A skimmer that has an overflow? AKA Prizm 120 Deluxe..something like that. Or some other sort of skimmer/filtration that has an overflow. Jrittz

I would say with your 20 gallon tank and a 1-1.5" Cow Fish, you're probably safe for 5-6 months. Then that is when you would absolutely want to upgrade tanks. The problem with that is this...When you upgrade tanks, you need to have the tank up and running for a certain amount of time before...

Well it's been roughly 7 months since i've gotten my Cow Fish, Bessie. She's doing great, her horn is growing back slowly but surely. She doesnt seem to be ramming the hood any more. We got her when she was around 2 inches long including horns and today, 7 months later, she's nearly 6 inches...

Tonight I was in the process of a treatment via Greenex. I have to take out the carbon filters from my powerhead intakes and out of the Emperor 400 Wet/Dry. Anyways... When taking out the carbon filters form the Emperor they have a sort of blue brillo pad type filter attached. I noticed many...

Doh, I did forget to mention that. When you preview a pic before you hit submit... It wont work. :)

You people amaze me. You hijack this thread to get your personal arguements out in the open. Everybody has their own methods of solving a problem and they may actually work but you do not take the time to contribute to the solution, rather, arguing and confusing the person who needs help the...

It is indeed true, anything a lion fish can fit in his mouth he will eat. There are only a few exceptions to this but they are not always exceptions. If it swims near its face, it stands the chance of being swallowed whole. Sometimes even if the fish itself is bigger than its mouth it will...

I believe there are several factors when considering top or no top. One, what are you going to have in the tank? There are many fish out there that have the chance of jumping out. There are also eels that will most definatly climb out without hesitation. Water levels are another key factor...

You can also get a bubble tip anemone. These anemone's do not sting and if they do it's something we cant feel if we touch them. Once the anemone finds a spot, they usually stay put. On occasion they will move. But not frequently. I believe you will be safe with this type of anemone and the...

Dont use the IMG button, at the bottom use the Attach File..Browse feature. Jrittz

With all the settings in the above post I just clicked on browse and double clicked on the pic I wanted posted. Clicked Submit Reply and it worked. I can't think of anything else that would be preventing you from uploading pictures. Maybe you're trying to cut it too close with image size.. You...

Now the maximum size is 125,000 bytes. This is 125k. When you right click on the file and go to properties make sure there is nothing that is over 125kb. Test it out with an image that you know is really small and fits within the criteria this message board has set. My settings are as follows...

Yes, these fish can get very large. But that wouldnt be for several years.

Anytime, if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. :)

I've read every single post in regards to sumps and refugiums. I really didn't get the jist of what they are all about. I'm currently having a problem with air bubbles in my tank. I've tried several ways to eliminate them with no luck. This has lead me into consideration of building a sump...

Your lion will eat anything that can fit into its mouth. Sometimes it will even attempt to eat things that are too big. :D Jrittz

I've heard CBS and Choc Stars can be aggressive. Not that it's always the case. This is the very reason I held off from buying the CBS. Aggressive shrimp they are. :yes: It definately doesnt appear to be caused by bad water conditions. Just my 2 cents. Jrittz

Also, your pictures need to be gif, jpg, png, and bmp's. They cannot exceed 100kb and one last thing, they cannot exceed 500x500 pixels. Jrittz

I thought the point of a marine aquarist was to be one with nature, not be one with genetic science? Go figure. :notsure: I'm not opposed to it, I just think it defeats the purpose. Very Odd Indeed. Jrittz

In my experiences so far... I think anything that dies in a tank creates ammonia once it breaks down but it sounds like in your case there was little die off. It may create a very small spike but I doubt there's really much you need to worry about. If there was a lot of algae that died off...
