I just added a raccoon fly to my tank.  My bicolor angel won't leave it
alone.  I didn't know these two wouldn't get along.  Anyone have a problem
with this set?  Also, I added a polyp frag today & the angel seems to be
eating the polyps!  Is this common?  Thanks.

Ok i'm wondering if my main supply pump is 3/4" and if i run 2 elbows

and did not reappear for a month, when he surfaced and died. I was
sad. He literally was on his back with his foot in the air. I read

I am setting up 29G saltwater aquarium in which there is already 21 pounds

I have 2 tanks.  One is a 30 gallon, the other is a 75.  I have better luck
with the 30, but there are some things that are going on in there that I'm
pretty sure are bad.  When I first set it up almost a year ago I took a
picture of an unknown object that was identified by some ...

I am on a long term goal of setting up a reef tank, and really want to make
my own live rock. I have been through the garf site several times as well as
others. Looking into it most of the ingredients are quite cheap, but then
there is the Aragonite. Any thoughts on using crushed ...

   Ok, I have a 30 gallon tank.  No protein skimmer or any live coral.
Filter is a hang on the back type.  I have one fish in it:  a clown.  I has

   Anyway, I'm thinking about putting another clown fish in the tank, so my
