I just have clowns in currently. Ideally a reef tank in the future

Tap water, but I used chemicals ( Dechlorinator)

Hello! I did a %100 water change (tank was filthy, gravel needed cleaned) and we got the water filtered, and filled with salt to the appropriate SG. I did a test, and the levels were .15. Why?

How about smaller fish? If I keep it fed, will it stay docile, or will any inverts and small fish become a snack? Also, what fish can I keep in a 55 gallon that can keep the eel in check?

Thanks for the answer! Do you know anything about their tankmates, or rules around what they should be placed with? Can I place them in a reef tank?

I am not an expert on disease, but it could be Ich. I'd recommend placing it in a quarantine tank, to both prevent spread to other creatures, and to isolate the gourami.

No worries! Just replying helps out! I'll be sure to get a tighter lid, I don't think mine is necessarily the tightest.

Howdy! I'm starting a saltwater reef tank, and I am looking for coral! No SPS, as I do not have the proper lighting yet. My preferred choices would be polyps, zoanthids, and maybe some coral fans. Thanks for reading!

Mine has to be Ocellaris Clownfish. Even though many fish have way cooler abilities and looks, mine have been with me for years, and stuck with me through tank wipe-outs, ammonia spikes, new tank mates! They are very fun to watch, and resilient.

I'm not an expert, so I don't know sadly, it does seem to be a problem though. I'd recommend posting a sick form/emergency form. Even if it proves to be nothing, better safe than sorry!

Howdy! I'm coming back into the hobby, and I'm very excited about it. I've got a 55 gallon, but I'm unsure how to go about it. I've got 2 clowns, and that is it in the tank. I want to get some bigger fish, coral, and some inverts. The "bang" is an eel! I want to get a snowflake eel. I have all...

Think about things that could possibly deteriorate in the tank. Things that could be nipped, broken, or eaten by accident. The painting would be hard. You could paint with a paint marker or the like, and Flex Seal the heck out of it. Enjoy. This sounds awesome.

You're on the right track with the Angels, but you'd have to go Dwarf though. They have a great personality but have trouble getting acclimated. Tangs just need more room in general, so I wouldn't recommend them. A Jawfish could add personality, but add it in first. It takes a small piece of...

Tangs would be pretty hard to keep. I honestly want one, but I think it might be for the best not to have one in a 55. May I suggest a Dwarf Angel instead? They are smaller, but serve the same kind of look as a tang. The color variation is SO PRETTY as well!

Ohio.

Beautiful fish! Can you ship?

A: You might be able to get play sand, but you'd have to be vigilant in looking at the materials. Additives, colors, heavy metals. I honestly would pay the extra buck for the aquarium sand. It has beneficial bacteria with it. B: If your gourami is outright hurting the other fish, then maybe...

Nice! I'll take a look.

DoubleDutch has a point. Plecos can grow to be really big for these smaller tanks.

Thanks! This sounds AWESOME. I'm excited to get started! What exactly does the refugium serve as?
