hands down, aust. harlequin tusk Originally posted by Fishgirl: Just for fun, I'd like to get a little poll going about everybody's two fav fish families ME: Tangs and Triggerfish

brad, just a thought, set up a temp (i.e. 10 gal), for him, make sure YOU LET THE NEW SALTWATER SIT FOR3 HRS before ADDED!! new salt is caustic, that maybe the cause.

seamore concurs

w/d for sure, but becareful, dont create a trate factory, use siporax beads as a meadia!!!

dave, glad u asked, i am preparing to lose over $600 of fish to *********ing ick, trates way too high. Found a solution too late, as usaual, i already have written the loss of my babies off. Please contact me via email, i can and will help u. All u need to do is go to a local hardware store...

Dont forget a wet dry is a severew trate farm ( as i, anf $600 worth of fish know now), there are ways around it. Please dont hesitate to drop me a line, im not selling anything, just want to save marine life!!!!!!!

Veskas, would like to share my experience. Ever had a trate prob? I do. Wet/dry, and all that, well, as it turns out without significant liverock, and I mean alot, u will. there is a way aroung it. ever seen a hammer coral. yes, they are hard to keep, well, i saw one in a tank that was over 8...

like to help, but, never had that problem. BEWARE, a canister filter will not push a salt water setup, u are lacking biological. good luck

Wayne, I agree with Beth, but you are loosing fish for another reason. Are u using live rock? what are your trites,ammonia, trates? SG? temp? please contact me, i will try to help u, and dont listen 100% to what ANYONE, even i, have to say. If you are with it in a year, u will know what i mean...

Fish only?? u can go as low as 1.017, trust me im doing it, that is the salinity of a fish, so it reduces stress of trying to accomodate higher levels. reef? Thats another matter.

reef ranger is 100% correct Originally posted by Reef Ranger: that would be a ritteri anemone, not a rippri anemone. These are probably the most difficult anemone to maintain. Almost all clowns will jump into these guys, but their chances of survival are slim. They need tons of light to live...

that lighting is fine for just rock, but is it a reef? If it is, I highly recommend skipping VHO and buying instead compacts. They put off the spectrum, enough light (vho's dont do foor aropoa), and dont raise tank temp.!!

Dont even try, the cost of buying the glass retail will be more than trying to build it. Besides, ever try to seal a leaking tank?? It CANNOT be done. Buy one ready togo

I have to agrre, i had a 31/2 ft nurse shark in 7 ft 160, it is torture on them and not fair, they are evolutionary perfect preditors, and are not meant for the confines of a tank. Even sea world tried keeping a great white, spent millions, and guess what? It died. These are animals that dont...
