    Seriously,

    For some reason I have had a string of fish die on me. A chalk bass, and a lawnmower blenny. The Chalk Bass was getting chased by an aggressive ocellaris, and the blenny died 2 days later. I have done nothing different except to add phosguard, I did a 20% WC 1 week ago. I have a test kit and...

    Any recommendations? I am looking for a fish that will be housed in a 38, and is reef-compatible. A tang would be too big, so something smaller perhaps.

    Six Line Wrasse

    I've read that they are peaceful fish and can be mixed with other six lines. It also said that if you put too many in a small tank it would cause fighting, anyone have any experiences? If so please share, I am looking to place 2 in a 38 gal, but do not want to have any fighting occur. Thanks

    Clowns, again.

    Ok, after some reading and a bit of research I have stumbled upon another difficult clown question. The clowns in particular are A. Ocellaris, but that makes no difference. I have read countless times that you can't put more than one pair of clowns together, but my question is this what about if...

    What exactly ..

    How do you determine how long your lights should be on? There are no corals yet but I'm about to set up my timer just so it has a set schedule. Its a 38 with two T5s 36w each.
