We have a 20 gallon tank with 40# live rock, a Flame Angel and a 2.5" long Long Nose Hawk. All seems well. Crabs look like a good addition, but I read that Long Nose Hawks eat crabs. Hard for me to believe this. Is there a potential problem getting an Emerald crab, a Porcelain crab & a few...

Two weeks ago, live rock was put into a new 20 gal tank. Over the past week a worm like thing has slowly emerged from a hole in a small piece of broken rock. It is now about 1.5" long by 3/16" diameter, it is free from it's hole in the rock and lying on the sand. It has a small fuzzy head that...

Ok, first of all, a yellow tang is hard to keep...especially in that size tank. If you had two perculas together and they weren't a mated pair, you may have troubles with them. Another thing you may want to consider is how you are acclimating the fish. I know when I was a beginner that I never...

I agree with Anthem. You also have to take into account the fact that the Lunare and Niger are big, sloppy eaters and will make a mess of food and thus raise your nitrates. This will make for less than perfect water conditions which is needed for many angels, tangs, and butterflies. I have had...

I have a 72 that I am going to set up again at the end of this summer and plan on setting something up similar to what you have. I have never used a sump or refugium. What goes in a refugium?

I had considered that a possibility...you think raising the water level up is more likely to remedy this than down?

On my new 20 gallon w/ 45 lbs of LR and 20 lbs of LS, I use a Emperor 280 for filtration. Since I started it 4 or 5 days ago, I have constantly had foamy bubbles all over the surface of the water. Anybody know what causes this? Is there some way I can adjust the filter to not shoot the bubbles...

First of all, I didn't ever intend to put a mandarin in their...someone else recommended I do so. Second, there is about 15 gallons of water in there actually.

I just have regular lights...I think I have a 20,000K daylight bulb in it though. For filtration, a Emperor 280.

Hey I set a 20G up five days ago. I have 45 lbs. of live rock and 20 lbs of live sand. My filtration is a emperor 280. Should I add any fish or shrimp or anything to help me cycle? Or will the rock and sand take care of that?

I just received a LR shipment (50 lb), direct from the ocean I guess. I put it in a tank of salt water and there are some visible creatures on it - some small flea like things and a red worm the diameter of an earthworn and about 3/4 inch long. Should these things be gotten out of a tank or...
