I upgraded to a 125 gallon and am now ready to start adding more fish. I have a list of fish that I would like to have in my reef tank. I realize this question has been asked probably a million times if not more. I also realize that the "how many fish" question has been asked a million times and...

I have noticed a trend and don't know if what I am thinking is correct. I have bought 5 fish from SWF and have 2 left. One died because it jumped out of the tank (it was a firefish), 2 died for unknown reasons other than a new tank. Months later I started adding fish from a LFS. I have bought 8...

Can I add a Coral Beauty Angel after I have a Powder Blue Tang or should I add the Angel first? I always heard Angels should be added last in the tank. SWF lists the dwarf coral beauty angel as peaceful and the powder blue tang bold. I don't know what rule to follow now. Peaceful fish first and...

I just finished building my refugium and am wondering what sandbed to put in and how to add it. If I put a live sand in the fuge will it cycle my tank? If so, how do I add this without causing a cycle? I saw some sand that said it cycles instantly and you can add fish immediately. I currently...

I purchased a new skimmer because my sealife skimmer just isn't enough. I also built a new sump out of a 20 gallon long tank. I have 11 inches for the overflow going into a sock into the sump. My skimmer will also be in this chamber. I then have a bubble chamber made if three pieces of acrylic...
