    Aptasia all over rock w coral

    Forget the shrimp idea! My lion would have a nice meal and that's about all that will come from putting shrimp of any kind in my tank

    The electric zapper sounds very interesting. Where could I get one?

    Aptasia all over rock w coral

    Is there anything that I could dip my corals in to kill aptasia but not harm the coral. The rock is covered w them. Too many to attack one at a time

    help! damsel removal

    Get a tank divider that splits the tank in two. Move as much as you can to one side then force him to the side w nothing, split the tank with the diver and then close in on him w the net. Worked for me w my rogue damsel.

    Aptasia and bubble algae

    Practically overrun by both. Can't add shrimp, tried that and they ended up as dinner and there are too many to attack one at a time. Dwarf lion and purple dottyback won't allow anything else too coexist. About to just donate fish to lfs and get some shrimp and establish a better clean up crew...

    Fluval 405

    Take out the sponges unless you plan on cleaning it out every week. You can put any filtration media in its place to where you don't have to clean it as often. It also helps w circulation but I would definitely put it to use. You can never have to much filtration.

    There is a knob on top that your supposed to pump to prime the water in before turning it on.

Considering donating the dotty back as well and building around the dwarf. I have all fish, coral, and my bubble tip anemone in...

    Lionfish outgrowing tank

    I appreciate all the input. Yes, I know the jawfish should go but it will be hard to do. He usually stays in his burrow where he is safe and that Alone will make it hard to get him out. Plus everytime I put my net in the tank my lions think its time to eat so if I go to net the jawfish and he...

    Lionfish outgrowing tank

    Fish tanks are not hard to find so I won't need luck. If I didn't have the money I wouldn't have started in the first place. I've learned a lot w my first tank and yes I need a bigger one for what I want.

    Lionfish outgrowing tank

    Moving in the spring. Hopefully buying a house so being as it would make sense, planning to upgrade at that time. I posted pictures and asked the question about his current size in relation to the tank I currently have. Obviously if he seems happy I would love to just keep him but now would be a...

    Lionfish outgrowing tank

    I was thinking about a trade w lfs. Never shipped a fish and really don't want something to go wrong. I've read that a lion needs 75 min so I'm not sure what to do. I would like someone's impute on my photos of lions size now in relation to my tank. He's the only big fish and all others are very...

    He is a very happy fish at the moment and I'd feel terrible if something went wrong in transport.

    Lionfish outgrowing tank

    Have a volitan lion, a purple dottyback, dwarf lion, and a tiger jaw fish. The jaw fish is a wimp. The dottyback picks constantly on him constantly and anytime the volitan goes near his burrow, he freaks out and runs to the other side of tank. I want to get rid of the volitan and the jaw fish...

    I found my six line wrasse on the floor

    Would my lions know the difference if I replaced him? They never bothered the other one but he was there before them.
