Re: Restocking my aquarium tank

That's a massive tank, I'm curious to see how it looks - are there any pictures available?

I've heard that triggers and lionfish don't usually get along, the triggers might see the lionfish as a threat and attack them. However, considering the size of your tank, it's possible that they could ...

Re: setting up my 3-foot marine tank

I think tetraTim was gettin at that you've added too many fish at once, mate, give the tank a chance to adjust to the extra bio load, you know, add 'em gradually, couple of weeks between each addition is probably best.

Re: are you aware of this?

I'm in agreement there, wouldn't get it myself, far too pricey. Imagine the frustration if it didn't make it, would be absolutely fuming

Re: sky's anytime tv advert

Not long now brixo, Thursday's the day. Still, no accounting for taste in music, I'm with Seffie on that one. I was only 13, give me a break.

Re: sky's anytime tv advert

Those were the days, can't beat a bit of the Bay city Rollers. We do tend to do a lot of laughing when we're on our travels. I mean, it's just the way we are. We had great fun, didn't buy anything, but I saw 2 gorgeous antennata lionfish - if only my tank were ready.

Re: is my stock level excessive


I've got a 103 gal tank, 5x2x1.7ft, internal filter, big external uv sterilizer and a v2 400 skimmer. I'm running it with two dwarf lion fish, a sailfin tang, a maroon clown, a pink cheeked watchman goby, a neon worm goby and a blue damsel. Also got 28kg of live rock, coflake and starfish and a ...

Re: is my stock level excessive

I'm not entirely sure about the sizes of all your fish, but what does concern me is that as your lionfish grow, they'll likely start eyeing up their tankmates as potential meals. Then, overstocking won't be a problem anymore. I know your lionfish are small now, but don't underestimate them - they ...

Re: can feeder shrimp thrive in my marine tank

Don't think they'd thrive in a full marine tank, got a hunch they'd do better in brackish conditions.

Re: can feeder shrimp thrive in my marine tank

They're probably glass or ghost shrimp. If so, your lionfish might find them a tasty snack.

Re: Help with lps rtn (rapid tissue necrosis)

It's possible the initial SPS die-off released some kind of chemical that's now affecting your LPS corals, leading to their decline. I'm wondering, are you running GAC in your tank? If not, it might be a good idea to start, see if it helps stop the decline. Also, I'm a bit skeptical about that 0.000 ...
