I just got a small Blue Tang. Beautiful and healthy for now BUT my fairly small Yellow Tang is hammering him. He nips the Blue and tries to swat him with his tail. This is the 6th hour since adding the Blue. Is this normal? Will the yellow get mellow and finally accept my new Blue? He nipped a...

I just put my first fishes in. Two little clowns. They were already tank-mates at the LFS. They seem healthy and very active and are never apart. I think they are eating. I feed them frozen brine shrimp everyother day. The brine flows all over and I haven't actually seen them go for it. Is this...

Let me start by saying that so far I find these forums the most informative I have found so far. This is my first post so please bear with me. I just picked up a nice 55G w/ oak stand to start a salt FOWLR system. It came with two heaters(don't know the wattage), a Magnum330 filter w/two motors...
