What makes you think you're overstocked...I'd add a cuttlefish into the mix. Just kidding. Like JWT said, I'd get the 180 up real soon. That's not much help...but it's the truth. Bluto

Saltygurl, It's been my experience that this particular discussion group (aggressive setups) is much worse than the others on this board with regard to heated arguments. Why is that? Who knows. Maybe it's because this group deals repeatedly with stocking, compatibility, and feasibility...

I guess the Tetra krill is like fish-twinkies. Bluto

I just posted a thread in the fish discussion about my porcupine puffer who'll only eat a specific BRAND of krill (Tetra, he'll spit out anything else)...never mind flake, pellet, frozen, or his tankmates. So sometimes generalizations can be incorrect. Bluto

Cowboy????????? I was going to add something...but anthem's already said it all. Bluto

I've never had one but have always heard you should definately not overfeed and wean them off live food if possible. Apparently the live freshwater food is simply not nutritionally adequate enough. I've actually even heard that the majority of lion deaths are probably due to overfeeding. Bluto

Here's a thought: Stop posting questions if you're just going to act like a 2 year old everytime someone gives you an answer you don't like. I'm sure you'll probably throw another tantrum now...but the majority of us are here to ask questions, get advice, and learn something. That doesn't...

My porky puffer's a wuss as well. Not only does he ignore other fish, pep shrimps, hermits, and everything else in my tank...he'll only eat a particular BRAND of freeze dried shrimp. Other brand's he spits out with disdain. The funny thing is...my Naso thinks the puffer is the balls. He swims...

From what I've heard (not personal experience)...yes. Why not try a Moorish Idol instead...just kidding. I've always heard seahorses need a very quiet tank, are difficult to feed, and have to be fed 4 times a day. However my local LFS has captive raised seahorses which they claim are much...

"Dr Burgesses Atlas of Marine Aquarium Fishes" is ALL pictures but the info on each species is limited to just facts (size, aquarium requirements, etc.), no write-up on each species. My personal favorite book is Robert Fenner's "The Conscientious Marine Aquarist". It has some pictures (not a...

I've actually got two feeding questions: I picked up a 3" Naso last week and so far the only thing he'll eat is Nori. I'm not that concerned because he goes thru 2 3-4" sheets (in the clip) per day. But I'm wondering if I should be soaking it before putting it in the tank? It obviously...

I name all my fish after characters from "The Sopranos". Pinktail Trigger= Tony Porcupine Puffer= Silvio Nasu Tang= Janice I'm getting a snowflake next....Pauley Walnuts. Bluto

My interpretation of the question was..."do you think this will work?". The consenses seems to be NO. Questions like that get posted on this board all the time (it's what the board is here for). When someone posts such a question, he's essentially asking people what they "think" he should do...

JWTROGAN44, I agree. I've spent a little time on a Raging Bull board which at times gets pretty vicious. But you can almost understand that because money's involved. Here the purpose is to exchange knowledge and foster the inteligent, "concientious", growth of the hobby. Unfortunately there...

As a member/participant of other boards I've seen this phenomenon before. As you said...someone feels emboldened by the "facelessness" of the internet and takes a juvenile potshot at someone else because they don't actually have to confront them. Hence, there are no consequences for that person...

Anyone ever tried to modify a Remora Pro skimmer for use in a sump? I posted a thread a few weeks ago about attempting to hang a Remora Pro off a sump, however after taking a look at the Urchin's I've realized the two models really aren't that different. For instance, it appears as if the Urchin...

Well...settle down Beavis. Someday you might be wrong about something. Bluto

No, I've had him quite awhile. I actually got rid of my pinktail trigger because he was so obnoxious. Bluto

There are also some species of fish which really appreciate a natural meal inside the tank versus something presented to them. I just posted in another thread a question about my new Naso Tang which thus far (I've had him 2 days) hasn't touched anything I've tried to give him. However my 90G...

I guess I'm wondering if you're supplementing your Tangs natural diet with prepared food?? Bluto
