    Trigger fish????

    Why don't you try the Sargassum Trigger the colors are very nice and are very peaceful, shy, and will not bite at the corals or other fishes.

    Trigger fish????

    Yeahh...they spit at you when really hungry and also bite if you get your finger too close to the food. I have always wanted a clown trigger but wont' risk my corals and the other fishes.

    mushroom corals that are overtaking the tank

    Mushrooms I had the same problem until my mushrooms began to shrink and really I miss them now. I don't know what happened to them. Water parameters are fine with no phosphates, nitrates, nitrites, temp. etc. Other corals are doing fine, maybe they are just too old and need to be replaced...

    DIY Aquarium Lights

The number of watts and the electricity...

    How can this be??

    Thanks for you answer. I can't get them out due to the amount of live rock and corals in the tank. So I am taking you advice and feed more often until I hope they can get along better.:kiss:

    How can this be??

    I have a 125 gallon tank with a yellow tang and a purple tang aside from some others. Last Friday I decided to buy two additional yellow tangs believing that 3 of them would not fight. My mistake. What happened is that the two new comers engaged in a constant fight and creating havoc in the...
