    What do you think about housing a Purple Tang and a Chevy Tang together?

    Oh just realized this was you Matt. The male trigger should be dominant so that will help a good bit with your pairing working out. Neither tang will have illusions of being the boss of the tank.

    What do you think about housing a Purple Tang and a Chevy Tang together?

    IMO the majority of times types like these are grouped it's fine and we usually only hear about the horror stories. Like Anthony said, adding them together and last is a good way to hedge the bet. I like to have a pair of damsels in each tank as well, like yellow-tails. This is a practice...

    Phosphate and carbon media, so a reactor for those. To me getting water right comes first, even though there are often sexier things that come up to buy beforehand.

    Dan's 150 Rebuild

    My wife went with me to the Reef Central holiday sale and waited with me - if you haven't been, there's a terribly long line through the parking lot waiting for the store to open, many hundreds of people. She said to another wife waiting with her reefer husband - that it was "the longest line...

    Running your skimmer intermittently

    I've always found phyto really hard to dose correctly, and avoid an algae bloom, etc. I wish I could figure it out as baby copepods feed off it and the coral will eat the free swimming adult copepods.
