    Hair on my Tank Glass

    LionFish says....... This is a common form of hair algea. It can spread to ecedemic porportions in no time. I had this when I set up my first reef. It is a ncommon thing when first setting up a tank. I skimmed a lot and it eventually disappeared. It usually disappears after a short while. For...

    purple tang eating finger leather!

    LionFish says......... Although this is not a common happening, it occasionally occurs with Yellows, Purples, and even Hippos. But like I said very few do it. Your first choice is to give it a varied diet. If you don't feed it a lot of greens (algea, lettuce, seaweed selects, etc.) you should...

    What are these things?

    Lionfish says........ No worries. This are not harmful in the least bit. Although, I don't know the name of these I have several of these in my reef tank. They are just common filter feeders that can be found in almost any reef tank. They grow in the sand, some grow on the glass and I have quite...

    Grouper in Reef?

    Lionfish says....... As cool as I find Groupers to be, they really couldn't ever get a good spot in a reef. Of course a reef tank with a grouper wouldn't be a "Traditional" reef. I say this because, and this, in my own opinion, because to me a reef is a tank with lots of little inverts running...

    Cleaner Shrimp Eat Corals?

    LionFish says....... Well, I hate to burst some people's bubbles here but you can bet that a scarlet cleaner will rip up corals that feed. Now, I say this only as a precaution to keep them well fed. They are very good reef inhabitants, however, but if they are not properly fed they will tear...

    Strawberry Hermit Crabs

    LionFish says....... No, these will most likely persish soon after introduction to the tank. In an ideal shark tank you don't want a lot of rocks and that is what those hermits would need to hide in. They would eventually be found out and eaten. Of course, sharks aren't my expertise, still I...

    Volitan Lion Question

    LionFish says...... Well, first off welcome to the board. Now, Volitan Lions are my favorite of all the lionfish species. Great choice. They are very hardy as long as they have been trained to eat already dead food such as frozen shrimp. Next, they are calm and as far as aggressive fish go, they...

    Aptasia?

    LionFish says....... Recently I had a small outbreak of them in my reef. I've dealt with them before and they can do serious damage so get it taken care of quickly before they have a chance to really multiply. They spread rapidly and sting corals badly and can even grow all over the glass. I...

    anglers

    LionFish says....... Well, anglers, along with most fish, don't make good tankmates for sharks. Although they stay out of the way that shark could possibly just swim by a pick him off a rock. They are slow going fish with a huge appetite. They are pretty cool, but are very innactive. They don't...

    BurnNSPY

    LionFish says....... Like Burn said there is nothing to agree with. This is a free board that I think a lot of people like using and find useful so we don't need people like you starting trouble. The administrator pays for this board with his money and he happens to have a store on this site...

    To mad to title

    LionFish says...... Well, Pufferlover does know what he's talking about so don't condemn the guy. However, on my personal note here, you have just proved a point I have been trying to make to a lot of people. A lot of the people who swear that what I said was wrong about compatibility, just...

    Help!! My new flame angel is fading fast..

    LionFish says....... You have fed him 5 times since you got him? And you've only had him for 24 hours. Don't take this the wrong way, but you don't need to feed him like he is a St. Bernard. I recommend that Flames need at least a 6 month old tank with perfect water conditions to do well. They...

    Issues to be addressed

    LionFish says...... Well, seems like there has been some problems in the forums as of late. First off, I would like to apologise to everybody for letting that "member" to post something like that for that long. That was totally wrong and I won't have that crap in my forum so I deleted it. So, if...

    Porcupine Puffer died, Why?

    LionFish says...... Well, looking at this from a normal person's stand point, I can give you my true and honest opinion which I think is accurate. Think of it this way. You have a puffer and lion that happen to be the same size. And seeing as your water was fine and the only other fish in there...

    Lions

    LionFish says....... Well, when it comes down to it, you have to think of it this way. Lionfish, no matter what the variety, get large. And they need a lot of space. I have never personally owned a corner tank, due mostly because I have heating vents in the corners. If you feel the need to keep...

    Where's Lionfish???

    LionFish says....... I'm still around, just haven't been posting here lately. I have answered almost all the questions everybody has asked recently in this forum before, so I figure I would let you guys take care of it for now. I step in when needed but you guys seem to do quite well in this...

    harlequin tusk

    LionFish says........ Quick and easy answer here. It will absolutely destroy thos inverts. The only one that it might not attack would be the starfish. They can be hard to acclimate to a new tank but almost all of them make it. The only problem is acclimating the fish for the first 2 weeks. If...

    Brackish Question!

    LionFish says....... I have been in the brackish tanks for a long time. Anyone who knows me well enough knows I have a brackish tank up right now with my Archerfish. I have kept puffers with them but those nasty little critters nipped my Archers fins. They had to go. Puffers are the easiest of...

    Aggressive Flame Angelfish?

    LionFish says..... Well, truth be told, if it is that aggressive why keep it? If it's going to cause that much trouble I wouldn't deal with the nasty little fella. I have one in my 50 gallon reef tank. The little guy is pretty docile but he chases my Black-cap and Swissguard Basslet every so...
