$1 per gallon was the LFS's price. He said just get a big empty gas can and bring it and they'll fill it up (obviously a never before used gas can)

This is one of the things I was worried about with if I had one.

Which do you use. I know RO units save money in the long run, just curious what everyone uses. I'm a bit hesitant to just buy RO water because it's over $1 a gallon.

Just an update. There was miscommunication between my friend and I, she was selling me the tank, not just giving it like i had originally thought. she's offering the tank and stand for 100. I went by the really big saltwater dealer in town who is really knowledgeable and has high end stuff for...

Sound like good logic to me. I'll remember that when I get to stocking the tank. Gotta find a truck first to get the tank to my place lol. My little car won't fit a large aquarium in it.

I remember reading angels should always go in last. But I am curious, why the clowns before the chromis? If what I've read holds true, the chromis are more peaceful than the clowns and stocking order *usually* goes peaceful to aggressive.

Alright. So I can get the angel the right food today while I'm at work. I think as far as the tank goes I'll go with the flame angel, 2 clowns, and 3 orange line chromis. I'll add the dragonet later once I find one that accepts frozen food and the tank has been up and has had time to settle in.

Sounds good. I'll pick some up tomorrow when I get off work. As for the cultivating pods I'll keep researching. Cause I really want a green mandarin, but I want to make sure I can keep him happy and healthy for a long time

I'm thinking maybe making a separate tank to cultivate pods would work well. Another question. I know angels eat marine algae, I've seen it sometimes advertised as seaweed. Is this what I want? can anyone recommend a brand?

Very true. I know when I feed my freshwaters I like to get a variety. Are any of those products available at petsmarts or petcos? or will I need to go to a saltwater specialty store or online? Either is fine, I'm just trying to wrap my head around feeding marine fish. As for pods I did some...

Great info! Ok, first question, I keep hearing the term pod, what does that mean or what is it? By frozen food do you mean like the frozen cubes of brine shrimp I buy at the pet stores? I feed the Hikari Brine Shrimp to my freshwater fish.

Thanks for the info, that's why I try to stock based on their adult growth and not current. Plus i find it easier to figure out adult size than take a ruler with me to the fish store lol. I'm thinking 1 Flame Angel 2 Ocellaris Clowns 3 Orange Lined Chromis And maybe a Saddle Puffer but I'm...

No no, thanks for the advice. I wasn't sure what kind of cut off I should assume since I know saltwater stocking is much more restricted than freshwater. 6 sounds good. Are you saying a few years down the road I might be able to add one or two more? if not that's ok. I'd be content with just 5...

So after doing some more digging I've found that the Agile Chromis and Acares Midget Reef Chromis are semi aggressive. So they are more aggressive than your standard green/blue chromis, but not quite at the level of your normal damsels. I decided either the Blue Reef or the Orange Line...

Hmm alright. I'll do some more digging before I decide to take them home.

Right, I remember reading damsels are fierce when they get older. Do you know if any of those I listed have a temperament closer to the blue green reef chromis?

do you mean as far as schooling or just getting along in general?

I'm thinking of getting some Blue Reefs, Agiles, and Acares Midget Reefs

What are your feelings on chromis? I saw the blue reef chromis, agile chromis, and the acares midget reef chromis.

Which puffers do you recommend? I was looking at the ones on Liveaquaria.com and most of them seem to be for 70+ gallon systems.
