Sounds good. I just started tearing down the tank because it had previously sprung a leak which is kind of what prompted the rebuild. It is a 76 gallon Oceanic half-round. Not sure where the leak came from so I'm problem going to need to completely re-seal. When I got the tank it was missing the...

Just thought of another question, how does regular maintenance differ between freshwater and saltwater aquariums?

I actually have pool filter sand in the tank now from the previous freshwater set up. Can that be used? Of course, I would rinse it first. About the rock, how much is needed for a 76gallon tank? What is meant by "live rock"? What is the purple and blue colors I have seen on some rock? I am...

Ok so I have decided I think to convert one of my freshwater tanks to saltwater. I have a lot of freshwater experience but this be my first venture into salt. I'd like to consider a reef and this is where I am at. I have an Oceanic 76 gallon half-round tank w/ I think a 30g sump. As far as...

Good advice and noted! I had considered that. I'm no stranger to Severums. I had an 11" Gold not to long ago and yes they need room. I had him in a 76 gallon half round. My thoughts were to get a much smaller one and then down the road, as he grows, upgrade the tank. That would give me the...

I went ahead and three a school of black skirted tetras that I had in another tank. After doing a little more research, keying in on larger fish, I'm thinking about adding s Severum. My biggest concern then though isn't so much the Angels, but the plants being uprooted.

I've read that to be the smallest size tank for a severum. I haven't found anything regarding it's tank mates though other than they can be a community fish. I have had a sevrum before and kep him in a 76 gallon with a Jack Dempsey. For the first few weeks that was an iffy match up but they got...

Those are good suggestions and not off the table but I am trying to think of larger tank mates. For instance, Gold Severum. Has anyone every tried those with Angels?

I've had multiple aquariums for several years so not a newbie. However, I have just set up my first planted freshwater tank and introduced a pair of Gold Veiled Angels. The tank is a 54-gallon quarter round with canister filter. What other fish would make good tank mates? Preferably I would like...

I had the EXACT same group but added a 10" Gold Severum to the mix. The Severum and Livingstonii got in a few fights occasionally but overall did well together. Made a great looking 79g with the 4. Unfortunately, I lost the Severum just today and afraid I may lose my Livingstonii as well. Heater...

Well I thought I'd update....my 9" Jack Dempsey seems to be doing fine as well as my Placo. I lost the 10" Gold Severum. He was seemingly struggling but OK when I left for work this morning but didn't last until I got home. Now I'm worried about 1 of my favorites, a 9" Livingstonii. He's laying...
