    Good corals for low light

    There are some non-photosynthetic corals, but they require ALOT of care. I agree with the post on you purchasing some lights before corals. Your lights are not enough for mushrooms. Sun coral/Tubastrea sp. don't need any light, but need lots of planktonic food, which means extra cleanings and...

    anyone know where you can buy a sea turtle?

    AAAHHHH, felonies mentioned on a thread. All Sea Turtles are endangered, and they are just as illegal to keep as a Bald Eagle. Jail, fines, confiscations, etc. My place of employment has some. But we are one of the only LEGAL rescue/recovery programs in the country. We just had 2 Kemps Ridley...

    suggestions on plumbing my 800

    I design and maintain commercial systems for a living. A downdraft skimmer is not feasible to inject ozone into. You would need an ozone reactor, or use a venturi, needle wheel, etc method of injection. Remember that PVC does not hold up with ozone applied. Proper use of ozone will not harm...

    will my volitan lion attack

    I agree with the other posts. It is VERY important to keep an eye on a lion when your hands are in the tank. Lions won't attack, but they usually won't run away. If you move into them, you will probably get stung.

    Opening a Fish Store.

    For starters, don't let the folks in Mass. know you are a Yankees fan. That can't be good for business in New England.

    A ticked off teacher!

    Ok, I don't agree with Schubert, but how does one argue with someone who types several paragraphs on saltwaterfish.com without any punctuation or grammatical errors??? MODS- Please kick this guy with proper grammer off the boards. He is making it too easy to understand!!!

    uv light

    You might want to search some of my past UV posts. UV sterilizers work by compromising the molecular structure of an organism. The larger the organism, the harder it is for UV to kill. UVs are very effective at killing viruses, bacteria and unicellular algae. They don't work well on parasites...

    Nemo!

    OK, I can agree on that. Don't you hate when someone plays Devil's advocate?

    Nemo!

    Several more examples... Do you think manufacturers of cotton tip applicators, or facial tissues like the fact that the common names for their products are their competitors brand names. In fact, most readers of this post don't know what a cotton tip applicator is. You might know it as a...

    Nemo!

    And in the past 3 years, "Nemo" has become a common name. Whether we like it or not, "Nemo" is now part of the norm, and its not going to change. In the 1970's people weren't happy with short-shorts being named after a TV character. Today, every American knows what "Daisy Dukes" are. The names...

    Is This True (Re: Catching Fish While They Are Asleep)

    Theoretically, you could catch any sleeping fish. Triggers are "a deer in the headlights" when it comes to sleeping. They feel that their trigger-up position makes them totally safe, thus they don't resist if you pull their rock out.

    Is This True (Re: Catching Fish While They Are Asleep)

    The sleeping method only works on triggers. They will "lock" themselves in place once they go to sleep.
