looking for suggestions on stocking my 55gallon Reef Ready
i am going to get:
hippo tang (found them around 1" in size with plans to upgrade in a year)
mated pair false percs
flame angel
dracula/hi fin goby
i really want to add in a purple tang or sailfin tang. chances are they will fight...

long time as an IT. Admin side of the house you don't have to deal with users. so it wasn't as bad but more brain teasing. unfortunately with the economy as bad as it is. we're on a hiring/promote freeze.
blue hippo is 75G i've seen it in a lot less. i know it's not ideal and chances are it isn't going to grow at it's MAX size for nearly a year. and as almost anyone in this hobby knows YOU JUST KEEP UPGRADING.
i went from 2.5>10>15>33L> now to 55RR>future????
Once i buy my condo I will probably...
merv, only those who think like that have not had to deal with those type of people in a day in and day out situation.
you will not find 1 IT analyst who will say they have not been outright frustrated due to the lack of common sense or ability with the human brain.

I deal with a lot of "common" people out there and make me utterly disrespect human intelligence. maybe 10% of all the people i have come in...
unfortunately. i read throughout so many websites. i can only remember what was said not the sites that said it. i know you should go higher than 80 but it is not recommended due to the fact the amount of stress you will add to your fish. if they are in enough stress from ich it will just add on...
after many readings:
temp for all 80degrees
also darkness is preferred (the ich can't see!)
1) hypo salinty
.03sg drop everyday until reaches 1.09 (recommended to use refractometer: reason - 1.008 kills fishies 1.010 ich can still survive) best known solution
2) copper (used copperamine and...
i don't think i'll be getting into corals though they are beautiful. kind of expensive. so far the things i've bought should go well with an upgrade since it is a long. just upgraded the skimmer from a prizm dlx to an aquac w/mag 3. so that should do fine in a 55-70gal
upgrading will have to...
unfortunately waiting on membership. just sent the form in today. not everyone has a location in their signature and haven't found many people in the area and some people don't want to click on everyone's profile to figure out who's in the immediate vicinity.
it just so happens i found it cool...
