Has anyone shopped at saltcritters.com. They are absolutely amazing. I ordered coral frags from them at 5 dollars a piece and their shipping is dirt cheap. Their corals are guarateed and I havent had an issue yet. Try them out

Of course it depends on the fish and how its introduced and the age its added to the tank how it was fed before it was added ect. No matter the studies no matter how much they been observed by marine biologist no scientist or educated/non educated person can set there and say I can tell you how...

If you have enough flow in/out it shouldn't be a problem at all. I have seen it done. Before you buy a overflow box hit me up so your not getting ripped off. I would suggest reeflife.com a double. They make very good overflow boxes and don't require a aqualifter pump. And I recommend a powerful...

Oh ya it would work. No matter how you introduce them I recommend you have several places to hide. Like build a mountain of liverock in one corner with several caves and cracks just in case anything feels threatened they can hide. Your very welcome.

Well you can get an overflow box and go with a Sump that's what I have for my 85g tank. The thing with canister filters is they hold nitrates really really REALLY bad. I have heard numerous issues with nitrate problems with a canister. They require a lot of maintenance. I owned one for maybe a...

I think it would if you play your cards right. Im guessing this is a non drilled tank? Is that why you were thinking canister?

I have a juvie also and I watched him eat a silverside minnow the size of a medium size clown it was pretty amazing how big their mouth is. My opinion is if you start with your least aggressive fish they have already established their dominance and territory. For example if you have a little dog...

I cleaner shrimp avoids my lion at all cost unless he's hungry. That's awsome that yours loves your lion but like Huma Huma says keep an eye on him

I have a pair of black and white clowns in my predator tank and they are the rulers of my 85g tank. They are a naughty pair. Anytime you wanna put you had in the tank they are attacking you and have to be right there watching what your doing.

And it also depends on the amount of lr

I would say it depends on the type of canister but nitrates and nitrites are hard to control with a canister filter. I would just go with a Sump. But that's just me. I have never been a fan of canister filters

I suggest you start off with least aggressive fish being the clown and have him in there for a month or so before you add the more aggressive fish. It's worked for me. Everyone will tell you that your clown might be a snack for your more aggressive species. Look at the thread below titled who...

Well if you think he will be alright go for it. You have seen that it can be done. I have given you all the details that worked for me. Huma Huma might give you their advise on how to make it work. But in the end its on you. Keep us posted.

I have an overflow box on my 85 gallon tank and have to restart the siphon every couple of days. After further research I've learned that if you get a aqua lifter pump for the over flow box it with keep the siphon going. Since I have a drilled tank which is easier I don't have much experience...

Looks amazing. Keep up the good work. Keep us posted please.

Haha ya my yellow tang and my lion do that all the time its like they are sizeing eachother up its hilarious. But my clowns always swim around my lion and he acta like they aren't even there. I wouldn't do it just for the fact your lion was in there first. My opinion is since your lion was...

I'm not too worried about it. If I start worrying I will throw my clowns in my reef tank or try to get a nem for them to host in.

I've had mine all together for a year and a half successful so far

Awsome tank man. Can't wait to see the progress.

I have yellow tang, lion, porciupine puffer, 1 damsel and a pair of black and white clowns. I can't forget my queen conch and cleaner shrimp. 85gs. Absolutely no problems. Everything gets along great. I have heard of a lot of problems with the combinations. But no sign of aggression. I have...

I have a yellow tang. I get my water from lfs but I feel dumb bc this morning I cleaned my circulation pumps and my 1050 wasn't working that was my problem I think and hope.. my elephant ear mushroom is doing something weird though it has weird looking disk particles coming out of it. That's the...
