Jason...I think the analogy is that you don't test your oil to see how much crap is in it you change it when it is needed.
Thus we don't all test our water we do our water change and if something starts to look bad (or car runs bad) we test.
OK I am going to confess now...I used to test...and the tests drove me crazy between getting old and my eyes going bad and ambiguous test results I rarely test for anything with the exception of salinity for my water changes. I have PH and Temp probes so I look at those but that is it really...
Can I be different?
How much do you want to spend? If you are like me you(I am sorry for you) you budget certain amount and then spend what you have plus a reasonable amount 50-75%.:lipsrsealed:
So 5-50 bucks ...media reactor...you can spend 5 bucks and DYI an eggcrate insert or buy one of...
I would not add both of those tangs...too similar and both are on the scrappy side. Think with that size tank 4 will be OK but would avoid just those two. All the others are different and play well enough with others. It is certainly going to be a beautiful bunch of fish.
They were pretty crowded even late Sunday, very nice stuff and nice discounts. I only picked up water and some CUC but nice experience.
Heard they are going to do father son (parent kid) workshops pretty cool idea.
I guess you could. I will take the small victory of going from 25 to 13 fish.:victorious:
Remember your fish will grow and you want them to be healthy and happy.
Just a sidenote, I have had my tank for 5years and been doing salt water for 9, fresh for 40. And so I tend to think OK I am...
I have owned Bicolor Pseudocromis....he was a terror. I would expect him to chase any calm fish relentlessly(cardinals, firefish, gobies, etc)
The only more or less calm dottyback is the orchid, which I currently have and that one plays nice.
I see the problem not in that what you have now is...
If you have amazon prime you have the option for $9.99, don't know why it doesn't show up.
In anycase I just ordered one thanks.

OK I had to stop and think about it.
In my 120 with 35 G sump I had maximum 8 fish. The fresh water rule is one inch per gallon and salt water is 1 inch per 5 gallons. That is a general rule.
Some would say that it is to much one way or the other.
But you are talking 75 gallons
Kole tang and...
