Agreed, as it is that blue tang will get to large for your tank, i think it is recommended that they be in a 125g tank or atleast a 6ft tank.

What is your ph at? How long has your tank been running? If your tank has just recently been set up you should just let it sort itself out rather then adding more chemicals to the mix which you will then have to continue to test for.

A biotope like Roka suggested would be cool or maybe a species tank. A snowflake eel would be pretty cool or something like a peacock mantis

stomatella (sp?)

Do you have any more info on the mh retro kit? electronic ballast? dimensions?

am toying with the option of using an led panel to light my nano tank. I like the idea of not having to change out my bulbs each year, or even more then that, and also my hood gets quite hot for the bulbs that are currently in there. It is only a small tank with a footprint of 12"x12" so I wont...

I now have my 15 gallon high tank cycling and I have decided to go with a pair of clowns( unsure which kind yet any suggestions?) and a clown goby for my inhabitants. What I was windering though is it possible to get an anenome in a smaller nano tank and if so what kind? I am not interested in...

For an idea of which fish are best for beginners and if they are compatable or not you should have a look at www.liveaquaria.com . they have a listing of fish best suited for the beginner and there should be all the specs on what they eat, water temperature, there temperment, and there should...

IMO that seems like an awful lot of food to be feeding just two fish. Do you feed every evening? I believe you are only supposed to feed what the fish can eat in 3-5 minutes. You would probably be fine feeding only 1 cube and the seaweed daily.

Like others I am going after the hair algea in my tank. I have been doing frequent water changes with ro water, I have been picking out what I can, I have cut my lights back, and I have been trying to cut back on feeding. Now I am looking to try some sort of phosphate removal media. I dont have...

DO you plan on putting any live rock in this system? also a skimmer is not needed on a 20gal especially one with such a small bioload

LPS stands for large polyp stoney, and SPS stands for small polyp stoney. they are just different classifaications of colors. Sps corals tend to require MH lighting where as Lps tend to be able to kept under lower light such as ccCapt said. As for compatbility i believe all the fish you...

Its not that they dont want to help you learn its that they dont want you to learn at the expense of your tanks inhabitants. You can sucessfully have a 10gal SW tank but you must look into what inhabitants you want. Judging by the your oictures it looks like it is a damsel which is better then...

I would suggesting trying to find somewheres where you can purchase ro water. I started off using tap water and now i am kicking myself. You will have such a rough time trying to control algea. It is worht the extra little money to purchase a unit ( cheap on ebay) or finding somewhere to...

Hair algea feeds off the nutrients ( i think mostly phosphates) in your water. It want go away by pulling it out. Do you use ro water? or just tap? Also are you running a phosphate reactor? the phosphate reactor is cheap and will remove the phosphate from your water thus starving the hair algea...
