So I was just invited over to my LFS owners house and was amazed by his 110 gallon tank, he had between 5 and 10 tangs, swimming around with one another like they were Chromis. I also watched as he casually dumped a Powder Blue in with all of the others and none of them flaired up or were...

Is there anything I can do at this point or should I just wait and see what happens to it?

the lighting is High Output, and I've had the tank running for about 4 months now but I see your point.

They are 54 watt bulbs also my water parameters are as follows PH: 8.2-8.4 (hard to tell based on the color) ammonia: 0 (unreadable) nitrite:0 (unreadable) nitrate: 0 (unreadable) carbonate hardness: 9 dkh calcium levels: 420 salinity: 1.024 I've been keeping the temperature at about 76 to 78...

5 bulbs HO

It's a T5

I've got a Rose bubble anemone that doesn't appear to be doing so well. When I first got him he was open all the way most of the time and was a bright red color. Now he's got some black discoloration on him and he's closed up a lot of the time if not hiding in a cave. What could be causing this...

He's ALIVE I saw him again today, he came out for about 15 minutes picked at the rock a little bit, swam around and then returned to hiding. I wonder if he's been doing this every day that I've been at work.

What's the longest you've had a fish missing that's still been alive, I've got a green coris wrasse that disappeared 5 minutes after putting him in the tank and he's been gone for a good 5 days. Is this normal? Might he still reappear?

also I did end up taking back the powder blue, I traded him for a Favia Brain. Pretty sweet. I am thinking with my tank I am just going to get a Green Coris Wrasse and a little Indigo Dottyback and then I'll be done. It might be a little crowded in there but, it's gonna be sweet. I also put a...

My girlfriend and I will probably end up upgrading at some point or another, I am about hooked and I want another tank. Probably end up finding a 120 and then keep the 55 as well.

I wonder if my peppermint shrimp aren't mitigating the spread of the little aiptasia in my main tank.

I was looking at the rock in my sump last night and I noticed a little bit of aiptasia growth. I haven't seen any of it in my main tank yet but I was wondering if I should be worried about it in my sump. Will it be able to spread to the main tank?

swimming space My yellow tang seems to have been doing really well, I'd say he spends half of his day swimming around in about a quarter of the tank. There's a couple of rocks that he seems to likes to graze on a lot. I've also built my rock so that there's lots of spaces for him to swim around...

I guess this is a war story more then a question, I decided to try adding a small powder blue tang to my tank which was previously stocked with just 5 chromis and a 3 1/2 to 4 inch yellow tang. Any way my yellow tang flared up and went to town chasing and trying to beat the tar out of the poor...
