    HELP! Should I be worried?

    Thank you. I hope so too. The other fish looks like he's doing just fine and the coral frags look good too. I hope he's going to be ok I'm just watching and hoping he gets back to swimming around again.

    HELP! Should I be worried?

    I got home today and my black clown fish is only swimming at the very bottom of the tank right over the sand bed. I find it odd cause its always swimming all over the tank. Should I be worried?

    I need help to get this 75 gallon tank setup.

    Thank you :) I hope to build it into a nice setup. Will probably have to start with a FOWLR setup and start accumulating all the equipment to have a reef eventually.

    I need help to get this 75 gallon tank setup.

    Yea I thought the power filter would be trash since I has never seen a SW tank setup with one. Can I setup a FOWLR tank first with less equipment and start getting the other items little by little?

I'm having a hard time reading the...

    HELP! Starting a nano reef in my 8 gallon cube

    Oh that sounds like fun. Hmm I wonder where I can find a grass flat in the Miami/Ft Lauderdale area. Sounds like a breeze to find on the west coast area but around here may be hard, maybe on the intercoastal..? I wonder if I can google it LOL.
