Just be aware of the fact that the tang will outgrow your tank, and you will need to have a plan on what to do with it when that occurs.
Maybe some more exotic damsels like talbot damsels. They're gorgeous. Almost any goby. A flasher wrasse would do well. Not a school mind you, but a...
I agree with nemo on the shrimp. However I would say get it for the angel (I don't have as much experience with tangs as I do pygmy angels;)), but...
Hello all. I watched these two at a LFS for over a week before I brought them home. The were raised in a 47 gal and are now in a 55. (They were in a...
Definitely do not try to catch him. He would just get to stressed out. Is it just the clowns in there with him? Is he getting any supplemental algae...
Alrighty everyone. Here's the new additions!!! They've already started to swim and ate up all the live brine I threw in with them. They're not...
Okay the new babies are acclimating now. I'll try to get some pics out to you guys soon.:)
You are correct, it depends on what is in it. Fish, corals, what type of corals (some like low flow, other moderate, and even others prefer high)....
I'll post the pics when I can luna.:) Barring unforeseen horrible water quality after a 50% water change, they will get home later tonight. I'm...

Okay, so there is a 'mated pair' of lyretail anthias at a reliable LFS near me. They weren't shipped, someone had them in a 47 gal and brought them...
IMO cleaner shrimp are the way to go. Sure there are always more stubborn cases of it that need a little help, but shrimp (and other cleaners) are...
Blood shrimp are renown for being extremely shy. He's probably going to find a little cave to hide in and not come out. Typically once the fish know...
How big is the display tank? Keep in mind that a pump rated at 1000gal/hour is not actually pumping that into your tank. Any height that it has to...
Well by now you know about the difficulty of the fish you chose. However that is not what you need to be hearing right now. Try not to move the fish...
The SW tank looks good. I agree with previous comments though. Slow down. Also, you need to know what you're putting in your tank(compatibility, tank...
Just put them at the bottom of the tank, maybe under a little ledge if you have one. Gradually pull them out from under the ledge for a few days...
It is the sudden shock of the light change. Put the new corals that were used to the vho at the bottom of the metal halide tank. It is a more intense...
