    L. Ocellatus

    Does anyone have experience keeping them? I plan on doing a 40B or a 55 standard with them. I know the ph is between 8 and 8.4 and that there should be multiple shells per fish with a deep sand bed. I don't know much else on keeping them. Any advice on where to get them and such?

    20 gallon long Clownfish tank.

    Sweet. I have been shopping around for rock. I'll be moved in in a month and my budget is $750 for this tank. Of course about $200 will be spent on the live rock. Lol. I plan on doing the HOB filter acting kinda like a refugium type deal. Stuff it with media and leave the top off and add a small...

    20 gallon long Clownfish tank.

    So I'll shoot for a pound and a half per gallon. I'm very methodical. I'm going to buy my tank and equipment. Then set up and fill. As soon as that's done, I'll order my live sand. Once the sand has been set up and ordered, I'm ordering my rock. Either all live rock or a LR/DR 60/40 blend. Is...

    Are the numbers correct on my rock? Or is that too much?

    20 gallon long Clownfish tank.

    Sweet. So a slightly larger tank for the pair I would be good. I will have them and a smaller clean up crew as well as a pound of rock per 2 gallons of water. I want a very natural looking tank so I can have my own bit of the ocean. Lol.

    20 gallon long Clownfish tank.

    I apologize. My wording was wrong. I knew they weren't schooling. I just meant like a trio or foursome by the group reference. I want to do the larger footprint type tank, so maybe a upgrade to a larger L or B tank might be what's called for. I'm in the planning process now so I have lots of...

    20 gallon long Clownfish tank.

    Hello all. I'm soon to be moving into a new home and have decided to jump into FOWLR saltwater. I want a 20L clownfish tank. Is there any species that would work better? i will be using aquacultured for sure. I know they are group fish, so I was wondering how many this size tank would require...

    Thinking of getting into saltwater

    My thoughts were leaving the tank set up with just the live rock for a month or two after the cycle to just kinda make sure I have the hang of it before I start incorporating stock. I may try and convince my fiancée that we can fit one more 55 in and set it up for a true coral reef tank. :) they...

    Thinking of getting into saltwater

    I'm also close to the coast so I considered doing a native caught tank. If fish can live in Galveston's water than I know they are hardy. Lol.

    Thinking of getting into saltwater

    I have a spare 10 gallon tank. My girlfriend has expressed a ton of interest in a saltwater tank. I've kept freshwater fish for the last 13 years. I was wondering what type of nano fish might work in the 10g or if it might have to be a coral only tank. Any advice on set up or stocking would be...

    Any advice?

    Girlfriend decided since she is living here now she has a say. Lol. So my endler colony became a neon school with black Kuhlis. Current stocking is: 20x Neons 6x black Kuhlis I'm thinking of getting a rainbow fish school for the center piece but I'm not sure which one will fit in with my guys.

    Pygmy Raspboras?

    I have to find a new place to get them if I decide to go that route. I looked at AZgardens.com and then read reviews and I do say, I feel like a fish abused for even contemplating orders from that site.

    Any advice?

    I apologize for the picture quality it was taken on panorama with my iPhone. Getting some Anubia and random clippings from a guy in town all lowlight. Going today to pick up my Kuhlis to go with my couple of endler hybrids and plethora of bladder snails. I want to stick with small peaceful...

    Pygmy Raspboras?

    Boraras maculatus. I have never seen nor heard of them. They seem like they would be the be all of Nano fish species. Anybody have any experience with them?

    55 gallon tank stock ideas

    I have done some more research and I think I would like to start a endler colony. With my dark substrate, I had intentions on planting it previously, and the dark wall behind it I believe the little guys would pop amazingly. :) Would I have to plant it to have them? Or could I just add more DW...

    55 gallon tank stock ideas

    Appreciate it pard. And I for sure will. I haven't seen many people with non cichlid tanks the way I'm doing so it might be a little different.

    55 gallon tank stock ideas

    Forgot to mention, it's a open water type hard scape. A few pieces of driftwood and a bridge that I've had in every tank since I was 7. Lol.

    55 gallon tank stock ideas

    I am looking to do a hardscape only 55 tank. The tank is set up and cycled, has been for 2 months. Lol. Work has finally slowed down enough to allow me to have the time to stock the tank and monitor it. Any ideas? The only inhabitants are 5 or so endler hybrids and some tiny snails from when I...
