What to buy?

are you getting any fish? as for corals how about a leather finger coral? If you have it sorry but I'm too lazy to look at ur biocube thread XD

 

Most are low to medium light with low to medium flow, but some faviids (like goniastrea) are very high light, high flow species. Research each before you buy to know for sure what you need to provide.

Favia is a genus within the family faviidae, and many faviids will be mislabeled "Favia" when they're really just somewhere in Faviidae, and occasionally will be in an entirely different family, mussidae, which is fairly similar. You need to pay close attention when IDing these guys, or the ID will be wrong - and it frequently is at quite a few "less discerning" LFSs. Here's a reference link that's pretty good to help ID faviids.

 

I'm not sure. I can double check. I know that the one I want doesn't have any brown. It's deep red and metallic green. but compared to LiveAquaria.... Theirs are $30-40 Maybe it wasn't an open brain, but it sure as heck looked like one.

 

Thanks for the summary. I was looking into the one that's purple with neon green craters, but I google imaged the goniastrea and saw a pic that looked like one I wanted. when an HQI would come in handy...

 

Not even close. XD If anything, I need to get rid of some fish.
I love finger corals, especially the devils hand. > I'm not sure of the cost of those, I'll have to consider it though.

 

yeah the devil fiinger coral looks really awesome, and as for fish I meant are you getting rid of the tang and replacing it?

 

Not yet; I've gotta heal his Ich before I return him to the LFS.. it's funny how much personality he has; he begs for food whenever I open the top. Im not starving them either; I feed flakes about 5 times a day, and he's always got Nori on hand. I know this might be another mistake, but I'm wondering if I return him , if I might be able to get a Hippo Tang. I can get them at 3/4 inch and return it if he gets too big. but I don't want it to be unhappy.

 

oh hes got ick... well use hypo; best treatment IME ehhh a hippo tang? I personally wouldnt because no matter how small it'll get bigger pretty quickly. how about... 2 firefish?

 

Are they not agressive to like species in only a 29?

 

I dunno... I think they'd be picked on, my long nose is pretty aggressive. So is my Coral Banded. I was thinking a six line, but then I remembered how my old one mysteriously disappeared after 2 weeks. Call me stupid, but the first tank I ever had was a 5 gallon. I was 7 years old and had pair of false perc clowns, a hippo, and a serpent star.. That small tank was up and running for about 2 years. Nothing died, nothing grew. Those two years the hippo grew maybe 1/4 of an inch. It was a bad idea, but they lived in harmony. Until I was switching the fish to my biocube and my hippo fell on the floor. He survived, but got Ich and died 3 months later.. any other suggestions?

Edit: and I had my Coral Banded in the 5 gal. Same one is still alive today.
