I've seen them at my LFS, bright son of a guns, definitly comparable to 96watt or more and in a smaller more intense area. I have not tried them, so I can say how they work on a tank.

You definitly got a nice spot to start from with that tank alread being drilled. What you need to do now is research...research...and then research some more. The more you know the better you will do especailly in the begining. The first thing you want to research is "THE CYCLE". learn as...

I second the dwarf angel. I am completely in love with the flame angel, it is a beautiful fish

I try and always have been told to try and get an assortment. The more varaition the better the pods and other critters will be.

Even though it was a combo of 2 established tanks I would personally consider it a new tank and just start from there. But the is just my opinion.

Micheal try exoticfish.com They are pretty good guys and usaully have nice stuff with good prices. Join the club on the site and he will send you emails with discounts on all kinds of stuff.

After the cycle has finished. My personal belief is to slowly add as needed. There are many sites that sell kits of 50 snails and 50 hermits and shrimp and everthying all at once. You ussaully dont need that many all at once and will end up losing some or having to feed your clean up crew.

Definitly looks like a nice place to start. Good luck and keep us well informed

I personally use red sea, but have always heard very good things about Instant Ocean

If not know mated pair then you best bet is to get them small like bang guy said. Also at the same time because sometimes the moving thing around does not always works.

Check out www.saltwaterfish.com In the the discussion boards under aggressive there are some guys with some pretty sweet tanks with some sharks. there is a guy who built a tank in his basement it is huga and pushing 1000gl's. If you do it right you can keep pretty much anything as long as you...

Micheal Eels will not most harm corals, the main reason peaple dont have them in reefs because they tend to snake on our shrimp which can be a very expensive snake.
