My 500g FOWLR aquarium (live rock, live sand, fake coral, CUC and all) is finally conditioned! I ordered an emperor angelfish juvenile, will be coming in a few weeks. While we wait, what fish would make some good tankmates? I know that they're peaceful w/dwarf angelfish but I'm good at keeping...

Hello, I am a newby here, and I am starting my first saltwater FOWLR tank. It is a 90 gallon tank with a 30 gal sump. I listed my specs on the tank spec forum. I am interested in getting advise on what fish would be good for this tank, once it has cycled. And also, what are the limits I...

Would a Atlantic creolefish, blue head wrasse, sargassum trigger, golden tail moray, viper moray, and maybe a red spotted hawkfish(though I'm thinking he's probably going to be a snack for the morays)or Reef Scorp? I know what eels are capable of doing, I plan to keep them well fed and give...

Elsewhere I explained that I have been out of the hobby for 20 yrs. I bought a both a 250 (8'x2'x2') and a75 Gal from a guy on Craigslist and am making my plans for setting it up. Most of the threads here concern reef tanks, but I plan to have a Fowlr without any corals in the 250g. (undecided...

I have a 250 gallon fish only setup with a 100 gallon sump. It contains about 250 pounds of cured live rock and the sump contains about 60 pounds of LR and a 6 inch DSB. The skimmer is a SRO INT 5000 and is doing a fabulous job :) The display tank has a very clean look with lots of free swimming...

Hello everyone! I've got a little problem here. I recently purchased a 10 gal tank in order to use as a mixing bin for water changes. Previously, I was using plastic water containers. I've learned that I should be waiting longer before I place the new water in the tank. Normally, I would just...

Hi everyone, I'm on my 2nd go round after my tank of 2.5 years had a crazy phosphate problem (due to my less-than-diligent maintenance of the DSB). I wanted your advice on filtration for the new system. It's going to be another FOWLR w/ a 2-3" DSB (I guess that would be a SBD then?). Here's...

This guy just finished his first year of dental school and was in the middle of moving. He knew he would not have time to properly care for the system anymore. He had been trying to sell his set up for a few weeks and only sold one large rock with some leathers on it. He posted on another...
