I'd like to purchase a male Naso Tang for my 125- I have received conflicting information from 2 local fish stores so, I bring the situation to you the experts: Store # 1 has a juvenile Naso (2-3") that they are telling me is male- said he will develop the streamers on his fin as he matures...

I'm upgrading to a 125 gal reef tank...wondering if i would be OK with 1 Seio 2600 ph or should I go with 2 1100 ph's? Thanks for your input!

I just returned from the beach today- brought back a bunch of shells, can these be put in my tank or is that a bad idea? If so, what sort of cleanining should be done? (none of them had critters still living inside...I threw back the ones being inhabited!)

for weeks my remora c protien skimmer has been working like a charm. last week, it simply stopped producing. no foam in the tower and nothing in the collection cup. I removed it, cleaned the power head and replaced the unit...still nothing. Should I be concerned?

ok- found used 125 gal tank & stand in paper today for $450- talked to them and found out it is 6 yrs old- comes with stand and lights- no hood- said nothing wrong with it but, might want to run a bead of silicone around just as a precaution. So....first does this sound like a pretty good deal...

So, I've determined that a tang of any sort is not suitable for my 46 gal tank. BUT...what if the long term plan is for a much bigger tank...150 or more...would the tang be OK in the smaller tank for the short term...maybe a year or so?

I've been doing a lot of reading and have seen conflicting opinions on freshwater baths. Some sites suggest 'dipping' fish in fresh water before placing them in the main tank. I've also read that its an effective method to rid your fish of ick and other parasites. And, I've been told that it is...

I'm trying to cut back on trips to the lfs- looking in to purchasing a RO/DI unit of my own- any brand suggestions?

Last week I switched from a hob filter to the remora protien skimmer, it seems that the current in my 46 gallon tank is not very strong anymore- I have 1 maxijet 1200 along with the one that attaches to the skimmer. Yesterday when I got home from work, my star polyp that I've had for about 6...
