I think you have the right idea on slowing down a bit right now. Every decision is an important one, and there is no hurry in this hobby. We all get excited and want our perfect tank right away, but when you do without analizing all the research, it gets costly in the end. I think we all have...

Lions love their space. Make sure the fish would still be comfortable in your tank with all of those other fish. He will want a cave or something similar to hide in which can take up extra space in your tank. He could also put stress on the other fish being a predator, so they too will take...

sorry for the doubble post here :?

I too once lost a puffer to a power head intake. I was suprised that he could even fit in the thing! He too was a strong, healthy swimmer with no previous problems. I think that some fish may be curious with the change of currents the power head creates, and once they get too close, they...

sorry for the double post, I really don't know what I'm doing wrong here! This is the third time I've done this. oops. :?

I'm glad you made a post here! I'm working on getting the CCS 220 hopefully soon, and am looking forward to what you think about your new toy. This product has been highly recommended, so I'm sure its well worth the wait. :D

Great topic, I live on a third floor apartment and was thinking about starting a 100 gal. next summer. With live rock, I'm guessing this will be about 1,000+lbs in about a 6x3 area depending on the stand. Weight is defineatly an issue I am concerned about, but I think if one builds a custom...

Well, I have lived with a house full of pets all of my life while growing up. When I graduated and moved out of the house, my mother got me an African red spotted tortoise as a gift. We named her gloria, and she could fit in the palm of my hand when we got her. She was my first tank mate of...

I did not notice what species we are talking about here, but if it is ick, I would rocommend Jason's method of the hypo with the copper. I did some research, and it did not sound to be safe. But after trying a few methods of treatments, my lion seemed as if he was a goner for sure so Jason's...

well, I did some research on QT's and tank setups, Sounds like the lion might have popeye due to poor water conditions. I read the advice that Fluff sent me on QT procedures and will get one set up immediately. What size tank would be a good QT tank for a lion. (he is about 7"). Hopefully I...

Thanks everyone for all of your posts, It's been five days now since my lions has eaten last.... I found someone at my LFS to take the yellow tang (why I had him in there in the first place...?), I have now been doing 10 gal. water changes once a day. Water conditions seem to be pretty close...

I'm going to get rid of the tang, buy a large skimmer, and hopefully find a 75 gal. tank so I can keep my Lion Fish! I gotta do something here! Thanks everyone! Mike

ammonia (the poison that ruined me) Thanks for all the posts submitted. This morning I checked the levels, and the ammonia is still at .20ppm and nitrate at .25ppm. I did another 5 gal. water change this afternoon and added some more Prime to help the ammonia. When I got home tonight, the...

I have a 40 gal. salt water tank. Filtration includes a Whisper bio-wheel, an under gravel filter system hooked up to a Tetratec Deep Water pump, and a 30 gal. air pump hooked up to some oxygen tubes to help circulate water and air. This is a fish only tank with coral substrate and no live...
