What conditioner, and have you upgraded your lights yet?
What books are you using for a reference guide?
Foxface fish are great, but they will stop eating when they are full ...

Well nope have not upgraded my lights yet but that should not matter for keeping a fox face...oh wait you are thinking of alge groth (I am slow some times).

I have a few books but I find most of my info on line in forums like this and other great web pages.

I know that the fish will not just go in and eat everything but I was planning on an addtion anyway so I will let him/her eat what they want and then I will pull the rest and I am sure that the new addition will finish off any smaller bits that I miss.

I don't have a Phospate test kit so I guess I should pick one up, but just wondering why would it matter if the tank water read 0 what would the purpos be to test my source water?

Well thanks everyone for you help once again with this question, I am off to Big Al's!
