Does anyone have a good reference for the differences (colors, markings, shape, etc.) between Blue Tang's from different regions? Specifically the differences between Blue Tangs from Solomon, Fiji, and Indian Ocean regions (areas listed on liveaquaria.com site). Reason: I just lost a Blue Tang...

This doesn't seem right to me, but this is my first SW tank and first time I've used LR. Given the following set of data, has my tank cycled? I thought the ammonia and nitrites would get higher. Is it the LR that has kept it down, or will there be more to the cycle in the next few weeks...

I put in some live rock from lr.com yesterday and I've been enjoying the treasure hunt ever since. I moved one of my rocks this evening and this was seen next to it after the move. I'm not sure if it fell of it or what. I went to eat dinner and came back and it moved about 2 inches or so...

If I get lots of critters on my live rock when it arrives, do I need to worry about feeding them? It's a new tank, just over a week into the cycle. Thanks, Kurt

I have a 29 gal tank I'm just starting. I've had the substrate (not live) and filter running for a week now, no noticable ammonia yet. I will be ordering 20 lbs of LR from LR.com on Monday. Would it be OK to throw one raw shrimp tonight to help with cycling, or will that cause problems with...

I'm getting ready to buy 20 lbs of keys rock from Liverocks.com. I've been reading here on the forum and I've seen a few post talking about the bad smell of the rocks they received from liverocks. Is this typical (the smell for a few days) when ordering LR on-line, or does it have more to do...

I just thought I share a picture of what a tank looks like after adding sugar-fine sand. Yep, it gets all milky white. Mine has cleared up nicely after a couple of days with the help of a HOB filter with a carbon bag in it. Anyway, to all the noobs like me, yes this is supposed to happen...

If I use RO/DI water, add Instant Ocean to it as recommended, will my PH be right where it needs to be? Coming from the freshwater team, PH was always something I had to screw with as local tap water (non RO water) PH is quite high. Thanks, Kurt
