Joe - to answer your question directly, they consider Global Warming exactly what it is: A theory, hypothesis, and an idea. They accept grants that are approved by our taxpayers and government to "research" the theory. There is nothing unethical or immoral about it, its just modern science.

Saka Bra said it correctly, Im absolutely amazed that your angels havent gotten into a bite and chew contest. I had a Queen and an Emperor in a 200g ...after a few months I had to split em up. No idea how you are making it work, but good job.

I personally disagree with *most of* the "global warming" theories, as do my senior professors. But they "acknowledge that the climate is adjusting, and that ocean and polar temperature changes have fluctuated a tenth of a degree and will continue to rise" Why? So they get grants (aka money) to...

I feed mine a big meal once a week, or 2 smaller meals twice a week or so. Sometimes he just flat out wont take it, Ive seen him go 10days or so with only a krill or two, then the day I feel like going into a panic and re-checking water parameters he will eat all the silversides I point at...

Agreed with Socal - keep it clean and itll keep your tank clean in return. I absolutely love my canister, clean mine out and change my pads once every 6weeks or so...but im probably pushing it. Even after I added the sump I still run canister.

+1 to live rock - think of it as a filter that doesnt need to be plugged in. And theres no threat on keeping it "alive" as you mentioned -as long as your tank has salt water and light I wouldnt worry about the rock. Its called "Live rock" because of the bacteria and itty bitty organisms that...

Yeah, just as I suspected. My old test was out of date or contaminated. Purchased a legit chemical test today, and came up with bad news. Ammonia: 0ppm Nitrite: 0.20ppm Nitrate: 150ppm PH: 8.1 After I inspected around the tank to check fittings/filters etc, I found that my canister filter was...

Ty for the compliments on the lion- I love him. And to answer a lot of the confusion: YES, sadly, I found 4 dead silversides under a piece of rock that I missed post-feeding time, and apparently the clean up crew missed also. Removed them, and doing another 20g water change today. Yes, my test...

Yes LOL I did mean Nitrate. I thought trate and typed Nitrite ...a few times. Checked again this am, TRITES are a little high, but TRATES are still way up there ...the water change had a signifigant impact though, so I'll continue water changes to get it under control. How often can I change...

When it rains, it pours. ...that kitten better be damn cute bro. Yeah, SPCA was hosting the adoption in front of the PetSmart I purchased it at- and they only do those kinda things on weekends/holidays. You could try the paper...it is sunday.

Got my gf a kitten this summer as a "cheer u up" gift, got it from PetSmart at one of those "save these cute n cuddly things from death row" kinda things. Got a 2mo old kitten, shots, paperwork, etc for 70bux or so. Doesnt get much easier than that. LOL Just noticed you are from New Orleans...

Car/Jewelry is buying your way out, and if she had a thing for the cat itll probably blow up in your face. Save the big purchases for the big celebrations. I dislike cats also, but the kitten is the gold medal here.

+1 to new foxface asap. 1 pet is hard enough to lose. My gf "has" 2 fish in my display tank, though I have never seen her change my water, test the water, feed the fish..you get the idea. I doubt she is attached to a newly acquired fish whatsoever- replace and separate the eel for time being...

Beautiful and Rare! Excellent find!

2 dead pets on the same business trip? Would NOT want to be in your shoes atm. Good luck =( of course, now you can blame the missing fish ON the cat...just an idea. Mboswell's idea is a sure fire bullseye for the "best of a bad situation" target. +1 to kitten idea.

Thanks! and will definetly do. Cant even think about new additions until I figure out the source of my nitrite spike though...Ill have to keep an eagle eye on water levels for next few weeks.

I've had similar situations in the past, so I'll tell you my alternative outcomes for this situation. 1: Fish is alive, hiding, and will surprise you in a day or two when it is comfy and wanting some food. I had a foxface and a trigger that I didnt visibly see for 2-3 days after they were first...

LoL Tank has had the SFE and this lion in it for over a year now...im pretty sure the cycle is complete Yah, no earthly idea why the trites skyrocketed...its been a good long while since my last water change, and my canister filter needed a good cleaning, but otherwise im confused.

After not being able to sleep for a few hours I read the QT archives on the site here and found answers to almost all my questions!

Hey guys! I have a 29g? Maybe a 40g?(..idk Ill measure tomorrow) Anyway, its in the garage just taking up space, and Im considering making it my new QT. While I know we never skimp on filtration, I am being told that bare bones filters are acceptable for a QT-only tank. Maybe just a solid HOB...
