Wondering what the consensus is on how small is too small for an ORA mandarin? I had a few saltwater setups before, stopped them all for one reason or another, but my wife would like a mandarin and I'd like to make her happy :) I figure whatever I do will be a simple setup, low light, FOWLR...

I was told that it is an RBTA that was bleached (it was in a tank with NO lighting for a month without supplemental feeds). It hated light the first few weeks (probably the change from NO to halide). My GSM found it VERY quickly and has been bringing it food, plus I feed it krill every other...

I just got a 90 gallon that I'm setting up, not sure if it will be fowlr or reef yet (based on lighting budget frankly) and I have a few questions. First off how much volume of water should be moving through the sump? I am going to do an overflow box as the tank isnt drilled and its just...

Okay I'm getting a 90 gallon shortly, not sure what size sump but at least 30 gallons, and i'm still figuring out the skimmer but anyway I wanted to know what ppl thought of this stock list Rock beauty angel (smallest full size one from what I understand). Powder blue tang Kole Tang Raccoon...

Okay I have a 56 gallon tank and my local reef club has basically informed me that due to the particular dimensions (30x18x24) it's basically to be stocked like a nano tank, but I can have more quantity of course, but no fish over 5 inches. The other suggestion was seahorses, which I've long...

Okay I have a 56 gallon, which is 30 x 18 x 24 albeit height isnt important in most cases. I definitely want this pair of maroon clowns my LFS has, they are the most orange I've ever seen, more orange than most percula clowns, and almost neon/glowing. Anyway, I wanted to find out what else I...

I'd like to buy this anemone, but I'd like to get an ID on it. From what I was told it was collected in the gulf of california (warm water pacific) and has been in captivity for 3 years (a victim of a tank takedown due to the economy). Open it is the size of a silver dollar and 1/4 inch thick...

I was wondering, being I'm prepping my next tank, can I have a large enough group of clowns that they wont fight? The LFS has a mass of clowns in their coral display tank, I think its something like 50 of them, its a sight to see, especially when there are like 20 of them in the BTA together...

I have a 56 gallon, 30x18x24, I'm considering making it into a FOWLR and being coral-free Im thinking mostly fish that aren't reef safe. Can you put more than 1 puffer in a tank? I was thinking a snowflake eel, a couple of valentini (or other small) puffers. I'm also considering a foxface...

I just got a pair of percula/ocellaris hybrid clowns (so I was told) and was wondering, I know you cant have more than 1 type of clown except in large tanks, but can I have more than 2? I was just thinking about adding a na-ked or black/white later. Cant put na-ked right here, yet they sell...

I have a 56 gallon, 30 side to side, 18 front to back, 24" tall. Can some of you fine people suggest a nice FOWLR setup for me? One thing I'd like to have is a snowflake eel, but if you have an awesome set of fish that can live with in the 30" tank, but wont live with a snowflake, then have at...

Tank is a 20 gallon "high" I know for sure I want a pair of percula clowns. I'd also like a "group" of fire fish, but need some help deciding about keeping them in an open top tank. I'd also like a green clown goby and eventually a Mandarin. Any other suggestions are welcome (especially if the...

Im looking at fish for my new 20H and I like the dartfish (firefish or blue gudgeon) can anyone tell me about these fish, mainly in an open top tank.... I've heard they are jumpers, but i've also heard its mainly when there are wrasses in the tank. Any help is appreciated.

it is in the top of the photo, I have a YTBD and this isnt as blue, nor as yellow, its also more elongated. Its not particularly yellow on the belly either. Any help would be great... I just want to make sure I didnt get something that is going to get very large (the ytbd is already starting to...

So here are some photos I just took of my 5.5 gallon, some better than others, but there is a FTS :) I'm going to post the one pic in the ID forum because I dont honestly know what kind of fish I have. Enjoy :) http://s762.photobucket.com/albums/x...Gallon%20reef/

So I'm starting my 20H nano. The filter is a whisper 20 I think, I think I'm also going to get a Rio Nano skimmer (not the best skimmer, but better than nothing) or perhaps a Prism if I can find one on auction. So in the vein, how many more gph should I look at flow wise? I was thinking about...

Okay so there was a thread about building a MH pendant out of a security light and ballast, and that is my plan and I've got some DIY experience but need some help ballast wise.... The ballast I'm looking at is for a 70W mh which should be plenty for a 10 gallon AGA. I may build a canopy later...

Okay, It's been some time since I've posted here, had some trials and tribulations with my 56 gallon that is now freshwater... Anyway I've maintained my 5 gallon nano through all of this and I think its high time to consider a lighting upgrade. Tank is a standard AGA "5 gallon" (5.5 I think...

Okay well I took down my 56, I'm just not ready to be lugging 20 gallons a week from walmart (I dont have money for an RO) and I dont have money for a bunch of other stuff that would make life easier to deal with... that said I put my 5 gallon QT back into "full duty" and the yellow tail blue...

My tank smells NASTY. I just changed the sand out and the sand was nasty. I put my fish into my QT and they seem okay, as do my mushroom, GSP and we'll see on the Zoos. I'm actually thinking of just leaving the 5 gallon up for a few months and then getting a 29 or something and staying nano...
