are you supposed to cycle a barebottom quarantine tank?

I know green chromis are usually kept in schools, so would it be "mean" to buy only one?

Hey guys, what are your opinions on the best pygmy angelfish for my 29gal fowlr? The only other fish in it are a pair of ocellaris clowns. My favorite atm is the lemonpeel (centropyge flavissima) but I've read they aren't hardy at all and basically shouldn't be bothered with... any thoughts?

I was at the beach today and had an epiphany...lol why do u have to buy LR for $8/lb, if you live on a coast, can't you just collect rocks from the ocean????

Yesterday my yellowtail damsel died suddenly. My o. clowns seemed and still LOOK perfectly fine but this morning when I tried feeding them they both weren't eating......help? I tested the water yesterday and got 0 for ammonia/nitrite/nitrate, and did a pwc In case it's a bacterial/parasitic...

My yellowtail damsel is just sitting in the sand underneath an overhang of LR and is breathing very rapidly, sometimes even laying on its side. This is very sudden and VERY unlike him, who usually darts around like he runs the place I have to move the 30 gallon tank he's in downstairs in a few...

nudi i found in my tank recently: obviously he's quite small as you can see he's on a thermometer lol it's kind of hard to tell from the photos but he has tiny white dots speckled on his back and on the tips of his antenae id anyone?????? :confused:

I have a 29G (30"long/16"deep) fowlr tank with a 24" T5 fluorescent (17w/8000K). I am thinking about converting it to a reef; is this lighting enough to support corals like zoanthids and mushrooms or will I need to upgrade?

How much lighting (flourescent) is needed for a 5G reef tank about 9 inches deep? The hood can only hold 1 lightbulb is that a problem?

I am starting a 5.5 nano reef soon and was wondering for my clean-up crew, which would be the better choice: hermit crabs (probably blue-legged) or snails? And how many?

ok i realize this picture is horrible, iam not an artist lol but anyway the little guy in actual size is less than a centimetre in length, I found him on my LR, I'm guessing it's a nudibranch but I don't know the first thing about them, so HELP ME ANYONE? I need ID asap!!! i moved him to a...

I found this guy in my tank recently, anyone know what kind of slug it is? He's pretty big especially when his body is fully stretched out (he's kind of ball-ish in this photo), maybe around 2.5-3"? I circled his head in case it was unclear lol

So I want to set up a new 5G nano reef tank, but I have no experience with corals. Any suggestions of nice, small, hardy, easy-to-care-for corals?

I've had these guys for just under a year now and I have not seen any signs of... "intimacy". Why? Are they too young still? Is it because I don't have an anenome in my tank? Is an anenome absolutely necessary aren't there other ways to encourage breeding? If an anenome is what they want I am...

anyone know what this is? :s

Is a protein skimmer really necessary for a FOWLR tank?

I am interested in the Yellow Tang. I probably won't be acquiring one anytime soon, as I think my tank is too small (29 gallons). But I was wondering for future reference, what would I need to properly accomodate one?(ie. tank size, live rock, etc.) Also any information about their...

Hey everyone, I was just wondering, would I be able to acquire a Coral Beauty and a Flame Angel and keep them together in a 29 gallon FOWLR tank? (There is 22lbs. of LR in the tank.) I am in love with both but I don't want to end up with conflict within the tank!
