Ya I figured the peppermint's would be history but all 3 are still there.. No other fish right now, have a yellow tang and a coral beauty in quarantine.. I havent tried garlic on the food yet, I do have the garlic from Kent.. The squid is in the frozen little cubes so its very small.. He hasnt...

I picked up a dwarf lionfish to go in my 90 gal tank, fish store fed him frozen mysis in front of me so I knew he was eating.. Since I've had him(sunday) I havent seen him eat at all.. I tried shrimp, frozen squid,mysis with no luck.. Got some guppies last night and he didnt even give them a...

Purty lookin fish there..

Ya I've read that the salinty is not exact everywhere.. The red sea is is 1.035 or 1.036. I think I will run it at 1.021.. From the reading I have done it says that stability is much more important than the actual number..

yep, i have 12 of em in my 90 gal.. they do a good job

I have a 90 gal tank, has been empty now for 9 weeks after a velvet outbreak.. I am gonna start stocking again soon but have a question about salinity and inverts.. Ive read that its ok to run the tank around 1.018 or so to help keep ick/velvet etc at bay.. I have a few turbo snails, couple...

I setup my QT whenever i need it and take it down when Im done with it. I have an aquaclear hang on filter that I keep the sponge for it in the sump for the DT when its not in use then just fill up QT tank and put sponge into HOB filter.. I also do 20% water change every 3-4 days..

Just wondering how many use a UV sterilizer? Im considering one after a case of velvet wiped out my tank.. My tank has been empty for 8 weeks now.. All fish will be quarantined for minimum 4 weeks before being added to the DT.. Just wondering if adding a UV sterilizer as a last defense if a...

Ya you need to give them time to break in. I have a Skimz skimmer and it took just over 2 weeks to break in but it works like a dream now..

in a 10 Gal, probably not... In a 180 Gal probably be ok..

If I did get an angel it would be a flame angel or a coral beauty.. Not sure if I want to chance it with a lionfish although I think it would be large enough not to become dinner..

From what Ive read I see varying recommendations for minimum tank size for a yellow tang.. As small as a 55 gal up to some saying minimum size is 180 Gal... From most sites I feel the 4ft long thing is the guideline so they have some good swimming room..

Im planning on a dwarf lion, porcupine puffer, harlequin tuskfish, yellow tang and possibly a flame angel..

ok cool, I will just keep an eye on them when I do start to stock again.. What would be the best order to put them in the tank??

Ya, no volitan for me.. Probably either a zebra or a spotfin, will definitely be in the dwarf group..
