I wouldn't put any macroalgaes in the main tank on purpose. Most grow very rapidly, and are hard to keep trimmed. If its a plant you want for the tank I would suggest Shaving Brush plants either from this site or from another. They grow new shoots given the proper lighting and multiply...

Sorry for your loss =(

If its a conch it should be OK, they are good scavengers

Damsels = Devils & Hellions!

Corris Wrasses are suppose to be on the difficult side to care for.

I order all live rock online. I have bought a little bit from around here. (Pennslyvania) for $6. Went to web site got 45lbs for $99 (Fiji Rock). I have always ordered online. Most of the online dealers try to vary the live rock sizes, but if you don't like the size use a hammer and chisel...

I would go with a Lunar Wrasse and either a Scott's Wrasse, Banana Wrasse or Six-line wrasse. HTH =)

I have a 55 gallon aquarium with 80# of live rock and the following fish: 1 Six-line wrasse, 1 Heniochus Butterflyfish, 1 Blue Damselfish, and 1 firefish. I am very interested in getting a Flame scallop I have done alot of research on them and I have decided to purchase one. I am aware they...

This is a question that is VERY often on this message board argued about. Most people will say NO, I would definately have to agree with those who say a tang needs a bigger tank. Most tangs are REQUIRED to have loads of swimming room. Therefore a 55 gallon is not really adequete. So I...

Actually I have about 12 shaving brsuh plants...The things you need are nitrates, sand, and lots of light...LIGHT being the MOST IMPORTANT thing! And I have tangs, angels and damsels in with the shaving brush plants...none of them eat them, they are the one plant that not many fish if any, eat...

SID2003 I have a pair of Pink Skunk Clownfish and a Magnificent Anemone...the anemone almost covers the whole tank I have over 60 watts on the tank and I use a sea-clone skimmer. HTH

Alright...I have a 55 gallon Fish-only with live rock tank. I have an Aquaclear/Hagan Powerfilter 500 (500gph). I also have 2 400gph powerheads and a sea-clone skimmer with 80lbs of live rock and 3" dsb. the currenty residents of my aquarium are 1 Yellow-tailed blue damselfish, 1 six-line...

Thanks for the replies...the only thing I was worried about was if it would affect my pH. If it wouldn't...it would be fine in a saltwater tank just as long as there were no delicate invertebrates only hardy fish like damsels. Any comments?

I wouldn't suggest putting those two tangs together in that small of a tank. They would most likely become stressed and fight with each other. I have a yellow tang and wouldn't really want a regal tang because it is very prone to fin erosion, and, skin and lateral line disease.

Ok...I have 5 saltwater tanks. I know all about live rock and its benifits i.e. biological filtering, food source, hiding place. Could I collect "non-live rock" from the local lake? The rock is flat and looks like sandstone or some other type of rock. My question is: Could I use this rock in...

I agree with Kev.

Yes it is normal...All the angelfish I have (Koran, Emperor, Flame, Coral Beauty, and Maculosus) They all do this when picking at live rock, they turn completely sideways sometimes...kind of like they are looking at something.

You could use some kind of fine netting (what fish nets are made out of, you can find it at most craft stores.) Just use some tape and cover the exposed areas.

Maculosus Angelfish are a very hardy addition to any fish-only aquarium. You might want to try one of these, they get about 12"-13" long. They are a deep blue/purple with a yellow half-moon shape on either side of them. Koran Angelfish are also hardy. Whatever you do, do not add any dwarf...
