Yes, it will settle. You could borrow/rent a water polishing filter from your LFS. It is a filter that uses diatomaceous earth to filter out the smallest microns of particulates in the water. Marineland makes a HOT magnum hang-on filter that you can use for this purpose as well. If you do...

About 10% once a week. I've only got a small Tap Water purifier so it takes forever otherwise.

Well, that may just work. My wife and i are planning on buying a house within the next two years and one of the things we want is a very large tank built into a wall. So if I get a small one...he should be able to live "comfortably in my 65 until then. Thanks for your help. And I do know what...

Yeah I did that. I work with computers, and am online, all day long. I did find some information...I was just wondering if anyone had some info links they knew of already to save me some time. Thanks.

Also... I realize that a Red Volitans can get quite large...but I also know that they are also not one of the great "swimmers". In fact I have yet to see one that does anything more than "hang-out" in one spot most of the time. This is one reason I am wondering if my 65 gallon would be of...

Well Lionfish...I haven't bought him...yet. :) My stupid mistake was just falling in love with this particular one...thus the questions. I figured if anyone would know it would be you...so I was waiting on a response before I went and did anything REALLY stupid like buy it on impulse. I do know...

Does anyone know of a place online that has alot of information about lionfish? I've found alot of places that have some very basic info, but nothing more.

What size tank do you have those all in? I would be concerned with having the coral beauty, neon goby and the mandarine fish in there with him. Not that it will be a problem...but it is a potential problem that I'm trying to avoid. Just curious. [ May 01, 2001: Message edited by: Sundog ]

Put this in the Fish Only area but thought it might get more response here... OK...now I've gone and done something really stupid. :) I was at my LFS and I saw a very beautiful lionfish...it was a Red Volitans...about 4 inches long and in incredibly beautiful shape. Perfect fins and coloration...

Results may vary. :D Hard to say, Would depend on the water quality, additives...overall condition of the tank and how "full" your LR already is.

I have a Red-Sea Berlin Air-Lift 90 on my 65 gallon. Very easy to use, no moving parts...uses an airstone...works great and it's cheap. They also make an Air-lift 60. Mine has been running and working great since I installed it. Proven track record of reliability.

The main benefit of a plenum (and I'm not stating this to start another debate about DSB's vs. Plenums) is that a plenum system requires less sand and the grid that seperates the lower layer from the rest (if correctly installed) keeps the lower layer from being disturbed. A deep sand bed will...

Hopefully he will...I have learned my lesson the hard way and all I can say to your boyfriend is... Life is too short. Live it to it's fullest and appreciate the people who you love and who love you, like there is no tomorrow... Because there may not be a tomorrow for you, or someone you love.

No, they don't need it absolutely dark. I have and will continue to get up and turn on the TV or stereo after the lights are out. My kids do the same thing and it has never had any effect at all on them. And by the way...He should lighten up a little, you are right the people should be more...

Those [hr] are sometimes referred to, by fisherman who catch larger ones in their nets, "thumb-splitters". They are considered by some to be the fastest and most powerful creature, for it's size, on earth. The one I had, had a few favorite hide-outs and would barely poke it's head out at...

If your heater is making the temps go higher than what you have it set at, it's possible that the thermostat in it is taking an incorrect reading. Unplug it for half an hour...then plug it back in. This will give the thermostat the opportunity to take a correct reading of the water and it will...

I have a lawnmower blenny in my tank and he is now my favorite fish...my kids thinks he looks and acts like a little dog. Not only does he clean the algae off the LR, he is a great LS cleaner too! He comes down off the LR and starts taking huge chomps off the algae on the sand and spits out the...

Hey Hermit...how was your "vacation" to Florida?
