    Number of Fish?

    Thanks for all the post. I took back the Regal Tang today but.... I'm going to keep my Yellow Tank. If he gets to big, maybe I'll trade him in for another small one.

    Number of Fish?

    brownie, I have been told that the size of the tank would limit the growth of the fish. Do you know if this is true? I do see on this site different min tank sizes based on the size of the fish. I guess that I should always look at the adult size to determine if my tank is big enough. I...

    Number of Fish?

    I don't see anything on this site under Yellow tang or Regal tang that says they shouldn't be kept together? I'm confused??? They have more than one tang in the tanks at the fish store? They don't seem to be bothering each other. I just watched them swim very close together without either...

    RO Filter

    Thanks for your post. I currently buy my salt and fresh water from local fish store. 6 dollars for 5 gal of salt and 3 dollars for 5 gal of fresh. Trying to save a couple bucks. I thought that you would have to add the salt to get salinity to 1.025? Is this simple reef buffer? I currently...

    RO Filter

    Thinking of buying a RO water filter system. I have a 65 gal tank. Looks like a 24gpd system would be fine. Anybody know if these are difficult to install. What type of salt do I add? I couldn't find it on this site? Coralife-Energy-Savers-Pure-Flo-II-24gpd-Reverse-Osmosis-Unit

    Number of Fish?

    Hi, I have a 65gal Red Sea Max reef tank. How many fish can I have? I currently have 2 False Percula Clownfish, Yellow Tag, Coral Beauty and a Regal Tang. I would say that they are sm-med in size. Any suggestions of fish if more can be added?

    RedSea Max 250 65gal Temp Problems

    Originally Posted by yerboy 82 is fine, set your heater to keep your tank at 80-81 then your daily flux of temp is only 1-2 degrees. Stable temp is whats most important. I would think that if I set my temp higher (say 80) that when the lights run the temp would even go higher?

    RedSea Max 250 65gal Temp Problems

    Hi, I have recently purchased a Red Sea Max 250 65gal tank. I seem to be having a problem regulating my temperature. I keep my home temp set at 72. The tank seems to go up to 82 with the lights on and all fans running. During the night with "moon lights" on the tank temp goes down to 76 or...
