I've got a trio of these (1M&2F) beautiful fish. Very peaceful, need more room than most fish their size, one of the easiest flasher Wrasse, 2 males will not tolerate each other, don't like any aggression, SERIOUS JUMPERS!.

I'll take a stab at being 'Geek of the Week"----I think its some species of bitterling.

Right, nitrates of 80ppm are harmless to fish; but bad for inverts. In Bob Fenner's book (The Conscience Marine Aquarist); he mentions that nitrate levels in wholesalers, holding facilitys, LFS, etc., are often in the hundreds, even thousands of ppm---with no apparent ill effects on fish. I have...

I think the OP has the acclimation procedure from LA. This is a perfectly acceptable method. But; I really prefer the drip acclimation suggested by SWF.com. It may not be any better, but I've been using it for years....so why change? I've always used a little Ammo-Lock to de-toxify the ammonia...

Doesn't the filter come with instructions, or was it used? The bio-wheels are what the water spins through just before it returns to the tank. If you're still lost, check with Emperor tech-support. I'm not picking on you; but SW fishkeeping requires real attention to details. I think reading a...

Originally Posted by Blenny Good Choice. But i would not recommend putting in the Bio Wheels that came with it, Eventually it will just be a nitrate factory. Of course, use the bio-wheels. Anything that cultures aerobic bacteria to eliminate ammonia is a nitrate factory---even LR. Bio-wheels...

Glad to hear it! For future use of your Qt-HT; I'd suggest a HOB filter (I really like Aqua-Clear for QTs). Keep an extra filter sponge in your DT system. When you need the QT, put the sponge in the HOB filter and the QT will be instantly cycled. Toss the sponge when done, they're cheap.

Use it. Within reason, its almost impossible to have too much filter flow.

IMO, a 70 is too small for an adult grouper and well-fed groupers grow very fast. Cramped quarters=stress=aggression.

37. My real favorite--Joe off his meds. Joe on his meds ain't bad, either.

36. Its the only thing "geeky" that I'm good at.

When I started using Firefox; it was because a computer geek column explained how much junk is aimed at windows--so IE would pick it up, but Firefox wouldn't. Now, it seems, that Firefox is being targeted a bit more. That really isn't a big deal for me though. My old computer lost IE somehow, so...

Just avoid public toilets and you'll never need this stuff. (That line didn't work in my Frat house years ago either; but I did have my own toilet for a month or so. ) BTW, I used Firefox for several years, switched to Google Chrome and love it!

I hope this works. Most ich-killers (copper included) kill only them in free-swimming stage. After they feed, they disappear for a while and then re-emerge, in much greater numbers. That's why you need to treat at least 30 days. Here's a great post, by Beth, that really explains this awful...

Originally Posted by juniors04 Hey hows your Tusk doing? Mine is doing great! Ive had him for 16 months now but hasnt grown very much. Mine are doing great, one is even finger-fed; very tame for a tusk. You're right, they are slow-growers.

Originally Posted by Shrimpy Brains Welcome to SWF! I know this wasn't your question, but please do some research. If you buy and setup your tank today, it will take several weeks to couple of months before you should add any fish! Please, read the stickies in the new hobbyist section and...
