The only Hawaiian Tigers that I know of are tiger sharks. I lived there for years and never heard of one. Do you have a picture?

I've worked with glass and different plastics, both are fairly easy to work with and have their pros and cons. As far as silicone, make sure that you use one that is designed for aquariums, some have poisons to kill mold like those made for bathrooms.

I use to catch wild ornimentals for the aquarium trade, it's easy to catch them by hand if you move realy slow.

It sounds like you have a good case of ICK. And on the specific gravity I hope you ment 1.021.

Are all of the fish listed dead? How long was the tank set up before you started addinig fish? How many fish did you add the last time, all 15 at once? What type of filtration system are you using? What kind of lights do you have? What are your long term goals? Fish only, fish w/ LR or reef? And...

Puffers are not reef safe. If you want the puffer, take the coral back to the store.

Spectrapure gets my vote and my business.

"Marine Fish and Reef" is an annual publication, 2004 has a lot of good articles. "Aquarium Fish" is a monthly pub that's good, here's the number if you want to subscribe 800-833-7000. Another one is "Freshwater and Marine Aquarium" They have good articles too, but a lot of advertisments. They...

I wouldn't worry, I've had one of my aquariums for 34 years now, yes 34 years! And as I look at it right now the water level differance from front to back is about 3/8. I had to recently replace the front glass, I broke it durring a move. Other than that it has never failed.

I don't even buy feeder fish there. With ***** the story is always the same...sick fish! I can always find better prices and better quality animals elsewhere.

I've seen them as high as $120 and as low as $40 for a small one (2").

I would try to get someone to look after my tank, but I know that it's not always possible. You could cover the tank and sump with plastic wrap to reduce evaporation and leave your pumps running. As far as the auto feeders, I don't know anything about them, but thought of trying them myself a...

I just read a article on study done on DSB's and sand studied in the wild. They claimed that the majority bacteria and chemical reaction takes place in the first few cm's of the sand bed and 80% of the animials occured within the first 2", beyond that there wasn't much benifit.

Here's a picture.

Pete, I use Spectrapure 2000 Plus RO/DI, it is very simple to use as I imagin that most are. It simply screws on the tap like a garden hose on one end, and has a discharge hose and a pure water hose on the other. Use the pure water to fill your buckets or tank and the discharge to water the plants.

In Hawaii I had a zebra moray that was 4 feet. I watched him eat a fair sized octopus just before I caught him. Most of the zebra's that I caught were between 2'-3'.

Unless your CPR is a CY194 or 294, it's too small and not rated for a tank of that size.

I miss living in the tropics. With the ocean right there why not catch your own fish and inverts? Just make sure that you have the proper permits if required.

Many of these web sites sell clean up crews designed for specific sized aquariums. Look under reef packages.
