I did a search on regal and yellow tangs and found some good info, but I would still like to get some more opinions! I have a 6 foot 135G Oceanic tank. Is it too small to have a yellow and regal tang? Right now, I just have a cleaing crew, a few green chromis, and a pair of perc. clowns...

ok, i'll try to describe the best i can. If it's not fruitful, i'll borrow a digital camera from a friend...here goes... Iit's about the size of an average marble (maybe dime size but spherical). The round body is a dark-dark-purple - almost black, then there's these deep-purple spines about...

probably asking a little late, but i want to know. i bought a 135g oceanic with the matching oceanic cap and stand. the cap had standard issue lighting that came with it. fish are great, nutrients are great, and coralline algae is blooming...i am not doing anything special...lights on timer...

I bought this lr covered in coralline algae it seems like either by blue legged hermits, scarlet hermits, or 1 emerald crab are eating all the coralline. But, about a week ago I noticed a huge bloom of coralline all over the tank (fake plants, fake dead coral decs, filters, etc), except on the...

I bought some live rock, and i found a serpant star when i placed it in the tank. He was moving around for a couple days, now he's been hiding under this one rock in the same spot for the past 2 weeks. He has only 2 or 3 legs sticking out at any one time, but ive never seen his body except for...

I have cc, so that's probably part of my prob. When i first got my tank cycled, trates were around 5-10 (for about 4 weeks). Then once I added some LR, it went through a mini-cycle for about 3-4 days. ammonia and trites are zero, but now my trates have been about 20 ~ 25 for the past week...

there are 3 fish that i really enjoy, but have read they can be nightmares in a tank...i would like to hear some real world experience on behavior with other fish...thanks 1. False Gramma 2. Royal Gramma 3. Strawberry fish? (Pseudochromis Porphyreus) which do you think is the most peaceful...

ok the picture kinda sucks, so i'll also try to describe. It's at the top of the tank, just below the waterline. It's a little smaller than the size of a dime. It's somewhat circular at the base, but pointy at the top...almost like a tee-pee. It has alternating brown and off-white stripes. I...

Here's my story: I used tap water to sart my tank (shame on me i guess). I'm seeing all the benefits that people talk about on this site and i want to get an ro/di unit. The problem is, I live in an apartment...probably shouldn't have a 135g in an apartment, but thats another story. :-) So...

hi i just got some lr and it had some sponges on it. could you please help me id them, and how to tell if they are alive or not? sorry to sound elementary, but i posted in the newbie section and didnt get any responses. and info you have would help. thank you

my tank has been set up since end of dec. here are my specs: amm: 0; trites: 0; trates: 20~25; ph: 8.2; salinity: 1.024 are these params ok for a regal tang? trates are prob a little high, but then again i have that cc!! :( wish i would have known before i set up tank!!!

please help! about 2 weeks ago i added 20lbs of lr to a 135g tank - first lr in tank. after a couple of days, i noticed some stress on fish and a mini cycle occurring. ammonia went up to 0.25 for 2 days, then trites up a bit and down, then trates up to 25 from 10, and they are staying there...

thought it was interesting/cool. One of my scarlet hermits "dissappeared", but his empty shell show up later, then I see one of my blueleg hermits take the scarlet shell. Then, a hitch hiking snail on the live rock took the blueleg hermits shell this all happened in a matter of hours...kinda...

ok, chalk this up to "things i wish i knew before i bought it". When I set up my tank, i bought crushed coral because i like it better for whatever reason. Didn't realize the benefits of LS. After 2 weeks of the tank set up and nothing happening, i put in some live sand on top of the cc [now...

I have been watching my newly aquired scarlet and blue legged hermits, and notice, that while climbing, they occasional fall and land on their back. It doesn't look like they can flip over by themselves. I have been flipping them over when i see them on there back. Can they upright...

i got a piece of LR and these sponges (i guess???) were on it they are red, purple and orange. Do you know what they are? How do you know if they are alive, or died before I even got them. Thanks.

I purchased some live rock the other day, and I'm trying to figure out what the heck is on it. This pic has some sort of clam on it. Anybody have a guess? Are you supposed to feed it? I've been taking a turkey baster and shooting brine shrimop in there. Also there is some sort of orange...

Ok, so I've had a 135gallon set up since end of december, tank cycled and the following were the stats... trites: 0 trates: 10 ammonia: 0 pH: 8.2 sg: 1.023 I have 4 false perc clowns, 3 green chromis and a yellow tailed damsel. last night, I added 20 pounds of live rock, 15 turbo snails, 10 blue...

Ok, so i set up my first saltwater fish tank. This sumer I will be taking 2 - 1week vacations, and I'm nervous leaving them in the care of my friends... what do you guys do? Does anyone here take vacations?!? Some sort of auto feeder? What happens if there's some sort of crises while you are...
