    Large Angels

    the rock says... yes, isn't that emperor an incredible looking fish, as for the angels you spoke of, if you are going to put them in your tank i would suggest doing it at the same time as you will have a much better chance of them getting along. they will thrive in the right system, they won't...

    Anemone Trobles

    the rock says... you are getting bad info, that tank is way too small and it is doubtful that you will be able to keep an anemone alive for more than a month or so, even the haitians which are very hardy out of all the anemones. you definately need the proper lighting as well, i would take a...

    New tank

    the rock says... i agree with redemptioner except for the protein skimmer comment, if you don't have many fish all the protein skimmer will do is compete with the corals, so i would suggest only a small one or none at all. live rock and live sand are a great idea

    Mandarin Fish

    the rock says... copepods multiply too fast for the mandarin to keep up. look in your sump if you want to add some more to your tank, check under rocks and stir the gravel, i'm sure there are still tons in your tank. the mandarin will find them and as long as he can find some microfauna he...

    another fish?

    the rock says... the picasso has been known to do that type of stuff and probably is harassing the puffer all day long, that is a major problem if the porc is puffing, it should not be doing that, remove it to a more peaceful place
