I have a 125gal that is not stocked yet, I have been pondering what to do. The one thing I do want to put in my tank is 2 snowflake eels. So my question is: here is a list of fish I like, I know I can only pick 2-3 of them to put in my tank. Which ones would you pick keep in mind, I am putting...

have you heard if the humu triggers are EVIL as well? I like the humus and clowns I just need to know which one would be the best for my tank.

do you think it would be okay to add 2 snowflake eels in a 125 gal? And what have you heard or experienced with the clown triggers, could I possibly put one of them with a naso tang? I still have not yet added any live stock to my tank. I really dont want to regret anything later. Also will...

my tank size is 125 and i only planned on putting in either a trigger or an angel. Do you think that there is enough room for me to put in both?

I went to the lfs the otherday to talk to them about stocking my tank they said if I put in fish that are aggressive algea eaters like triggers or large angles, to not do lr. They said to just do rock. Is that okay? I have not done anything yet, meaning no fish in the tank and no rock in the...

okay I think I know what I would like to do with my 125gal. I have a 75 non aggressive tank that I am eventually going to add reefs into. So I figure on the 125 I want to do something different, I am leaning towards the predators. Something like triggers, lionfish, etc. What ideas do you have?

I have some of those too and they keep getting bigger is this something I am going to have to watch out for or will they stop growing?

I was told to add carbon filters to my 75gal what do you think? And for what reason should I add it?

I currently have a 75 gal sw tank how would I go about swapping those bioballs with lr? Do you do it slowly or all at once. Also can it be any kind of lr like the figi lr because the lr I have in the tank was very expensive but nice to look at. Also how much should I buy to replace the balls?

If I am going to change my FW tank into a SW do I need to replace all of my bio balls with new?

I currently have a 75 gal sw fo tank it has been doing great the past few years so I have now decided to get rid of my fw fish in my 125gal tank so I can convert it over to a sw tank. I want to get two sharks but I have done lots of research and now I want some input on what kinds of other fish...

I was told, when I bought my tangs, to either introduce them all in the tank at the same time or take the ones you have out and rearrange your tank and add them and the new tang at the same time. They said that way non of them will be territorial. That worked for me.

Okay......I am going to buy those gloves I dont want to get stung.

I had the same problem too I found that during the day while I was gone the sun was getting to my tank. I now have the blinds closed and the algea problem has left

I have been bleach cleaning my decorations in my tank now for 10 years and I have never had a problem. Just after I bleach it I rinse then put some stress coat mixed with water and soak just as I did with bleach water.
