Hi all, I have been away for a while.. but wanted to drop in and ask some advice. I have a 260 gallon FOWLR aquarium containing an emperor angel, a longnose butterfly, a volitans lion, a harlequin tuskfish and a blue ribbon eel. Now, I bought the eel a while back knowing all the caveats...

I am getting ready to build a 180 gallon to accomodate my growing fish (1 emperor angel, 1 volitan lion, 1 longnose butterfly) and was thinking about a ribbon eel to complete the collection. YES I know they are very hard to keep.. but has ANYONE had success with getting them to feed?

Hi all.. the Saga continues. I now have a Yellow Longnose butterfly, a Black Volitans lion and a juvenile Emperor Angel.. so far so good! Sorry for the Quality.. my cam is on the fritz.. these were taken with a mobile phone LOL

Hi all, Got my new fishes yesterday after six weeks of waiting (I had a tank wipeout .. marine velvet) I'm VERY nervous! Following the advice of several people, I feed the bacterial colonies in the qaurenine and main tanks with sources of ammonia so I could add three fish at one time...

Hi all, I am rebuilding my tank after a complete loss of fish to Marine Velvet.. got a 75 gallon that I will be upgrading at some point to a 150 gallon, so long term bio load will not be an issue. My goals for the new tank setup include a more active and diverse tank, with smaller fish than...

Well... I managed to lose my only two fish to what I now beleive was Marine Velvet :cry: The Miniatus Grouper died this morning, the Volitans tonight. So now I have 3 hermit crabs, 2 feather duster worms and 55 lbs of live rock in a 75 gallon tank... where do I go from here? :? I currently...

Hi all, As you all know who have read my last posts, my main display tank has Ich.. I am treating with a combo of Kick-Ich, Garlic, lowered salinity (1.019) and raised temp (81). It's working.. SLOWLY. The grouper appears to have kicked it's ailments.. no more scratching.. doesn't hang out...

I know this is a little "blurred" but I still think it's a great pic of my grouper

I caught a picture of some of the aggressive behaivor of these two fish.. I've tried moving things around, ect. to no avail.. it's not outright aggression.. but the lion keeps the grouper cornered almost all the time.. "shadows' him around the tank.. any suggestions?

I've made some close ups of my lionfish.. I am 99% sure this is ich.. just want second opinions. I've circled the white spots with green

Hi all, I'm drawing up plans for a new house.. and, after some serious thought, I've decided to include a built in Aquarium. The dimensions for the "show area" are 8 feet long, 4 feet wide and 3 feet high. Needless to say.. it's huge! This would be a 718 gallon aquarium, weighing in at 6100...

Hi all.. Well after much trouble shooting.. I've finally decided my tank has Ich. Now I'm using Kick-Ich (and yes.. I know I should have a quarantine tank... .. but it's cycling right now) The instructions say nothing about removing carbon from filtration.. does anyone know if I should be...

I've been doing my research on a couple of good tankmates for my Vloitans Lion and Miniatus Grouper.. originally thought a Rectangular Trigger.. but was scared of my lion becoming a chew toy. So now I am looking at Tangs. The Sohal Tang keeps coming up as a good tang for predator tanks...

Here are a couple of pics.. having some trouble with the tank (see getting started thread) but I think these turned out pretty good.. hard to get the grouper to come out for a smile at the cam.. but the lion loves the camera LOL

Hi all, Various things are happening with my new salt tank I can't really explain.. nothing disasterous (yet).. but tell me what you think. First fish: A 4 " Black Volitans Lion.. a real beauty.. very aware and feeds easily. all sub and supraorbital protrusions intact.. however.. LFS broke...

I am so excited! After a month of cycling.. I just got my first saltwater fish in almost 10 years!! :) YAYYY! He's a beauty of a volitans lion.. I've included a pic I took last night.. he's about 4 inches long. At the moment, he's (very enthusiastically) eating *small* FW minnows. Of...

I am relatively new to the saltwater world.. I have only kept two previous tanks, one a 30 gallon with one medium volitans lionfish and a UG filter.. it was successful (until a college roomate drunkenly tipped his ashtray into the tank!!!)That was several years ago. Now I am purchasing a 55...
