Anyone else noticed that LA has bumped up their tank size recommendations for their dwarf angels? Now they're saying 55-70 gallons, depending on species. Wonder why they changed ot so dramatically....

Just wondering what folks thought of this combo: Kessil A150W in 15000K and a pair of Ecoxotic PAR 38 with the 6 blue, 4 white, and 2 red lights. I would put the Kessil in the middle, and a PAR 38 on each side. I am looking to get lighting to pop some of the corals in my tank, especially my...

I have a BRS RO/DI that has mysteriously lost all pressure and will not produce. I have changed out all the filters, blocks, and the RO membrane, and still nothing. It's even worse than before! There is no change in the pressure of the water coming out of the faucet when the RO is disconnected...

Is it really as easy as cutting a piece off, acclimating it to the new tank, and letting it grow? I ask because it is getting to be time to frag some of my SPS in my tiny tank and would like to relocate the frags to my bigger tank. When I received my frags initially, the one birdsnest had a...

Just curious about some behavior I observed between my angels last night. They had squirreled themselves away in a hole and were swimming around each other in the tight confines. First my African Flameback would swim sideways and vibrate, then swim in a circle around the Cream. Then they would...

Well, my tiny tank seems to be overrun with the stuff. There's only so much i can do without sacrificing my corals, which i really don't want to do if i can avoid it. So how worried should i be about the stuff? I know it's unsightly, and i am manually removing what i can as well as increasing...

I'm looking to order the rock for my 50 gallon restart. The stock list includes 2 lionfish, dwarf angel, maroon clowns, and maybe a Christmas wrasse. I am going to be trialing some coral frags from my other tanks on the off chance that the angel will leave them alone. If it does, great, and if...

Here's my 1st post for the contest, although my tank has been up since February 22, 2012. Params as follows: pH 7.9 Ammo 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0 Temp 77 deg Farenheit SG 1.026 via refractometer Stock List: a pair of percs (Nemo and Dagny) CUC: 1 nerite, 10 nassarius, 10 dwarf ceriths Corals: 1...

Ok, I'm finalizing the stock list for the FOWLR (possibly softie, but not guaranteed) I'm starting this summer, and I'm thinking I want to add a wrasse of some sort. The current list (not in the tank, obviously, just on paper ATM) includes a Lemonpeel Angel, a pair of Maroon Clowns, an Antennata...

So my heretofore healthy Caribbean Blue Tang, Hermione, has developed a damaged gill plate in the last week. She is exhibiting a somewhat increased respiratory rate, but otherwise seems completely healthy. No white spots, swimming around just fine, and eating like a pig. I feed nori sheets...

Mauritius Gem Tang. What a stunning fish.............. There are certainly some others as well! Like the RCT Hybrid Dwarf Angel. Or a Peppermint Angel And of course, the Conspicuous Angel too. Those are just gorgeous. Oh the reef I would build if I had an unlimited budget......but...

Found this little guy cruising around on my rocks. I haven't seen it chewing any corals, but I didn't put it in there, so I'm suspicious. Thread title says it all!

This has been in my new tank since I set it up at the beginning of this year. I'm assuming it rode the rocks that I got at the same time I purchased my new tank. It's shown a little growth, but doesn't appear to move. I have no clue what it is, but it's kinda interesting....

So I know I want to add a Flame Angel to my 90, but I've been reading on centropyge.net that, similar to clowns, angels can do really well in pairs if paired up young. The centropyge website also notes that if angels are kept in pairs, the aquarist is able to observe social behaviors that would...

So I have several small (1 cm or less) white tubes that have started growing out of my uppermost rocks. They appear to have teeny tiny crowns on top of them, but I haven't noticed them withdrawing into the tubes. I don't think they're bad; I just don't know what they are. I have a couple...

I'm in quite a quandry now. I had ordered a lemonpeel mimic tang through liveaquaria a week and a half ago, but they ran out before they could fill my order. They left me the option of leaving the order open for a couple weeks in case they got any more in, but i'm thinking I may need to make a...

Well, here's the start of my 10 gallon ! This is going to give me something interesting to watch when I'm cooking, washing dishes, or whatever other kitchen chores I might have to do...... Sand is in. 10 lbs of dry rock, 2 koralia 240 gph powerheads, and a heater are on the way from BRS...

Checked my levels today, just for kicks, and found my salinity to be 1.028. Some of it was from evap while I had my sump down changing overflows, but not all of it...... I try to keep it at 1.025-1.026. How quickly can I lower it without shocking the tank?

Well, I have an extra 10 gallon tank that I'm going to be making into a mini reef in my kitchen (thanks for the idea Brittany; I totally needed something to stare at while eating and cooking, cuz those activities are BORING!). I have all the equipment for it anyway, except a powerhead, proper...

Ok, so I'm preparing to add a tang (as soon as LA or another reputable online fishie source gets a White Tail Bristletooth in stock), and I need some feeding info. I know about their veggie requirments of Nori, seaweed sheets, etc as well as needing meaty bits too. But I'm wondering about...
