I have been using distilled water from walmart. .58$per gallon. I have been doing 5% week water changes. not to bad a price considering the consequenses of using tap water. Here in Texas the water is horrible for a tank. The purer the water the better.

When I first got my lion fish he stung me in my arm during clean-up. It hurt like -#$%. I called poison control because the pain and redness was moving down my arm. When they lady at poison control got done laughing. She told me to move the sting area in warm water for a while and into cold...

I have a vol. lion and a niger trigger along with a maroon clown. They all get along as long as they are too bigg to fit in the lions mouth.

Thanks for this info. I am having this problem too. My nitrates are 0. I started following the directions today. My slime was so bad my clown was trying to host in it. I have been leaving my lights on way to long. So that is first step(bulbs are new). I changed 5% of the water today. I went...

I already have good water movment. two pump outputs and three powerheads in my 100 gal. I was thinking of a wave controler. Are they worth the money? Are there real benifits to the tank? Or should I just use powerheads that automatically move side to side?

I was getting alot of noise from my over flow and all I had to do was adjust the level so a steady flow was in the drain on the over flow.

I got two fans both 110v at my local pet store. You can also get them at electronics stores. They plug in like any other 110v item. I have mine set to when I turn my lights out the fans go off too. It is suppose to be bad to runn the fans accross light path so I faced mine blowing out away...

My female is dark maroon with white stripes. She is not excepting the male after 5 days of slowly introducing him. He is running free in the tank now. He has learned how to hide from my net and the other clown so I guess I will let nature take its course.

I have been trying to post pictures but it always says that attatchment is too large. What can I do?

I recently got a small clown to introduce into my tank. I have been using the methods suggested here to get my large female to except it.(hoping for a mating pair). When I got this new fish it was sold as a maroon clown which is what I have already. It looked like one as well. It has been a...

Thanks for the advice. I just tried every possible combination. I guess I got two bad bulbs in a row. Gee, If it weren't for bad luck.......... ect You know what I mean. i will take it back in a day or so. Thanx again. Tom

Well, I was worried my trigger would eat my new clown. I was wrong. Princess (niger trigger) could not have cared less. The lion fish did not care either. The little guy just swam around exploring and everything was cool, Then "coral" the red eyed maroon widow clown fish proceed to tear the...

They are separated. I have not been able to catch the female and I do not want to stress her.. I guess I will feed the lion fish real well and set the new clown free and let nature take its course. I will let you know how he is tonight after work.

I plan on improving lighting as soon as I know my filtration is up to par. thanx

I now have a new maroon clown. I have him or her in a safety net in my tank. The female clown checks it out but does not hang out long. Will this new fish turn out to be male if I keep it somewhat separated like I have it? I need him to be big enough and smart enough to avoid the caverns of...
