One of the judges that used to work the shows I'd enter had one for 15 years or so in his own 150. The thing would eat out of his hand. One day he dropped his net in the water , reached in to grap it and the trigger bit his arm off. Well not all the way off but he got a complete piece of the...

Yes there are fish shows! I used to show fish a lot. I'd get a beat up one with good markings from the distributor I worked at. ( I actually use to know evry fishes judging points, Like in dogs where certain breeds legs had to be a % of their length, etc.) I'd raise them, put them in a show, bag...

Is he getting skinny? Fish don't have saliva so a lot of times they appear to take a bite then spit it out, little babies like him tend to do that more. His appearant interest in the food is a good sign, not realy the same as not eating. Let us know if he's getting skinny.

PonieGirl, what else went in that tank? Was it just the LR? If so I think you just disproved the popular theory that LR can be used to filter water.

I wouldn't really call them aggressive, but definately a "last guy in" kinda fish. If they feel crowded they will get nippy.

Point well taken. IMO this was really just a heated debate over ionization techmiques. If you aren't familiar with this theories, certainly don't try to implement the practices. Also IMO, the only qualification for being able to post advice on a message board is an email address. All advice...

It's like Biodome underwater The ultimate goal has always been to find that balance where and enclosed eco system becomes self regulating. Chemi-Pure does what that other thing says it does. It ionises the water and releases pollutants trapped between the water molecules. Then your plant life...

Cool. You know I was thinking about things people could do, especially beginners, that would make this method fail. If the lfs' system is 1000 gallons, you would need 5% of the filter media to do a 55. OK that's just math, but, if the system in question has LR, then what? The bacteria is spread...

Sorry, thats all I got ta say. I'm sure that the fewer people that believe in my friends secret weapon the better for him.

apology accepted. Is the rock your only filter media in the 55? Like I said, if what is holding the bateria in your 55 is above what would be nessasary then it would be spread too thin for it to work. i'm not saying that there's such a thing as too much filtration, just that what you transfer...

LOL I will say that the tube of fridge magnets obviously did nothing, to keep a BBB 100% customer satisfaction rating the need only promptly return the money of everyone that asked for it. That sure doesn't mean that it works. I'm sure my friend agrees that if he had done water changes matbe his...

Yeah, I was looking at that site and noticed those tank sizes. Amazing. They were so far off I had to read it ahain to make sure I was understanding them correctly. they did indeed state that a 55 was good for an Imperator. In fact, they list 55 as minimum for every angel. French Angel in a 55...

did you just call my friend full of s**t?

I decided to quit addressing these posts when my abilities as a father were attacked. I defended myself as a good parent snd that was going to be my last words. Beside that, I havent responded because none of you have actually tried this. You are theorizing that it wont work, and I have actually...

This is a bit off topic, but you can never eally trust a wild animal like a trigger. One of the show judges I knew raised a Clown Trigger for over 10 years in a 150. It won 7 best of shows in one year. It was HUGE. Anyways, he liked to feed him by hand all the time. One day when he was scraping...

LOL I Googled L.F.S. and couldn't find a corp named exactly that way. In the last big store system I helped set up, we used pvc drill hole shavings for the filter media. When we went to pick up the pipe it was everywhere. There was one machine that fed the shavings right into a box as it ran and...

Nigers can hit 1', Porcupines 1'6".

Heres one of those wacky tips I picked up from a store owner in Hawaii that has kept coral since the forties. Good lights hadn't been inveted yet so once a week he'd put his corals completely submerged in bowls of tank water and take them out in the yard. The temp goes up pretty fast in the sun...

By "corner flow" tank I will assume you mean there is an overflow in the corner that leads to a filter that then has a return hose. If this is the case the water input should be at the other end. If you mean that there is a built in filter in the corner and doesnt seem to circulate the other end...

Yeah for salt I'd rather have the straight well water, unless theres something bad in it. Sometimes its hard to bypass the softener or where you can you get sediment or whatever.
