I've already done the move, they've been here now for 2 days. Lion is eating but grouper isn't. His original owner is coming over tonight to try and get him eating. Sounds strange, but He does seem to recognise familiar ppl. I'll ask him about his thoughts on the harlequin. I'd really like to...

I got this fish with my 240 gal set-up I bought privately - the guy doesn't know what he is and neither do I! Looks like a small Oscar, and is all black. Here's a link; http://s232.photobucket.com/albums/e...t=100_1832.jpg

240 gal tank - http://s232.photobucket.com/albums/ee98/chuggstas/ 55 gal tank - http://s232.photobucket.com/albums/e...tas/communal1/ At the moment I'm debating whether to leave the 2 tanks seperate or put the divider back in the 240 and put it back the way it was. 5' x 2' x 2' for the lion and...

The guy I bought the tank off originally bought the harlequin to put in with the grouper and lion, but he was getting beaten up by the grouper. A pity, because he's probably a bit big for the 55 but not big or mean enough to live with the "Big boys", in the 240. Maybe I can try him in there...

Yeah, he's an awesome fish, I'm picking up the whole tank tomorrow. He's sharing the tank with a small lion fish and a blue crayfish. They have all been together quite a while now, I think the grouper's about 8 years old. I had a thread going about it earlier, with a lot of questions, but maybe...

In the process of buying a 240 with a beautiful Miniatus Grouper in it, really wanted to know what the average life expectancy would be? Anyone got any ball park figures?

I set up a nano tank a few years ago and used nothing but beach sand (Washed thoroughly) and sea water, which I sourced from my LFS. He used to sell it for $2.00 for 20 litres. I don't know exactly where he got it from but he used it in all his tanks, and I had no problems with it either. Then I...

I just use the AVG free edition. Downloaded it for free about 2 years ago, never had a problem. I've had some of the expensive ones in the past and still managed to get viruses, but so far so good. Touch wood...

Well, I'm picking up the whole tank this weekend, complete with all inhabitants. There is a crayfish in there, but the guy who is selling it has taken him out during the last week and put into qt tank, he thinks it may have some disease and doesn't hold much hope for it, which is a pity, coz...

The guy wants to sell me all the smaller fish as well, he has a divider in there, the 2 bigger fish get about 2/3 or maybe 3/4 of the tank, the smaller ones are in the end. I'm in 2 minds - I wouldn't mind keeping the divider in there, with some smaller ones, but I'd like to open the tank right...

Have a look at this site. This is how just about all Australian tanks are built. Not a bad read, either. I'd like to have a crack at building one myself...if only the glass wasn't so expensive! http://www.austinglass.com.au/The%20secret.htm

Hmmm, shark...eel...I like what I'm hearing! I like mean critters - will look into it. thanks for your inputs

I started off with a 10 gal nano tank, with nothing more than a small HOB filter, beach sand on the bottom, a piece of liverock, a fluro strip light with a coralife tube and a blue damsel. I had to constantly check the water and adjust to keep salinity in spec, but I loved it. I've had 2 bigger...

I'm thinking about buying a 240 gal tank, with a coral cod and a lionfish. The guy selling needs to get rid of it as he is moving and I can buy it cheap. I've had s/w experience, but only with small fish. He says it's very easy to look after and very hardy. Anything I should know before taking...

It's recommended for glass tanks here, and as mentioned before, there are tank manufacturers that won't warranty the tank if you don't use it. I always use it, it's about the cheapest insurance you can get IMO. I have had 1 problem with it tho - once I sat a 55 gallon tank on its stand and...

I kept a mantis for about 3 months in a 10 gal nano tank. I just used a bit of sand on the bottom, gave him a nice sized piece of L/R to hide under, a heater and a small submergible power filter. He did eventually die, but I'm not sure why. We were feeding him frozen pilchards that we bought...

I'm setting up a 10 gallon QT/hospital tank, and was going to cycle it with a small bit of L/R from my main display tank, but was wondering how to keep it cycled. If I just cycle it, then don't use it, it will lose its cycle, right? I have another problem as well - I'm hearing clicking coming...

A silly question - how do you make L/R out of CC???

How about a Mantis? I had one in a 10 gal tank, it was awesome. It died a week ago, not sure what happened to it, but it was the coolest thing to watch. Definately aggressive! I'm hearing another one clicking away in my main tank now, so I'm gonna have to try and catch him and put him in a 10...

I decided to stick with the CC. I spent hours last night, reading up on archive threads, and I know I'll probably get flamed for this, but I decided that I'll stick with what I've got, seeing as the tank will be basically FOWLR. I have tons of L/R, so I'll be using that, plus the Jebo and the...
