Just wondering if anyone had experience/thoughts on having a lemonpeel angel and a flame angel in the same 55 G tank? I know I will probably have to introduce them at the same time if I want to make them not aggressive to each other, but do you think that will be enough? Currently I have 2 O...

So I just thought I would see if anyone had any opinions on the idea of introducing a coral banded shrimp as my first specimen to my 55 Gallon SW tank. This is my first tank. I've been curing for about a month and have 0 nitrite, nitrate, and ammonia... a steady temp (79F), a steady salinity...

I think I will have to agree with you. I've got two tanks with rock curing, one 50/50 BR LR and the other has pure LR which has finished curing after only 2.5 weeks (nice!) I'll be moving that tank to my permanent 55 gallon tomorrow and then I guess I will try to scrub off the lichen from that...

Yeah its still there. Doesn't seem to be growing/spreading on to the LR, just staying on the baserock. I guess if I can't be sure it is beneficial I'll have to take them out and scrub them again?

Anyone have any ideas?

Oh and yellow stuff was on the rock. The LFS said if it comes back it is pretty sweet looking... maybe he's full of it and I should scrub it off?

Its only on the BR as far as I can see... I scrubbed it with a tooth brush and rinsed it pretty darn well I thought, but Maybe I should do it again. Think I should pull it out of the curing tank and put it in a separate bucket? Thanks!

So this is my first SW tank and I've got about 50/50 LR and Base Rock curing in the tank right now. I left for a couple days and when I come back this is what I see (pictures attached)... Is the white fuzzy stuff normal? I've never noticed it in my freshwater so I thought I should check. It's...

Ok heres a picture... i just noticed last night that my 55 gallon FW w/ guppies and a pleco has a new visitor... It's a little white fuzzy "plant" than has sprouted on a couple of the rocks... It's very tiny and very hard to see as it is semi-clear. Any one know what it is or how to get rid of...

I've got about 20-25 small guppy fry in my 55 Gallon... I just left them in the main display tank. They are about 2 weeks old now and all seem fine. To protect them when they were just born I grabbed some plants from the bottom, tied them together with a small piece of nylon string, and coraled...

pics? Also, just wondering - You think cheap plastic dowels would be SW safe? Way cheaper than buying acrylic threaded deals offline. Here's a link... what do you think? Wilton® Plastic Dowel Rods : decorating accessories : cake & cookie decorating : crafts : Shop | Joann.com

Been researching and posting for a month or two and I've started my build. The idea is to connect my 40 gallon tank with the 20 Gallon, as a psuedo refugium. Here's the progress so far: Erected the stand over the weekend. Nothing flashy, just simple, way too sturdy, and clean. Gives me access...
