    Compatibility Question

    Thank you Marine rock- Just offering my opinion. To all the others who replied:I understand now and it was my bad for telling him he could put two naso together. I read it wrong. He listed the yellow tang and the Hawaiian naso tang together so I thought it read as a yellow hawaiian tang. Sorry...

    Cowfish owners.

    I have always been attracted to cowfishes, not necessarily boxfishes but cowfishes and they will always be interesting to me. However, My tank was killed and it was twice that this was done. The tank was thriving very well till I got these fish and then everything was dead in a matter of days to...

    Compatibility Question

    I dont know when I ever said I was getting a Blonde Naso. I am not a beginner and I know they would kill each other. I learned this a long time ago with the yellow tangs. To answer some of the questions that were directed towards me: Ive had the tank up and running for a year. I have had the...

    water

    The LFS usually have RO water or at least mine does. They charge 80 cents a gallon for salt RO water and 65 cents for freshwater RO. Check your LFS to see what they offer. You can pick up a bare bones RO for approx 80-90 dollars. Best way to do it. Aquarium pharmaceducals makes a tap water...

    chocolate chip starfish feed to much??

    I had one the size of my hand. Very large. He ate everything. I thought hed be ok with the live rock in my tank. I was wrong. Hed eat those things dry. Hed pounce on my snails and eat them too. He would come out and fee when I fed my fish so I never had a problem feeding him. Mine lost a...

    hippo tang

    Ill agree with the last two replys. Not my favorite though. I have a very large Imperator angel thats definetly my favorite. Ive had my hippo for about 8 months now. He's "Huge". about 8 inches. I think hes maxed for my tank... hopefully. He has always been prone to ich but when I got my UV...

    Cowfish owners.

    Alti, you may be right. All I know is what has happened. For all I know he couldve broke his horns on the rocks or something. All I can say is that Ive had three and had bad experiences with all of them. However, I may have had the better luck with the 1 inch cow if I didnt have such a strong...

    help with lighting for 90 gallon reef

    Power compacts baby! I use them on my 125 gallon and my 90. Any higher I would lean towards metal halide. DO NOT put Chocolate chip starfish in a tank where you want anything to grow. They consume everything. All growth on the live rock is gone if you put these in your tank.

    Water??

    You can get a bare bones for 80 bucks which makes ro water. You can get a tap water purifier by aquarium pharmasudicals for 40 bucks or less. Or you can just add plain water with a conditioner for 1.49? all these things work its just to what degree do you care? I used to live in a place where...

    What is the problem?

    I wouldnt add anything to the tank. However, the ultimate way to go is RO water. Pretty inexpensive if you look at what it will ultimately do for your tank. Bare bones is about 80 bucks or so. This is what I would recommend. If you have a biowheel, you can cut one of those filter pads( i think...

    No filter setup...possible to self-sustain?

    small powerhead perhaps? for water movement. Need oxygen! I highly recommend eclipse tanks for this small of a tank. Mainly because of the built in bio wheel filter. You just need to understand that fish crap and what are you going to take it out with? leave it in and you get ammonia which in...

    Cowfish owners.

    Ive had three. One I had was 6 inches long and I put him in a all fish tank with a yellow tang and a butterfly. He killed the tank in less than a week including himself. That was a 50 gallon tank 3 years ago. I got another one a couple months ago for my 90 gallon and it was about the same size...

    Tank is cycled....now to put the really cool fish in

    Exactly what I was questioning. 8lbs or 80? 8 lbs really aint doing anything for your cycling. 80 lbs yes. However, just like the former fish fanatics explained, its way to much of a bioload for your tank. I have seen triggerfish eat tangs away to nothing. Never a good idea. Things have to be...

    yellow tang fading

    try spectrum pellet foods. Enhanses their color. Also, what are your water conditions like? what type of light also?

    Red slime

    try antired(made in germany). Perfect stuff. Doesnt effect anything like PH or biological filtration and adds nutrifying bacteria.

    Porcupine Puffer

    I had one and it ate everything. My clownfish included. They grow quite large. Mine was 6 inches and I had him a year and he grew 2 more inches plus really fat. I mostly fed him small feeders, brine shrimp gumdrops and bloodworms. for the brine shrimp, I know its not good to do but it didnt...
