  1. General Reef Discussion
    So my tank is getting a little bare. Removed a flame angel for nipping (link) at my LPS and my foxface died :( (link) for unknown reasons. So I'm setting up an observation tank, 30 gallons in preparation for choosing something new. I wanted to stay away from "perching" fish since I have...

I am looking at a few hermit crabs, some snails(such as astrea), a cleaner shrimp, occelaris clown(s) ( i haven't decided on one or two ), a butterfly ( copperband, aurgia, or racoon, though i like latticed...

    My 40g has finished cycling yay! :dance: My tank is gonna be mostly a LPS coral tank(maybe SPS too) with 2 or 3 or 4 fish. I want COMMUNITY fish...no aggressive fish! Also no shrimp/goby pairs (they make a pretty big mess with the sand). I really want a royal gramma, but so far I have the worst...

    I want a reef setup but will be starting with a FOWLR tank until I get more experienced with SW (maybe a year). I'd like to get comments on my plan before I go any further. Here's my setup so far: 135g display with twin overflows 30g sump 4x96W CF lights with individual parabolic reflectors on...

    I am starting a new saltwater tank. I was thinking of getting 2 ocellaris clowns 1 yellow tang 1 watchman goby and 2 or 3 chromis. Do these choices sound good?

    Need help figuring out where to go from here. After alot of bad advice, moving, etc, we have ended up with a group of fishes that are having trouble finding tankmates. Per Petco advice, we were informed a yellow tang was safe in a 55 gal tank. :doh: Don't even think it....I already know! But...
  9. Non Coral Dominated Systems
    Currently have a Flame Angel, Yellow Tang, Yellow Tail Damsel, Peppermint Shrimp and 2 Blue Leg Hermit Crabs in a 55 gal. FOWLR. When I purchased the tang from PetCo, I was told they only required 55 gal. Since then, I have learned better, so I am on the hunt for someone selling a 75 or larger...
