I had decided to setup a reef tank. Having made that decision, I figured the best way to go about it was to read the saltwater sections of my aquarium books, the stickies, and the saltwater forums for a bit- I thought maybe about six weeks or so would be good. If you've heard the one about the...

I just received an early christmas gift... I couldn't understand why, after moving my two angelfish to a new, 110 gallon tank, any additional angels I added soon died. However, I was cleaning the tank today to make sure it was pretty when people showed up for thanksgiving, and noticed the...
