Sailfins and all Tangs are herbivores and they're natural "grazers" so he'll constantly be looking for algae, etc. to pick off of the rocks. You should feed him algae sheets with garlic extract at least every other day. I feed my tangs some algae sheets every day, but I also have alot of Tangs...

But the problem with those is once you get them comfortable in your tank, they'll ask to be moved to a tank in South Beach.

This is a quote from you yesterday....If your Nitrites were zero, your LFS would've said. "Your Nitrites are zero". Here's what happened to you. You moved a tank that was already setup. You stirred up the shit that was in the tank, which caused it to start a cycle. You had an initial...

Me no habla english Se'nor. :mrgreen:

As I told you yesterday, and we told you 3 weeks ago, your tank is cycling. You can continue to look for some other answer, but you're not going to find it. Your tank is cycling, proven by the fact that you are doing massive water changes and the nitrate levels stay the same. When the tank...

Top notch on everything...EXCEPT...The Pajama Cardinals...really? I expected so much more from you..Pajama Cardinals. All this imagination went into the tank, and you decided you want to fill it with cardinals....Ughhh, I think it's safe to say you've got a little too much desert dust in your...

When are you gonna put fish in there?:D hhahahah

Sure it's possible if you take care and know exactly what you're doing. Unfortunately, this was really your first endeavor, so it went a little wonky. Best bet is to move the livestock for a few weeks or risk a possible complete crash. Here's the deal. Ammonia burns the flesh of fish...

Stop talkin about it, and get them in there. It's better for them than a tank that is cycling.:D

Ok. so you've got probably at least another 2 weeks before the nitrates start to drop down to respectable levels. We have the same tank..Things happen much slower in our tanks than others because of the amount of water. A 55-75g tank may cycle signifcantly faster than our tanks, just because...

Right...Low is not ZERO. Your tank is cycling. It's nearing the end of the cycle, but it's still cycling. Are you starting to see brown sand in pockets of the tank?

No, he's just scared shitless that Wonton is gonna pull him outta there and eat him.:D That's a helluva skimmer Wonton.

Your tank is cycling, plain and simple. No matter how much water you change the nitrates are going to stay high...You could empty it, fill it right back up and your nitrates would be high.. You bought the tank 3 weeks ago, some of the rock, etc had some die off, and it's cycling again. After...

sometimes what people think are "particles" are actually microbubbles of water, generally from return pumps or powerheads that are mixing with air somehow.

LA Lakers (besides being a bunch of douchebags) are zoanthids. Purple and Yellow. In regard to where and how you put them in your tank, it depends on the specific coral. Duncans for example, like flow..but not a ton of it. If they get too much flow, they won't open up all the way. You...
