    Info on netting lionfish?

    Well, if you use a specimen container to get the fish from qt to dt, then wouldn't you be putting medicated water in your dt? Even if you do massive water changes in the qt, there are always traces of medication in the qt. So it's really a tradeoff. When I move my fish from qt to dt, I have a...

    Acrylic and silicone?

    Score and snap will not make a good square cut. You need a tablesaw with a 60 tooth blade. Or you can use a circulr saw with a really good trim blade on it... Thats what I use. Oh, you could also glue it with weld-on #16. It would be much easier to use and it is nice and thick.

    Acrylic and silicone?

    If you use weld on 3 or 4 it better be a perfect fit and the joints need to be properly prepared. Weld on 3 and 4 are water thin. They do not and will not fill gaps.

    Moorish Idol, anyone have one?

    If you want a morrish idol, get one. If it dies, fillet it, fry it, and have a morrish idol po-boy. This way nothing is wasted.

    emerald crab or hermit knocking over corals?

    Probably a combination of all three. Get some underwater lr epoxy puddy and stick your frags to rocks with it. It works great and you can break the frag back off if need be. Just lying the frags around randomly on rocks usually won't work and your just wasting your time. Find a suitable spot and...

    A local reefer offered the following frag pack to me for 125.00.... I told him sold! I thought it was a good deal considering the local lfs charges 59.99 for a baby blue staghorn.... So, is this a good deal or not? Also he says hes going to throw in some freebees. Frags are all 1.5'' or greater...

    Info on netting lionfish?

    Im not in to netting lions because of the spines, but not netting others seems a little silly like a lot of the other bs post on this entire forum. Its a fish, net it, get it over with. Most lfs carry nice soft nets.

    Help with Xenia

    Give it time. I have 2 species of zenia. If I move it, or frag it, it takes a few days for it to start looking good again. It took nearly a week before it fully acclimated to my system and another week before it started pulsing. My zenia will not tolerate high flow areas, it shrivels up in high...
