I have successful kept a yellow tang and a hippo tang in a 55 gal tank. the two where purchased together when small (about the size of a quarter) and spent their first 4 weeks at my home in a 20 gal quarentine tank. They grew to be about 3-4 in and then developed ich when some LFS water got into...

I have done a search on the board w/ no luck. I am concerned with the weight in my tank. All I have found concerning weight dealt with how much the floor could hold. I want to know how much a 55 gal can hold. I once had one spring a leak (fresh water w/ 75lbs of crushed marble and about 60lbs of...

Thanks for the info. Everything is in and the H2O is starting to clear again. It is funny to see my red leg hermit run across the tank with a little cloud of dust behind him. He is my 4 y.o. daughter's new favorite.

I just moved my fish to quarantine because of ich. I just added about 95lbs of Southdown Sand to my tank after removing all the crushed coral. The tank settled overnight however the surface of the sand, when disturbed, recreates cloudy water. I am ready to put my live rock and hermits back in...

I'm not sure what he fed them, I am rotating flack food in the morning and A mixed marine frozen food which contains krill, brine and "other" seafood. they seem to like it but the little guys look awful. I had to drop them in my 55 gal because the numbers in my QT fluctulated too much... Can I...

I'm not sure how he treated them, when I went to pick them up the tank they were in was covered in algae. They have perked up a bit, they no longer seem so stressed and are eating. Is bacterial fin rot contagious?
