You have to act responsibly. One of the main problems i find and hear about on this magnificent forum is of people who have a nice tank setup and then, because they want more fish but won't/can't increase their tank size, they just add more fish. Ok so your community is ok right now but it won't...

That will be my pleasure... I just need to find all the gear now... I'm in the UK and we don't have wonderful places like LiveAquaria and Craigslist.

Right. I'll make "Peach" my last addition then...

Thanks for that. It was really helpful. Although in a 55g all i can have is a clown, a 4 stripe damsel and a royal gramma basslet. I can't really have a blue or yellow tang cos they need upwards of 70g, the same for a longnoe butterfly... So i can have Nemo, Deb and Gurgles. I will get Jaques...

You guys are just great. Thanks. I'd already started to look into the whole cast thing. Dori is no good as she'd need more space. I can't have a Moorish Idol either (Gill). I could have a butterfly fish though... i think. I'm gonna try and find out what the whole cast is in terms of species...

So by a mature tank you mean that i couldn't just setup a tank and they'd be my first inhabitants? I'd have to have had the tank up and running for how long? Years, months?

Brilliant. Thanks

Great! Thanks for all of your help. You don't happen to know the species of fish that feature in finding nemo do you?

So do i have to have an anemone for my clown or will it be happy in a FOWLR tank? With it being my first attempt at Saltie tanks then i want to try and make it as easy as possible. I'd really like to have as many of the colourful fish that feature in the Finding Nemo film cos my little boy will...

Ah! Gotcha! Thanks..

What do you guys mean by "clean up crew"? Sorry i'm new to this and i figure it's best to ask when i don't know something.

Great. Which set up would i be better with if i wanted to keep clownfish?

Right well my first question would be "what's the difference between FOWLR and Reef?" The other thing I was wondering was what are the species of fish that feature in "Finding Nemo"? Not the big ones obviously! And can these speciaes be homed with each other effectively? thanks again. Smidge

Hi Guys, I've been keeping fish for many years but they've always been FW. I've had tons of great advice from this site and you fab guys on this forum but unfortunately i'm dipping the bucket into the well of knowledge once more. Please feel free to point me in another direction if you like but...

I may be just being stupid but i don't quite get it. Do they attach to your tap? If so then how do you check for temperature and add dechlor?
