    Emperor Angel

    I would like to get an emperor angel for my fish only tank. I currently have 1 yelloe tang (approx. 3"), 3 blue damsels (1.25"- 2.25"), 1 coral beauty (2.5"), and 1 hawaiian halfmoon (1") in a 55gal tank. Does this sound okay?

    How long will the fish live???

    I do not live near a good store that sells saltwater fish. If I bought some new fish, it would take me about 2-3 hours to get home with them. Would they live? What about ordering them from the internet? If anyone has done this, please tell me how it works and why the fish don't die. Mandy

    Home Theater vs Reef

    I am jealous, if the fish are feeling it more than me. It sounds like some kind of Philips Magnavox commercial doesn't it? My fish are about 12ft away from a 57" tv w/ surround and yet seem to freak out more from us turing on the ceiling lights than anything else. Mandy

I have a 55gal fish only tank that originally belonged to someone else and when I bought it the tank was already "seasoned." This tank will be brand new and will not...
