I am currently in the process of putting together a drilled 220 gallon tank. It will be at least a year till I can set it up but I almost have everything I need. Only big piece I'm missing is a return pump. I'm going to custom build the stand out of wood which will hold the 75 gallon sump. I...

I have seen much worse make a full recovery. Give him time and good water and he should be fine.

I fed mine NLS and hikari bio gold as a staple and threw in frozen mysis or bloodworms once a week.

If it was me I would try to get fish around the same size. Just dont over do it. Overstocking and moving decor around is good in some instances and bad in others.

I had 1 oscar in a 75 for a little over a year it went from 2 inches to almost 10 in that time period. They grow extremely fast given a good diet and good water maintenance.

My salvini I had wouldn't have got along with plants. She liked to dig up fake ones and make them float. I eventually went with all driftwood in my tank.

Good choice of fish, Salvinis are great. When they do finaly breed I don't suggest having anything else in the tank. They can get extremely aggressive while breeding. Small fish that can pack a big punch.

I pair could work in 6ft tank as long as you watch the aggression and don't let it get out of hand. Keeping more than 1 pair would need 400 + gallons. Even then it might not work. Mi-devils can be nice one day and a demon the next.

My old 8 inch female would do that with anything that went into her tank. Sent from my PantechP9090 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I ran that type of filter on freshwater and always left completely open.

Check the nitrates of the water your adding to the tank. Also idk which test your using but I always got false readings on the api saltwater kit.

A little more than 2 inches

Nope, his eating habits was the same. He would pick around the rocks and substrate all day and tear up brine shrimp when I threw that in.

Got bad news, not adding anything to the tank this weekend. Woke up to a dead scooter blenny this morning. Checked my parameters and all are zero with 10 on my nitrates. Salinity is fine and he was eating good. I did quick exam of the body and did not find any signs of external disease or...

Do you think a kole or yellow tang would work in a 75 gallon?? This is another addition for the future and I havnt decided which I want. I have read many different opinions on minimum tank size for these fish. Also do you think one of those would work with my current stock plus the angel??
