Re: keeping coral beauty and flame angel fish

mixing dwarf angels is generally not a good idea, you could give it a shot but i wouldn't recommend it, its just not worth the risk

Re: A maroon clown in a large group

You could also consider a damsel for cycling purposes, if you're going down that route.

Re: A maroon clown in a large group

You gotta cycle the tank first before adding anything else, just besides live rock.

Re: A maroon clown in a large group

You'll end up having to tear down the whole tank just to catch those damsels, and it's gonna be a hassle. Just cycle it the normal way, with some liverock or a piece of shrimp, it's way easier.

Re: A maroon clown in a large group

Actually, maroons top out at around 6" max, and that's being generous. In reality, they usually don't get that big. A 20 long would be just fine for one.

As for damsels, they don't really help mature setups, and they're super aggressive. Not a great combo with a maroon, if you ask me.

Re: A maroon clown in a large group

A goby could work pretty well, adds some interesting movement and they're usually pretty peaceful, so shouldn't add to the aggression with the Maroon clown.

Re: are sea horses a good idea?

Not a good idea. You'd be surprised how hungry your fish can get when they see something as unique as a seahorse.

Re: Troubleshooting bubble coral issues

600, that's crazy high. Either your test kit is off or you might've tested it wrong.
What's your Alk and Mag at, by the way?
Bubbles are pretty finicky about water parameters, most corals are like that too.

Re: My hammer coral has turned green

The store didn't dupe you, different lighting setups can really change the way a coral's colors pop. And let's not forget, corals stress out during transport, so give it some time to settle into its new home. If this were an online purchase, I might suspect some funny business, but since you saw it ...
