well wouldnt it be nice of we all could live on a tropical coast where shipping these delicate animal from store to store is much less of an issue. Bragging about it makes you to be truly well Im gonna stop myself right there. So to you people bragging how little you pay, i hope you feel good...

I say try it out, you probobally will try eventually anyway the hobby is addicting, and since your asking you probobally have your heart set on it, and you always want to be the one to prove what has been said as a set "rule" is not always the case. I have a 150 only 4' long, and I was told no...

I just recently had to upgrade my QT, Im in the large angel phase, and they're a delicate nightmare if not quarantined properly. I used to use a 15 gallon, which worked great until I wanted bigger fish. a 10 gallon works as long as theyre small fish being quarantined, obviously you wont put a...

thanks for your help i hypo the DT started today, how long do i leave it for

hi sorry to hear of your loss. Now that it has happened, have any of the dying fish had any skin spots, salt speckles, any noticeable markings on their bodies. It sounds to me like you may have a host for parasites (the coral beauty), he may have a healthy enough immune system to not show...

Hi I have a 140 gallon reef tank, and whenever I put any new fish in they get some small salt spots almost instantly. I know its because the parasites are living in the bottom of the tank, not enough of them to kill the existing fish, however enough to harm, and usually kill any new comers...

whether vlamigi or lopezi, it can easilly grow to 12" take a look at http://www.wetwebmedia.com/naso.htm and read up on both, their very similar

it looks more like a lopezi than a vlagimi, ive had both, their almost identical fish in juvi stage. However you can tell better at adult stage, but since yours still has the blue spots my guess is def lopezi not vlagimi they turn into a solid more greenish color

it is a unicorn surgeon fish for sure (related to the popular naso tang, however looks more like a lopezi to me rather than a vlagimi, did he have blue spots when he was young, and blue lips maybe? google some pics of both cant completely tell from that pic check out the pics

Hi just recently got a Large Emperor, currently being QT in a 55 gallon w/ LR. Ive been told to treat new angelfish with Prazi pro. Got some today however girl @ LFS told me not to use it w/ LR. But it says right on the bottle "wont effect biological filtration," has anyone ever used this...

originally had a 55 gal with a eheim canister worked ok as chemical filtration, but IMO they do nothing biologically, as they are supposed to. too much cleaning, nitrate, etc. dont think theyre worth it. Sumps are the way to go, and you dont have to pay top dollar. You can make one for a lot...

Had a Blue hippo tang do the same thing for about 4 days, suddenly showed back up dont lose hope, how much LR do u have for him to hide, also this fish may have burrowed into the sand, be careful of moving things around in the tank, u dont want to crush him if he is alive

Hey just got an adult Emperor angel about 6 " in length and am currently keeping him in a 55 gallon as a QT, tank had been cycled for 2mos has about 80 lbs of rock 50 lbs of sand, and only one other fish. I was not planning on getting such a large one as normally my Qt is a 20 gallon long...

REFUGIUM get one somewhere Read up on them they are awesome have one on every one of my tanks and you can build them, but if you have a sump makes things a whole lot easier. Questions Let me know but try to check out the info on them I learned a ton from just googling them

Hi I started with a 55 gallon and used the eheim wet/dry, and the eheim canister. I will be the first to tell you that I had a great deal of algae covering the sand glass, LR, and pretty much anything but the fish. Had to clean the tank daily. Since then I have upgraded to a 140, and at first...

Three tangs in a 6 ' tank, absolutely. I have 6 in my 140 they pass each other by just fine, and I have more aggressive ones (Powder Brown, Naso, Lopezi, Blue Hippo, Blue hippo yellow belly, and a yellow). Just a couple things that will help your success rate with tangs immensely; if you do...

Hi about 7 weeks ago set up a 75 gallon tank for my GF for her birthday. tank has cycled, and water checked out to be perfect using a 15 gallon sump with a 10 gallon fuge (tons of chadeo) my old prizm skimmer the big one for 250 gallons, 110 lbs LR 50 lbs LS. Just added her first fish 2 days...

I did exaggerate the # of tangs, for some reason I thought I had 8 i actually have 5 i have 2 blue tangs, a powder brown, a yellow, and a naso, none show any signs of parasites. ALso have a neon goby, and a cleaner wrasse. Qt sat for 9 weeks w/o fish. this has been going on for about a year
