I am currently in the process of putting together a drilled 220 gallon tank. It will be at least a year till I can set it up but I almost have everything I need. Only big piece I'm missing is a return pump. I'm going to custom build the stand out of wood which will hold the 75 gallon sump. I...

I have seen much worse make a full recovery. Give him time and good water and he should be fine.

I fed mine NLS and hikari bio gold as a staple and threw in frozen mysis or bloodworms once a week.

If it was me I would try to get fish around the same size. Just dont over do it. Overstocking and moving decor around is good in some instances and bad in others.

I had 1 oscar in a 75 for a little over a year it went from 2 inches to almost 10 in that time period. They grow extremely fast given a good diet and good water maintenance.

My salvini I had wouldn't have got along with plants. She liked to dig up fake ones and make them float. I eventually went with all driftwood in my tank.

Good choice of fish, Salvinis are great. When they do finaly breed I don't suggest having anything else in the tank. They can get extremely aggressive while breeding. Small fish that can pack a big punch.

I pair could work in 6ft tank as long as you watch the aggression and don't let it get out of hand. Keeping more than 1 pair would need 400 + gallons. Even then it might not work. Mi-devils can be nice one day and a demon the next.

My old 8 inch female would do that with anything that went into her tank. Sent from my PantechP9090 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I ran that type of filter on freshwater and always left completely open.

Check the nitrates of the water your adding to the tank. Also idk which test your using but I always got false readings on the api saltwater kit.

A little more than 2 inches

Nope, his eating habits was the same. He would pick around the rocks and substrate all day and tear up brine shrimp when I threw that in.

Got bad news, not adding anything to the tank this weekend. Woke up to a dead scooter blenny this morning. Checked my parameters and all are zero with 10 on my nitrates. Salinity is fine and he was eating good. I did quick exam of the body and did not find any signs of external disease or...

Do you think a kole or yellow tang would work in a 75 gallon?? This is another addition for the future and I havnt decided which I want. I have read many different opinions on minimum tank size for these fish. Also do you think one of those would work with my current stock plus the angel??

Thanx for the advice, I will wait to add it then.

I should have said I am adding more fish. My cycle was complete on December 2 and on December 5 I added an oc clown and i got a free scooter blenny from a friend. I was worried I the blenny would be a picky eater but he loves brine shrimp so I got lucky. Its hard because I'm impatient but I wait...

I went with the live rock and shrimp, currently i am fully cycled with 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and 10ppm nitrate. I am adding fish to it this weekend.

I have spent the last month gathering supplies and doing as much research as i can and I think I am finaly ready to set up my tank. I am starting with a 75 gallon tank with a 30 gallon sump system. My return pump does 1200 gph. I also got a coralife 125 super skimmer (not the best but i couldn't...

I got 40lbs of the exact same sand new in the package off craigslist for cheap from somebody so im good to go on my substrate. Next purchase will be a protein skimmer. I am hoping to have this tank up and running by the end of next month.

I went out and traded for a return pump with a flow rate of 600 gph. So hopefully that will work just fine. Im not sure when i will start adding corals and get into reefing. My plans was to get the basics down first and have this tank running for at least a year. My next question is what would...

Thanx for the feedback, i will adjust flow rate and look into a different skimmer.

I have been keeping freshwater tanks for many years and now I am looking to find a new challenge in fishkeeping. Saltwater is something that I have always wanted to do and I am finally prepared to do it but I wish to take my time and do it right. I am going to start with a fish and live rock...

I have no clue if its a deep water hap not good with africans, but i agree it doesnt look like hlle or hith it looks like damage from hitting his head.

I went with baby brine shrimp. Thanx for everybody's help. I never planned on breeding angels it happened by accident. My angel tank busted a seal so I had to take my angels to a buddies house. A week later and I'm still trying to get a replacement tank and he calls me and says one of my angels...
