I just flipped it on - and ok - when they start putting fish in the car/tank - the guy describes the puffer and says it has an extra long snout to get at algae behind the rocks, I already lost all respect for him.
I thought all puffers are carnivores? I don't pretend to know everything so...
mark - unless you place the BTA at the top point of your tank - i would skip it.
buddy of mine has a 90 gallon and pc lights - and the bta plopped itself so high up in the tank that it was exposed everytime a water change was done.
you're going to get various opinions on this.
rather than focus on the brand - I would just suggest you focus on what to test:

if the tank is already set up you can skip the ammonia/nitrite kits. In my humble...
there are no hard and fast rules in this hobby - (other than you have to use (NSW or ASW) saltwater...) ;D)
But keeping pelagic (tangs, anthias etc) fish in smaller sized tanks is just stacking the odds against you. It's possible to do for sure - it's just rare you ever see a nano tank of the...
HAHAH...i should have known better... ;)
I agree on the anemone first - but frankly if it wants to move- it could move tomorrow or move a month from now right? Certainly if you place it on an island (surrounded by sand) - that might help. I dunno. Mine decided to set up shop right next to my...
will it be BB?

Not sure if the above helps - but that's one german aquarist's experience.
Others suggest throwing out the infected coral. It sounds like it's on most of your LPS.
i've had baby clownfish go into the first chamber of the biocube. I ended up slowly coaxing it up and shooing it into the next chamber where the net was waiting.
Definitely consider getting the fishsaver - although that may not work if you do not have a cover on the tank.
+1.
Sorry to hear mark. I'm not sure hippos really do well in small tanks (55, 75, 90). Maybe for a few years - but you said yours is 6". That's pretty big for a 4 foot long tank.
do you still have four percs? how is that panning out? I have 3 (though one is the fry of the mom) and while there is no war - the third one is not allowed to sleep in the rbta with the other two at night. they tolerate the third one in the rbta SOMETIMES during the day.
Also - i noticed you...
