The YT Zebrasoma flavescens is a fantastic fish - but it is a big time eater and pooper. Good luck keeping it in that sized tank. Assuming you don't give it away, it will be good incentive for you to go get a big tank set up! ;)

well I may be showing my preference in terms of video games (RPG) - but it looks kinda like a malboro. Best not to use poison and load up on fire-based weapons. ;D

I was thinking that given all the bacteria and what not in a tank - if the fish's fins are being bitten/nipped at - then it could get infected, or potentially stress the fish out thereby causing a negative immune response...which promptly results in ich/velvet... I would take the injured fish...

thanks harry - I like your aquascape btw... the middle section of your sump - are you saving that for a refugium?

Jim - I'm not up to speed on all the common names- but dendro - is that related to a sun coral Tubastrea aurea? It looks similar. Also - in the foreground to the left - did you purchase that anemone or was it hitching on the frag? It looks like a "flower" anemone...but not sure.

Personally of the damsels I always thought the Yellow-tail was nicer (chromis and clowns excluded). If you take away the Yellow-tails LR/hiding place home / - and re-arrange everything it will mellow out (or should). Probably the most vicious damsels in my opinion are the blue devil and that...

Not sure if a skimmer fits? or if it really skims the rated gph? Found a couple helpful links: Skimmer Comparison Controller Comparison Credit: Aquarium controllers.com Skimmer Chart by ReefCentral members Straegen / Robbyg / Davidryder / Jdieck Thanks To Davidryder and Jdieck...

thanks david (and sorry harryk for the hijack) - but I'm totally in "compare" mode right now. equipment purchases (tank, pumps, skimmer, reactors) etc. are the order of the day. Eventually I'll get LR - probably from Marco or maybe Dr. Mac - but I'm just lurking the forum and seeing what other...

looking great - is that a 3 strip and yellow-tail damsel in there? Interesting choices (lot of personality) - just watch their "territory" disputes.

I must have missed this earlier in the thread - but when did you get the LR and if you don't mind me asking -from where? (I'm still doing my shopping).

I assume you have an overflow? I'd try and put two on on end, then the other plus the return of the overflow on the other side...So then the center of the tank would get flow from both sides. Experiment and see how that goes.

wow - my kids would be thrilled...I wouldn't - lol - I'd be scared - but my kids would be like so amazed.

they are noisy and are "safe" in the sense they won't eat your reef. If a small fish or invert is dumb enough to "walk" into the pistol - it may stun / kill it. The symbiotic relationship between the goby and pistol is typically found in the pacific. The carribbean pistol that typically hitches...

what kind of powerheads/flow (gph) do you have in the tank? Do you have a pic of the tank with the cloudiness? It's rather unusual for a tank that is mature to have any cloudiness from the substrate. Did you add sand or a new ph? just thinking out loud what might be causing this.

Nice! Most people think they are rather gross looking - glad you like the one you got! Though - do you think there is enough sand in your nano to keep it healthy?

even though it's temporary - you could setup an account with a free media storage provider like photobucket. Upload your digital pics there, then copy the IMG link and past them here to post the pics.

personally I would not re-use (ALL) the sand from an established tank. I'd start a brand new bed of sand and take a cup of my old sand from my old tank to re-seed the new tank. I don't even know if I would do this with a fellow-hobbyists' tank (take a cup of their established sand) unless I...
