    Glass eating puffer?

    Very interesting thread......so now you have me thinking some...I have a 7" porky puffer in my tank and wondering if I should be concerned if he wants to take a bite out of my powerhead cord? I figure it would be instant death for the little guy.

    Fish hostility vs Tank size

    Hey, I was wondering if the larger the tank, the less hostile fish tend to become. I currently have a 180 predator tank and everyone in there is extremely harmonious....couple yellow tangs, some triggers and some puffers. So my question is...I am getting a 400g tank and should have it setup next...

    Ich surviving question

    Hey, just wondering something about ich....I know the basic life cycle. My question is I acquired about 50lbs of live rock with a bunch of softies from a friend who was getting out of the hobby, and the reason she was getting out was she had a massive ich outbreak and it wiped her 3 fish out. So...

    Calling on the greatest minds!!!

    Sorry to hear about your Lion. I have a 3" Volitan Lion right now, but he likes to perch in corners upside down all of the time. Also when I feed him with a feeding stick with some Krill or Silversides...he dashes up to the top and hovers upside down a lot. After he eats, he swims to the bottom...

    Keeping two Niger Triggers or Puffers?

    Originally Posted by srfisher17 I think the puffers will be ok and I would expect the larger puffer to find the little lions fins very interesting. Gotcha...seems like the general consensus.

    Keeping two Niger Triggers or Puffers?

    Originally Posted by srfisher17 I think the puffers & nigers will probably be ok; but one of those fish will kill your lion sooner or later.

    Heating for a 180

    I have my 180g in my basement that stays around 65 degrees and originally was going to run two 300 watt heaters once I had the time to purchase them. I had put two 150w Visitherms in there since day one since I already had them and the water temp has been a steady 78 degrees. Now the heaters...

    Got 50lbs of LR for $6.74!!!!!!!!

    Wow, I am really surprised at some people's reaction to stealing. One thing that no one takes into account when it comes to business is operating expenses and what it truly cost to run a business. If they mark up their products whatever percentage that is their choice and they rightfully should...

    Got 50lbs of LR for $6.74!!!!!!!!

    Yea, I am going to have say it is knowingly stealing from a business. You intentionally purchased 50lbs of live rock at a set price and you knew the price was going to be $300+, but only paid $6.74. Unfortunately I do not believe in karma, but have a conscience and do not steal. Best of luck...
