    exquisite wrasse....life span??

    Thanks you two! I really love my guy, strange how I can get attached to a fish. LOL He (?) is about two inches long, fat, and colorful. I really don't do much to his environment, not even water changes. He is in a 120g, that has a w/d filter, U/V, giant skimmer, and that's it. Tank mates are...

    exquisite wrasse....life span??

    Hello! Does anyone know how long these wrasses live? I have had mine for over five years, is that normal for them? Thanks!

    FIRE!!! Yikes!!!

    Thank you! I can't remember why I was home, but AFTER the fire was out, I panicked and called my hubby (crying) and he came right home. Then I fell apart. I lost the shrimp, a few wrasses, and the wall behind the tank. Clean up was a bear! That white powdery stuff was everywhere. I still don't...

    FIRE!!! Yikes!!!

    Hey All! A few years ago I too had a fire like that. Thought I'd save a few bucks and bought a used power strip, Never again! I never did find out what started the fire, but luckily I was home and was able to put it out. I need to use an an extinguisher and some of the stuff got into the tank...

    Anthony, Thanks for your comments. Live rock and sand is my favorite filtering method too I just wanted to try other methods for extra assurance, but I guess I won't be doing that on this tank. :). I already have sand in the tank (since I emptied a 55 and a 30 and put it in the bigger tank)...

    Help me! Hit me with Ideas!

    Well, I am loving all the input. I think I am getting cold feet about trying a different system on this tank. I suppose I will do the deep sand bed, tons of live rock, and an awesome skimmer. And get another littler tank to "play with." :) Now, how does one build a surge into a fuge? Won't that...

    FB is because I never used one and thought I'd give it a try :) I know it is bordering overkill, but they are cheap and seem to enhance. Yes, LR, lots of it and a DSB. I thought I picked good skimmers, lead me to better ones! I'm open. I have a Berlin system on the 75 and have no nasty...

    I have a UV on my 75 but not on my 55's or thirties. Interestingly enough, the 75 gets the problems, go figure.

    What in place of bio balls? I did think of that, but wonder what to use in place? Actually Nikki, I am giving the 55 to my friend in trade for her ugly 55, mine has a great stand and a mirrored back so it is way to pretty to use as a sump. But, I really think 75 would be perfect for the sump...

    Help me! Hit me with Ideas!

    Thanks! Charlie! It is nice! I have drained a 55 gallon and put it in the big one! I also put 55 gallons of new water and all the sand, my huge show piece of Tonga Rock and 2 green chromis and the snails. The star and my favorite wrasse now live in the 75 gallon (I better run carbon since the...

    Hello All! Glad to have gotten to this site! Hope you will be willing to help me with my problems! First, I have several reef tanks but I thought I talked my hubby into building me a 220 galllon. Well, he didn't (because it got really involved) so we settled on a 135 gallon all glass tank in...
