i have a 40 gallon with about 15lbs of LR and 15 lbs of base rock. fuzzy dwarf lionfish, and an angler fish. their is also a domino damsel which for somereason, neather fish ate, so now its apart of the tank hehe. but would a skimmer be the only thing i need? i havent really lkooked into...

so my wonderful filter that i built myself is starting to come apart at the seems. im getting tired of trying to fix it, and are at the point where i can no longer deal with it. thinking of either A. building a new filter with a better design for less possiblity of leaks, or B. buying a...

yup, that wasp fish is definately a trooper. he's got some serious digestion on his fins though, should this be cause for concern? i do not have a QT to put him in, nor the money/equipment available to do it. he is swimming about as per the norm. he got close to the angler fish again and...

oh, and the wasp fish is a scorpianfish (also called a sailfin/rogue scorpian) here is compatability chart from livesquaria http://www.liveaquaria.com/general/compatibility_chart.cfm

update, at some point in the last 20 minutes the angler regurgitated the wasp fish, alive. both fish seem fine, wasp fish looks like he has seen better days though (looks like his dorsal fin was digested a bit) i have a fried who has a lionfish/angler fish tank, he gaver me the idea. but if...

its a 40 gallon predator only tank. it has about 15 lbs of live rock, and 15 lbs of base rock it currently has, one angler fish (exact spp unknown, just picked it up from LFS today) a fuzzy dwarf lionfish and that wasp fish all three spp. checked out on compatability lists, and so i...

yeah, didnt expect that, everyone has been saying that those two fish were compatable with each other at LFS...onmtop of which the fish were about equal in size. sure enough though, angler fish baited hima nd ate him within an hour of acclimation. im worried though that the angler will die...

well it just ate 5 ghost shrimp. went to the LFS i dont like going to and they ahd some shrimp. he ate them happily. but im gonna try the garlic idea in a couple days, see how he fairs

alright ill try that out. ty :)

true. i am just concerned because alot of the sites i checked say that feeder shrimp are a good idea. but LFS doesnt have that, and they recomended the goldfish. which didnt seem to work anyways.

on sunday i bought this ~3 inch fuzzy dwarf lion from my local petstore. he is the first of a a couple additons to be put in the tank (tank has been up for 2+ months cycling with two damsels in it) well the lionfish underwent a bit of a stress shock so for the first day he hid out of site. he...

yes, RO will remove copper, pretty much the only thing that can get through a RO membrane is water. semi permiable membrane is a great thing.

well the light is PC and not MH. its not both. from the buzz on lighting on these forums, people are going to say get a mh if you want those deleate corals. i persoanlly have no experience with corals or MH lights. so thats all i can tell you ;)

snails are about the only thing i can think of. :(

could be some kind of funguss

is it a DIY stand and canopy? my uncle riggged a pretty swwet system of lights in his DIY setup. just getting the raw bulbs, and no hood and wireing them to a timer. it was really intricate and sweet cause he had 4 bulbs, and according to the time of day, a certain number of them would turn...

2 maxijets should be sufficiant. people are saying 4 is good for their 125 gal tanks, so i'd assume two is good for the 55

i've also discovered that some fish act funny when direct light comes in from the side of the tank, instead of the top. i think it messes with their equilibrium, and whic way is up and down.

ok, i'm not 100% positive about this, but i dont think you should put that little of lr into a tank that size without it being cycled. there wont be enough lr to remove and actually filter and break down the nitrates/ammonia. again im not positive, i start my tanks sterile and slowly add...

ok, here is what i did for my tank... i got a CPR overflow, for like 65 from LFS, and glued like, 1/2 inch PVC to the output or what ever its called. then put a pvc nipple on it, in which i put 3/4 inch vinyl tubing (which i also got from LFS for like 1.00 a foot) and had it lead into my...

yeah, true. guess ill just stick to the angler and lionfish combo! white collar angler and a radiata lionfish i think. and thanks for the tips on snails!!!

hmmm. well what about tossing the lionfish idea and just having the anglerfish. suggestions for other fish in there? with the angler fish? and also, with the angler/lion setup, what kind of snails can i put in there?

ok, so my 38 gal SW tank is near its maturity for the filter. and i have some base rocks in there and yet to add the live rock. anyways, i am really looking into getting an angler fish for my tank, they are sooo cool and interesting tro me. they only get to about 4 inches or so (from what i...

i am currently looking at anglerfish (or frogfish as they are also known) very pretty looking and very cool. they only get to about 4 inches, but its another predator to add in :)

im looking into getting a scorpian fish for my SW tank. most of the ones i see for sale never really get bigger then 4-8 inches. and then the key is just having fish that are to big for them to eat after that :D
