    mixing tangs

    tangs i have a kole and a sailfin in a 125 they get along fine. the sailfin was introduced first, but if you remove the kole , rearrange the rock somewhat and then reintroduce them at the same time, it should work fine. one other thing make sure the sailfin is at least as large as the kole when...

    55 gal fowlr

    #&*^%$ dottyback Well sparks, you were absolutly correct. i was going to move the dottyback tonight after dinner. before we left everything was fine. the pygmy angel had torn fins but no worse than last night and everybody else was untoched. the firefish was totally nip free and was out mid...

    55 gal fowlr

    55 fowlr Sparks, so far the firefish is untouched but, the pygmy angel has some fin damage. he is constantly bothering the clown which is twice his size. i haven't seen the dottyback bother anything yet, but it could just be a matter of time. there is a ton of hiding places in the tank and i...

    fish stuck in overflow. any ideas?

    stuck fish thanks for the input. i will try the full overflow method first ,then the empty one. i wonder what the record is for a fish in an overflow? this one has been in there 4 months and i think he likes it. so much for giving the fish swimming space!

    fish stuck in overflow. any ideas?

    fish in overflow my overflows have a pipe that sticks up about 6" right in the middle of it. i was afraid to remove it because of possible leaks. if i can get that pipe out of there, your idea will work.

    55 gal fowlr

    I have patiently waited 1 year with my 125 reef before i set up another tank. I wanted a fish intensive tank but i had to use mostly equipment i already have so 55 is as big as i can go. to offset the size limitations, i am using a 40 gal long as a sump with a seaclone 100 skimmer. I also have a...
