    lion fish stings

    The key here to pay attention to where your hand is in the tank. I don't believe that they could go through gloves. You could buy the ones people use for washing dishes and keep them only for the tank. Obviously you don't want to have had any chemicals or soap on the gloves prior. But use common...

    Well if you can't find a LFS that wants him then just massive water changes for another couple months until you upgrade would have been my other suggestion. That way you can keep him. You may be dealing with a few other deaths in your tank with more fish though.

    Man Threatens To Assasinate Pres Bush

    Someone is always going to try to assassinate the president. It is in the nature of the job. That is why their security is so high. I don't want to see anyone killed but I have to think that it might not have been bad for the country if they had succeeded with our current idiot that is in...

    Tank Switch?

    Just go to the grocery store and get some RO drinking water. It's usually only $1 a gallon and start doing your water changes with that. You can mix the salt the day before and let it sit over night so you know it is mixed well. That way it wouldn't cost you too much.

    Wrasse Dilema. Please help? =(

    RO is just better in the long run for the health of the tank, but it is also more expensive. Just like you drinking tap water. Sure you can survive but it still isn't good for you. You are working on time constraints here though. You can go to the grocery store and get RO drinking water that has...

    Slack, you are being whiner. You took on the responsibility of this fish with the knowledge that you really do not need any other fish in your tanks. You even said so yourself, that you can't handle the bioload. You know as well as we do that you wouldn't be able to handle the bioload of a 7"...

    Well its better than having a bunch of fish die and this one too. Maybe they can hold it for you and when you get your 500 you can put him back into the tank and have a huge show fish......that sounds like the best plan yet to me.

    Well you have the two tanks right? If you are only talking two months, do you think that you could shift some fish around so he is less stressed and then once you get that tank set up, you could keep him? It seems like a shame to get rid of such a beautiful fish. I am saying this realizing that...

    This why we all think it is a shame that you ended up with this fish. Everyone here who has seen you post knew that this would end badly. And here it is.....a fish too large that you can't take care of it and it is completely stressed out and now you can't get rid of it. Have you thought of your...

    update! new M/F crosshatch triggers

    Because, the majority of the time you give bad advice and everyone knows it. Don't act ignorant like you don't know what they are talking about. You ways aren't just different, they go against everything that common sense tells us to do. Just because humans used to eat wild animals doesn't mean...

    i need some advice!!!!!!!!!

    Everyone here is going to tell you to slow down. I know that you want this so bad you can taste it and they are awesome fish. If you rush this then you are probably going to regret it later. You are in the right place. Do some research, continue to ask questions, and when you think you are...
