Thanks for all the advice, everyone. I guess the chromis will go in first, then the clowns, then the yellow-tail (with breath held for that one) and then see how things are going. I will ditch the cardinal. do you think the tang should go in after the flame angel or before, and how about the...

My tank is now fully cycled, and the cleanup crew has been hard at work for three weeks. FINALLY, time to start thinking about some fish! I would like to end up with the following fish: Blue/Green Chromis x 3 True Percula Clowns x 2 Yellow Tang x 1 Yellowtail Damsel x 1 Dwarf Flame Angel x 1...

Thanks for your suggestion! -pso

I am starting to set up my 75 gallon tank. I intend to use a 3" DSB with LR. I put a piece of egg crate in the bottom of the tank, and spread 50lbs of sand. I then put in 90 lbs of www.hirocks.com base rock on top of that, wiggling it to set it firmly on the eggcrate. I intend to put 40 lbs...

Thanks to both of you for your replies. I have planned for three maxijet 1200s and two visitherm heaters. Will i need some additional form of filtration while waiting for all the rock to be live?

I will be shortly starting a 75g FOWLR tank. I plan to cycle it with LR from liverocks.com. The question is, how much to start with? I think the overall target is for 120 lbs at the end. Can I start with 40 lbs of LR and 80 lbs of what they call live base rock or some other dry base rock and...

Thanks, I have read hundreds of these topics, so I do trust you! Now the challenge is finding it in Connecticut in December. and oh yeah, I am a lawyer, so I understand the mentality!

Does anybody know why the Yardright website (http://www.yardright.com/sand.htm) states that their tropical play sand is not suitable for aquariums? Thanks.[/url]
