You'll want to stay clear of ones that need swimming room such as anthias as well. Someday I'll have a shoal of anthias..someday.

To be honest I've never even looked at Anthias. I just took a look at them however and I do like the Evansi anthias.

EDIT: The sandstorm in my tank is now down to a miniumum. Although I do have a quick question. There are a lot of bubbles in my tank. Is this a problem or should I not worry about it? It seems like they are being made by the filter.

Micro bubbles or big ones? Is the water having much of a drop to the surface?

 

[-LeG[A]cY-]

Heh, I fixed it. I topped off with some freshwater and it fixed the problem. I guess it was having too big of a drop from the filter to the water.

 

[Grins]

That will do it. =)

 

[-LeG[A]cY-]

Hm well maybe not. There's still a bunch of tiny bubbles being made.

 

[Grins]

Do you have a skimmer?

 

[-LeG[A]cY-]

No. And I really don't want to buy one if I don't have to or until I make my tank a reef tank. So hopefully that's not the answer.

 

[Grins]

Actually they can sometimes be part of the problem when having microbubbles. So knock that out as the problem. Had you just done a water change? Where are the bubbles? Any other recent changes/additions?

 

[-LeG[A]cY-]

They still seem to be coming from the filter. I filled the tank up as much as possible. The bubbles seem to go from the filter and then to the middle of the tank. I just filled the tank for the first time yesterday.

aren't microbubbles a good thing? I mean it's a good sign that there's lots of oxygen in the water, fish and biological filter can only benefit from a good oxygenation, no?

I have lots of microbubbles in my tank, coming from the wet/dry filter. lots of water and oxygen circulation in my filter and tank.
