    bio-load and yellow eyed tang

    thank you guys Wow... What do you recommed I do now to un-do this mess? Should I ask Kevin to hold onto my 2 tangs until I get a 90? I did end up finding the dottybacks a new home. My fish woes really hit home this morning when I found my flame angel barely breathing. I put her in the...

    Calling all Clown Fish Lovers

    Ed, Thank you--you give excellent advice. I actually bought the pair from Kevin. I've visited every marine and reef shop in Spokane--and Kevin has them beat by leaps and bounds. (in every area) Patience is hard for me...I do know that I need to find some, though. Kyle--thank you for your...

    Calling all Clown Fish Lovers

    From Papa New Guinea...I just got a beautiful pair of P. Clownfish. I've been cycling my 30 gallon tank (with 45 lbs of live rock and 3 dams) for one month now. I'm a brand new hobbyist and the addiction--and compulsion--are palpable. My plan is to buy a 92 gallon corner spill-over tank...
