what is the maximum amount of waspfish i can keep in a ten or 15 gallon tank?

i know the minimum size for a GSP is 25-30 gallons but would a 29 gallon tank 30"x12"x18" be OK? is the width to small? do they like strong flows? should the flow be high when they r in SW to make it seem like they are in the ocean?

will it be safe to house BBGs with t.micropleis archers? I dont know if thats the correct scientific name but its the archer that lives in 1.005 SG and grows small -_- can orange chromides be kept singly or do they need to be kept in pairs? do they eat plants? would Microphis brachyurus...

i saw cfc's brackish tank in another thread and it looks sweet. i have a 75 gallon tank at the moment and i might consider it for brackish. If I had 4 scats, what else could i have? in cfc's i saw like 4 scats, monos, couple, archers, 3 cats, and a toadfish, so i am thinking since his tank is...

What shell dwelling species are suitable for a 10 gallon tank? Should the tank be aquascaped with rocks and shells or just shells? Do the fish need to be kept in pairs or can I have only one specimen? Does anyone here have any pcis of their shell dwellers tank?

Under 40 watts in a 75 gallon aquarium (approx. 0.6 WPG) what floating plants would do well? I am not a fan of small floating plants like duckweed, I am looking for something larger like watersprite. What stem plants would do well under this lighting? I dont know if I used this right, but stem...

i am going to setup my 55 gallon tank and i want some predatory high-end brackish fish. As a stock list i was thinnking one GSP, one freshwater stone fish, one butis butis, one green wolf eel, and either a ceylon puffer or a stars and stripes puffer. I want heavy planting of vallisneria...

I am planning on getting a small cube tank, smaller than 5 gallons. I want this tank solely for plants, no fish. I want some plants that will grow tall out of the water so I can avoid c02 injection. It will be lit by a desk lamp with a full spectrum bulb, I can get any wattage preferd by the...

When talking about scientific names and you see something like Brachygobius spp does the spp mean that it is referring to all Brachygobius species?

please do not laugh at me. I am aware that carnivores are meat eaters, and I aware that predators hunt down prey. So basically what the difference bewteen the two? according to the definitions wouldnt all carnivores (and omnivores) be considered predatory then?

as you probably know brackish tanks grow algae like crazy, if I had slow growing plants would they outcompete the algae? ooh, by the way no c02 planned and what is the most lighting for a non c02 tank? (im planning the plant-stock around how much light there will be)

Im hoping to get a RO unit within the next year, but until then will that water filter be acceptable for the corals?

Im have been doing my research, and I am soon to make my empty ten gallon a nano with soft corals. I would really hate to purchase a DI/RO system for such a small tank, this Tap Water Filter claims to be DI. Is it safe to use? Dont want to buy RO water from LFS either :P

OK I have a 75 gallon tank and I dont know what to do with it! I would love a FOWLR but the budget doesnt approve it. If you choose other, NO CICHLIDS! I know I mentioned discus, but these are the only cichlids (and maybe angels) that I like.
