IMO yellow tangs (and all Zebrasoma genus tangs) get too big for a 4' tank. They are very active fish and swim a lot. This is just my opinion but the...
You might have issues with 3 clowns. 2 of them will likely pair up eventually and may harass the third. Also be careful with lawnmower blennies. Make...
It probably depends where it's coming from. I personally would check all of your pumps and heaters and any other electricity source. Any stray...
That actually sounds like a pretty good estimate. Keep in mind it is only a general guideline I believe it is referring only to fish. For overall...
Those look like nice overflow boxes and I agree 100% about not using HOB/siphon overflow boxes. I could never sleep at night with one of those things...
My impression is that there will probably be "something" in there depending on how it was shipped and handled and how old it is etc you may get more...
Some people have added more chromis to an existing group successfully, others have not. Seems to be a crap shoot, or has something to do with size of...
This is what I'm running on my 75g for bulbs. I think the Aquasun and Aquablue do a good job of balancing out the blue so far. Front to back (if I...
Depending how large those fish are you're potentially overstocked especially since you didn't mention any form of nutrient export (skimmer, refugium...
LiveAquaria is the only place I've gotten fish from, everything was perfect with them. I got some snails from bluezooaquatics and would go back...
Also to clarify are you referring to just sump flow or overall flow in the tank? I like 5x-10x the display volume through the sump but 30x+ overall...
T5 is a great option for 2' tanks IMO. You could get away with a 2 bulb fixture most likely for most softies (there are some that like higher light)....
For anemones and clams I think you would probably be better off with 250w MH lights. I'm not sure you'll have room to fit 4 T5's as well as the MH in...
+1 on are you sure you're not talking about a mantis shrimp? If you do really mean a pistol shrimp, you will very rarely (probably never) see it...
I think they're really cool, I have one right now. I'm hoping more show up eventually. Like Tom said, beneficial. As long as that's what it is what...
Be very careful doing a DIY siphon overflow, make sure you understand the danger in them in case of power outages and in case of accidental siphon...
Yeah, there's nothing technically wrong with running extra gph through the sump but it's just not necessary and using extra electricity and adding...
Elos for quick alk tests, salifert for everything else.
The only thing is that you're not always aware of when you have a break in the skin, there are lots of micro-cuts and abrasions that can still let...
Just be aware that if you tee off the return pump you'll only be able to remove as much water as your sump holds in your return section before it...
