    CRAB ID PLEASE

    I hope I am not hijacking the thread, but I was hoping to get some help with this little Stowaway of my own. I am afraid that to me his claws look a little bit rounded and a little bit pointed. I just brought the tank out of circulation and have ordered a CUC that will be here in a few days...

    The One Question-Answer Thread

    The thing is... I want to run some aggressive fish, two triggers, one porc. puffer, one yellow tang, and as they begin to out grow the tank move them to a 125ga.

    Questions about my tank cycling...

    I did a 20% water change last night, I will plan to do another next week. I got a similar bloom the first time I ran this tank, but it was no where near this bad. However, when I last ran this tank I didn't cycle the tank with any live rock, and I was running an under gravel filtration...

    75 Gallon Aquarium Stock/Wish list.

    Yeah.... Thanks to both of you for the responses. I really like Triggers so I'm torn about giving up on them... Do I need a bigger tank period, or could I run like a BTA, Saddleback Clown, Yellow Tang, and a Humu (cuz they only get to like 10'')?

    75 Gallon Aquarium Stock/Wish list.

    Thanks for the input. I was told in another forum a while back that I couldn't really expect to keep more than one trigger in so small a space. I have several books on marine fish including the Pocket Expert Guide to Marine Fishes. They list the min. tank size of all of my wish list at 75ga...

    75 Gallon Aquarium Stock/Wish list.

    The last time I voiced my wish list for stocking my 75ga. aquarium I got a wake up call about the number of fish I could have. I have thought better of that number and would appreciate some feed back on my new wish list. I am listing the fish in the order of introduction to the tank. I would...

    Questions about my tank cycling...

    I am wondering if this algae is going to ruin my 75 gallon tank or if it is part of the end of my tank cycling. It seemed to take off when I added my 120watt Compact Fluorescent Lamp. This is in addition to my 40watt lamp. My water test have indicated that my NH3/NH4 is maintaining at...

    New 75ga. FOWLR tank. Need input...

    I have a full aquarium testing kit. It seems that the only thing is doesn't test for is dissolved oxygen. I plan to order a test kit for Dissolved Oxygen before I start running the tank. As far as an RO/DI system, I'll have one soon as well...

    Hello. I am new to this type of advice system, but I really like all of the advice I have read so far, so try to take it easy on me... There used to be two fish stores (one good, and one bad) in my town and now there are none. I ran my 75 gallon marine aquarium for two+ years; during that time I...
