Recently purchased my first Volitan Lionfish. It has been 4 days now and he refuses to take any food i offer him. I have tried frozen krill, mysis, brine, silversides. At first i would drop food in near him and he wanted nothing to do with it. I got a set of feeder tongs and tried waving it near...

also how long have you had the tank up and running? and how long have you had all the fish in the tank together?

I think pet stores are going to use it because they are constantly getting in new fish and none of them get quarantined before they dump them in. I could be wrong but if you are going to be keeping inverts i dont know how it will effect them over time. I dont think it is necessary to treat your...

Thanks for the advice. i think for now i am going to just set this new tank up and see how the flow is and will just mod the tank as it needs it. i guess since it is acrylic it shouldnt be too bad.

Also if I did decide to convert my 72 gallon that is currently fowlr that has been running for 7 months now. In your opinion is that mature enough to start putting coral in. Granted I have to updgrade lights and add powerheads.

True true. i can just convert my 70. I have a porcupine puffer that i dont think is totally reef safe. My wife loves him so he is our main concern. I think you guys are right i am going to look into possible modding this tank that i just recieved. possibly trying to remove the sump in the tank...

I currently have a 70 gallon FOWLR setup that is doing great. I wanted to keep that tank as is and start dabbling in a reef setup. A friend was giving away a 65 gallon acrylic tank with stand and lights. I figured i would take it and give reef a shot. I wasnt really paying to much attention when...

Thank you. No inverts at the moment

I made a very stupid mistake by introducing fish to fast into my tank without the correct amount of live rock. What a disaster. Take it from someone that went through it. Get as much live rock as you can possibly afford right now and cycle your tank fishless. And save yourself the tons of money...

That is an excellent article. Thank you for posting that. That answered alot of the questions i had. I think with the amount of fish i have it might be best to just use my display tank and remove my live rock and put them into my hospital tank. After i do this i just hope that the biological...

Yeah i didnt think that would work to well. I am just thinking out loud but would this work better if i removed my live rock from my display tank and did the hypo treatment in there. i can put my live rock in my QT so that will not be harmed and this way i will have an establshed filter and the...

thanks for your reply. I only have a 29 gallon QT will that tank be large enough to keep the puffer, blue jaw, clown, lawnmower blenny, and a pearly jawfish. I would be worried that the blenny and jawfish would die in QT since the jawfish has no where to dig and hide and the blenny would have no...

Good Afternoon everyone, Started off with a FOWLR setup 72 gallon bowfront ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate between 10 and 20 temp 82-84 Everything was going great and i noticed that my porcupine puffer and Blue Jaw Trigger had some white spots. All other fish are fine. So i went out and purchased...
