Just astounding. I can't believe it's been almost 2 years since I first saw this tank and I'm still in awe of it.

They tend to only school in home tanks if they perceive a threat. Otherwise, they tend to break down into little territories with some overlapping as they get older. Juveniles will school for a...

Everything I've read and from the experiences of fellow hobbyists it seems to either have a group of at least 4 or just one male. Of course, your experience may vary, but that's just the norm. Any...

What do people think about Colochirus robustus? They only get to a max of 2". I wouldn't think they'd be able to take out a tank like this, but I won't risk it if they could. This would be in a 300...

I have to agree, first off I think keeping two tangs in a tank your size would be the limit and adding two additional Zebrasoma tangs to a 125 with an established Purple tang is a recipe for...

Yes, they live in Pocillopora. Like most clown gobies, they tend to eat free floating micro-organisms and do supplement their diet with coral polyps, though it shouldn't do a large amount of damage....

I think that it's a myth brought on by how they are kept. In large, well established tanks, I've seen groups last years. However, in smaller tanks they do get aggressive as they get older (it is in...

Second the ID. That is a regal tang, but it looks to be in good shape. Hard to see the stomach from the angle, but it looks good from the side.

I've heard that they are less aggressive than other members of the genus (such as the six and four line wrasses), but when they do get to be large they are very capable of eating small shrimp, it'll...

You should not house different dottyback species in the same tank, especially in a tank as small as a 75g. They are generally very agressive to newly added fish of same shape/color. Captive bred ones...

Also, which T5 bulbs would you recommend if you recommend that 4x54watt fixture? There seem to be quite a few actinic choices. I currently use the Current USA 7100K Blue Power Compact bulbs.

I definitely second that. I wouldn't put a mandarin in any tank that doesn't have a dedicated refugium where pods can reproduce and even then I wouldn't recommend anything less than a 55. The larger...

Depends on the numbers of other fish and stuff, but as was said, the more anthias the better. They like strength in numbers and are a great fish. Just make sure the water quality doesn't suffer.
