A daily activity worth doing. My wife lost her mom at 12 due to BC. Maybe some pain and loss can be averted. I'm in.

This is pretty weird, I just logged on for the first time in a month or two to see if I could find out why my volitan is doing the same thng. hes not eating and his coloration has lightened up and he's lazy. hmm, guess I'll just ride it out.

my poor clown never had a chance. I figured if I got one big enough he'd be ok with the lion. I put him in and bam...gone, 12 bucks for a feeder.

inch and a quarter sub floor with two 2x4s front and back. secure the sub floor to the 2x4s with 3" wood screws 9"s apart. Pre drill the sub floor and about 1" into the 2x4s with a 1/8" dril bit. use liquid nails or some other construction adheasive too. this is not my advise, this is what I...

I use UG filters for exactally the oposite reason, I find them easier to clean, with my rainbow vacuum cleaner (a shop vac should work too never tried that though). I made a cone for the end of it and about 2 seconds of suction on the riser tube and there is nothing left under the thing. it...

My volitan would only eat live damsels at first then one day I tricked him and threw a 1/2 a silverside in the bag and let him hit on that for a while then dumped it in and bammo he was weened now he'll eat almost anything that comes in a bag (squid, octopuss, krill, silversides, my sons...

heres a pretty cool thing I stumbled onto. My Lion wouldn't ween to frozen food, he'd look at it and go back to stalking my yellow tail damsels (which were originally food for him, I'd buy two each time and he'd snag one then stalk and eventually catch the other) well now bags drive him nuts he...

I'd like to see an answer on this one too. If curing means time then I bought an already cured rock. if it means time in a tank in particular then I'm done curing mine??????????????hmmmm? but to what end? looks the same to me just bigger worms now.????

guess I don't have to know how.. the first one don't work but the second one does

This was started in another post but i don't want it to be lost in the clamor. heres the address to a couple of sites that are doing a water purification process using a atomization/freeze process http://agric.gov.ab.ca/sustain/water/factsheet1.html http://www.watertek.org/FAQ.htm I dont know...

Sorry, I'm on vacation right now, just got married and such. all the info I need is at work and I'll try to find it, unfortunatly this all happened about 3 years ago and was dropped after protest from the local residents about skiing on exfoliant snow (they golf on exfoliant grass and don't...

2257 replies, think maybe hes been down this road once or twice? Id say thats almost a book all for nothing no pay nothing all out of the goodness of his heart and a desire to help others suceed and not make the mistakes he and countless others have. How can you read an attitude into that...

IME nitrates are only removed from a body of water two ways areation and deep sand beds. you have somewhat of a dsb so ill hit areation. (My experience in this comes from snowmaking in the ski industry) atomization is the best form of areation. ALL impurities will leave water upon when it is...

Your kind of in the same boat I was about 2 months ago. I bought a volitan lion on a whim (I wanted sharks but 100g isn't big enough for life) well, I love my volitan he is the coolest most patient stalking hunter i have ever seen. I sit for hours and watch him. my neibors come over and its like...

I have a volitan in a 100g and my nitrates have never gotten over 15. hes the only permanant occupant with about 4 damsels to chase and eat. Ive nver done a water change. I use carbon filters and bioballs in the in tank wet/dry @ 300 gpm and a fluval 4 power head with a large sponge prefilter @...
