Hi guys! I currently have a 80 gallon tank with a blue spotted toby puffer - I’m upgrading to a 180 and in between getting a cow fish or box fish. Any advice, recommendations, and knowledge would be greatly appreciated! TIA!

Hey everyone, First post here and it’s a somewhat big one. I have a tank that’s a little shy of 20 gallons (rounded just for ease of conversation) and it’s getting to the point where I’m adding my last fish. (tank attached bellow). I currently have 2 clowns 1 scooter dragonet and a shrimp, goby...

Hey everyone Just want to get some second opinions on my planned stock list. So far I have a Sharptail Snake Eel and Sailfin Tang sharing a 125 gallon mixed reef with large rock arch, and the tank has a 55 gallon sump. So far so good with the eel and tang, however I added my longspine black...

Hi, boyfriend picked up a Pseudocheilinus evanidus that was misidentified as a different type of fairy wrasse. His plan was to put him in a 40b with a banggai Cardinalfish but after learning it’s similar to a six line wrasse he’s convinced it’s going to kill/hurt the cardinal. The only info I’ve...

Hello! I've recently started upgraded to a 75 gallon saltwater aquarium and currently I have 1 lemon peel dwarf angelfish and 1 clownfish inside the tank. I plan to eventually add more fish but I I'm struggling with figuring out the best compatibility for my saltwater tank to have a thriving...

I have a 75 gallon aquarium(40’ by 24’ by 20’). I have a fish list which I have done a lot of research on. However, I would like to know if there are any compatibility problems that I am unaware of as well as possible better alternatives. Any recommendations or words of advise are much...

Hey Reefers! I am in the pre-planning stage of my next tank. I have most things figured out, but there still remains a pretty big question that will decide whether or not I buy a larger tank. I am interested in buying the ProStar 200 v2, which is a ~185G total system tank. It's a "reef ready"...

Hello, All. Currently I have a 40g cube display LPS dominated reef tank. I am thinking about adding a starry blenny but I want to make sure it gets along with my other fish. Currently I have: 2 ocellaris clowns 1 royal gramma 1 midas blenny 1 six line wrasse. Notes: The six line (Poppy) was...

Hi everyone I haven’t been able to find any information online about the comparability of shrimpfish with garden eels but am curious if anyone has any advice? I already have an established 40 gallon with several garden eels and a couple peaceful companion fish and they are fed liquid and dry...

I have recently bought this crab from my LPS and they labeled it as a Sand Sifting Crab, which it is but I was wondering if someone could ID it so I can do more research on its compatibility within my tank. They told me they believed it was reef safe with caution, but they also didn't have much...

I have a 135 gallon display that I have a rather large Diamond Watchman Goby in. He's definitely focused on the sand bed. Would there be an issue with adding a blenny? If compatibility isn't an issue, what type of blenny would y'all recommend for this tank? We have a Bicolor in my 25 gallon...

I have a 75g tank I’ll be setting up by end of the year. There’s a crap ton of wrasse that I like and need a way to narrow it down. Which wrasses are compatible or you would recommend for a 75g? I’d like to have 2-3. The wrasses that I have taken a liking to are: •Potters wrasse...

I am well aware wrasse of the genus Thalassoma specifically Lunare, Hardicke and Paddlefin are extremely aggressive and will destroy a cleanup crew. I know they can also bully small fish but is it true wrasse of this genus will actually prey on small fish as well? Would damsels, anthias...

I’m setting up a 40 gallon tank at the moment, and for a while i’ve been planning to get sexy shrimp which prevents me from getting some other fish species i like, the longnose hawkfish, six lime wrasse, and a jawfish, would these fish go after, Cleaner shrimp, Maybe a fire shrimp, Anemone...

Could i pull of a Tailspot and Linear Blenny in the same 40 gallon tank, i could barnacles on both sides or something, i also want a striped blenny but those are different enough so i think it’ll be fine

I am considering getting an eel for my 150 gallon reef tank. Anyone have any suggestions on eels that are reef safe and not hostile or able to keep non hostile against other tank mates?

I was looking into building a reef tank, my mother grew up with one but doesn't remember much so I was asking here. I was planning on stocking the following 2 black ocellaris clowns 2 pink skunk clowns(this is the main concern, I know people here have kept multiple pairs of different clownfish...

Hello all, So I’m rather new to reef keeping, and initially I stocked my tank with three damsels at the recommendation of my LFS, which I rehomed shortly after since I wasn’t aware how big and aggressive they’d become. To replace them I got two banggai cardinals and a falco’s hawkfish; I didn’t...

I have a blotchy that’s about 2-3 inches so still on the smaller side. I was looking at getting a couple of captive bred fish from biota which usually come fairly small. Looking at getting a blue mandarin and a Cuban basslet. Other fish I have in my tank currently; captive bred yellow tang...

Hello everyone, I recently got a free 9-inch engineer goby that looks amazing for free while buying a tank breakdown. I was researching online for information but couldn't find anything. The current stockings I have are Gem Tang (1), Yellow Tang (1), Tomini Tang (1), Blue Tangs (2), Purple Tang...

What are your thoughts am I able to keep more or am I stuck with just the 6-line? I added a photo of the pink...

Hey everyone! After over 2 decades of keeping freshwater planted tanks (which I still have and love), I finally decided to dive head first into the reef keeping hobby with my older 11 year old son. We’ve had our tank up and running for about 4 weeks now with live rock from our LFS (Red Sea MAX...

I have a tank with a Halleri ray, one marble coral catshark, one vlamingi, one purple tang and a soldier fish. I was wondering if anyone has experience having a ray with a Foxface? I am a little afraid he's going to get carpeted by my ray who occasionally does it to my other fish and he's...
