A fellow member of my local salt club has a monster tank, an in wall 700ish gallon. He currently has a bunch of random fish, and a cat shark. He is considering putting in a blue spotted ray. Will these two live together okay? I can see a lot of fighting, considering theyre both bottom dwellers...

Sounds like you have a good LFS. Mine talked me into buying a snowflake eel for my community tank for $25. Because theyre such friendly things, and wont bother anybody in the tank(all of my fish are under 2"). What a crock of shit. I got home, threw him in, did some research to find out what his...

Okay here goes, sorry this is so long... I started a tank, because i wanted to keep my favorite fish, a dogface puffer. After doing lots of research, and asking a lot of people, I decided it should be okay to put one in my tank with my current livestock. Here is what my tank looked like...

It was most likely the other firefish. I've heard multiple things about firefish. Some people say keep them in pairs, some say solitary, some even say 3s. Mine was always shy, keeping to itself all the time. I decided to get it a couple of buddys to see if they would be fine. Well all three...

I know its been a while, but any chance you still have that koralia?

Funny how your original auction didnt sell, so you relisted it for more money, and then someone bought it lol.

I've got two 48" flourescent single bulb fixtures with built in ballasts. They sell new at LFS and petsmarts for $89.99. I am willing to sell them for $60 each or $100 for both. They both will include brand new bulbs never used, as i swapped them with coralifes as soon as i opened them. They are...

What exactly is head space? Is that how high vertically it was push the water?

So it's a 90 gallon tank, and I'm going to probably use a 55 gallon sump. It will be a probably 4-5 foot lift for the return. Should I match the pump gph with the CPR overflow gph? Also what size should I use? Is 700gph too slow? Too fast?

Thank you messiah. That is the exact information I was lookin for! Also... Say I wanted to set up a sump to get rid of all of the in tank accessories... What does that require? And how hard would it be?

Right, no sump. I would love to have a sump, seeing as how I have an extra 20gal laying around, but I do not know he first thing about how they work or anything. So 2 more #3s? And where about on the tank k should all of my powerheads be placed and aimed?

So I have a question about powerheads. I have attached a quick drawing of how my tank is currently set up. Here are what the numbers represent: 1. Protein skimmer outlet(Octopus HOB 800S) 2. Protein skimmer intake 3. Canister filter outlet(Marineland C-360) 4. Heater(rated for 75 gallons...

Great deal, but I rent, I cannot be altering the kitchen sink lol. Is there anything a little more simple? Something you can just pour water in, and let it filter through?

The tang was about 4 inches long, pretty decent size. I'm not sure how big it has to be before the inverts are no threat. I have a drop test kit. I suppose i'll start using that instead. Can anyone give me a link to a cheap, but effective ro/di unit? It doesnt need to be huge. 2-5 gpd would...

Theyre for sale on craigslist right now, $5 for both. If i dont have any takers by wednesday, i'll just give them to petco or something. Is the emerald crab fine? Or is that one a threat too?

Is it possible either the crab, or the shrimp caught it while it was asleep? It was acting completely fine last night, it ate its nighttime meal around 8pm, lights went off at 9.

I dont know the exact numbers, i'll see if I can get those later tonight. What sort of testing kits do you guys use? I just use the test strips, and read off of the colors, to see if they match the container...

So good news. My naso tang started eating finally. I got it some slow sink pellets and soaked them in kent garlic extreme. It started eating the pellets, then moved on to frozen brine and mysis(still fed pellets as well). This went on for about a week, looked very happy, moved a lot. This...

I did a google image search on pink tip anemone and there are a few pictures, if you follow the first link it's to a site that speciically says "these cute anemones are perfect for a nano tank, reproduce quick, but do not sting others like Majano or aiptasia." Are these things pests? I don't...

The ones in the first picture turn into knobs at night, then bloom with my lights daily. I've never seen pictures of aiptasia or majano with lime green/bright pink tips..
