LionFish says..... I had that problem too Sammy. I think that may have beeb the problem Corky. I tried to post something and I had to redo the post because it got all screwed up.

LionFish says..... Wow, I must say that not many tanks ever impress me. But your tank really is very beautiful and well-balanced with the colors of the fish and coral. I am so impressed that after looking at it for awhile, I think I will model my next tank's rockwork like yours. Great Work P.S...

LionFish says..... Well, The Pro is that you don't have to leave the warmth of your home to go pick up the little critter. But Salty named the biggest Con of all. You live in New York in and you know how cold it gets up here in the north. You would have to thaw the fish out when you got him. I...

LionFish says..... Happy Anniversary, Beth. You've been one of the most helpful people on the board. Here's to one year and hopefully many more.

LionFish says..... Well, what I've heard about sharks is that they need to have a tank 3 times bigger then them. If you had 2 and most sharks get to be 3 feet long or longer then you would need a much larger tank. You would probably need a 150 gallon for 1. If you wanted 2 you would need...

LionFish says..... Well, I went out and bought a JBJ power compact with four 96 watt bulbs. Came with dawn/dusk control too. Not cheap though. I am planning on putting in a Maxima clam. I found that book and it is very interesting. Well, I figured I would need about 400 watts so I got 374 watts...

LionFish says..... Well, I need a little help from someone who knows how much light there should be for a reef tank to mantain corals. I'm setting up a 50 gallon in 2 weeks so I want to know how much light I will need. I've heard numerous answers to this question before but don't really have a...

LionFish says..... That sounds like a great mix together. I've seen numerous people with large Maroon Clowns in with Puffers before. I'm not really sure with the Trigger and Clown together. But the Clown sounds big enough to handle himself. Just watch the trigger to make sure he doesn't pick on...

LionFish says..... If your readings are good I say you should try a new fish. A common fact is that all fish are curious. Your fish will be probably be interested in a new friend and will have to inspect him. Try a hardy specimen first. I think a Bangaii Cardinal would be a good fish to try...

LionFish says... I figured that the Groupers may be a bit large and aggressive. Actually I have never dealt with a Butterfly Fish before. Another good choice for Puffers might be an Anthias of some sort. Dwarf Lions do well with those fish too. Hmmmm, well do a little research on the Butterfly...

LionFish says..... Well, I figured that hte Tang would be a bit hard to keep. I have been in the hobby for a number of years and understand that tangs are not easy to care for but I am up for the challenge. ANYONE OUT THERE? COME ON GUYS GIVE ME SOME HELP HERE... I NEED SOME ADVISE.I want a...

LionFish says..... Ribbon Eels can spell trouble. You see, out of all the groups of eels, Ribbon Eels are the least hardy out of the whole bunch. I suggest a SnowFlake or generally morays. Moray Eels are much hardier and can become quite friendly to their owners. The situation with Ribbon Eels...

LionFish says..... I think there are a few Groupers that are quite colorful and would fit in with your other 2. But I think the Grouper would get a little big for a 55 gallon. Possibly a Dwarf Lion would add a little color to your tank.

LionFish says..... Since I am now getting prepared for a new tank I would like to have a Tang in the tank to control the algea problem. I would like to know what the minimum size a tank has to be for a tang to be happy in. Preferably I would like a Regal Blue Hippo Tang. The tank I am planning...

LionFish says..... WEll, once again I have to agree with Salty. All fish get stressed in big moves like that but eventually they will come out of it. As long as they're out for feedings then it should be fine. It took my Six-Line Wrasse awhile to come out of a move, but he snapped out of it when...

LionFish says..... Your post sounds exactly what I said when I bought a small batch at my LFS. GUESS WHAT.... after you get the stuff in it turns into a living nightmare. Let me put it this way, FishGirl, if you don't have a lot of tangs you're in for a world of trouble. I can't find half of the...

LionFish says.... This is how it goes with triggers. First of all I will not put 2 triggers together in any tank. Very true that the Niger is the calm one out of the family but that doesn't mean that they're going to get along with each other. Triggers, for the reason of the same body shape...

LionFish says..... Well, now that I have a little more time on my hands I can post again. So, what I need to know is the compatability of these fish. Now I rarely keep anything besides triggers, lions, or groupers in my tanks but I'm trying something new. I would like to put a Blue Ribbon Eel...

The rock... I mean lionfish says Hey guys, don't really have the time to check here anymore. I guess I got too wrapped up in my regular life to talk here. Well, I hope this isn't good-bye forever, maybe I will be back wheen I get things organised. See Ya guys....

LionFish says.... Sorry I haven' been here lately. Anyways my friend called the other day saying he got a fish in the live rock he bought that he didn't want. I asked him what it was, but he told me it was a surprise and it had poison and was cool. So I said just bring it in. Well I get home...
