal and gramma in check as he freely roams the tank. I don't think I want to risk it. since a Coral Beauty is now out of the question, does anyone have another suggestion for a last fish addition?

    Bicolor angel and coral beauty in a 55gal FOWLR?

    Is it possible? Already have the bicolor along with a royal gramma, green chromis and a banggai cardinal. I really like the coral beauty and would like to add if others have had success.
