I have a odonus niger and he has started taking exception to my tank
maintenance routine. He bumrushed the sponge-brillo thingy on the end of the
scraper. I don't know if or how hard he bit, but I read that they have sharp
red teeth. I also read that the niger trigger is one of the more peacable
triggers. What's with this fish suddenly being a tough guy? Mike.

your prices are almost as high as the fish store. Mike.

This method is not practical, it sounds good in theory. The biggest pitfall
with this method is that you have to first catch the fish from the tank, and
catching them is not easy unless you have a bare bottom tank, no coral, no
landscaping.

My dwarf lionfish died sometime in the last day or so. I found him missing
today, then found him dead on the floor behind the tank. he either jumped
out or got pulled out by a cat. Yesterday, I think it was, I saw my cat,
which is over fifteen years old, sitting atop my fish tank, looking down
into the water at an open corner near the back of the tank. I chased the cat
off the tank, and didn't think to count my fishes. Now I am thinking I might
have missed a chance to save the fish's life. I cannot believe that a fish
dying could bother me this much. I would rather have lost the cat than the
fish. Mike

A hospital tank is what is needed when treating a fish who is sick with
any illness. You don't want to infect the other fishes in the tank. Ick
is caused by stress to the fish. A hospital tank is also useful when
buying a new fish and getting him acclimated before he goes in the main
tank, also to make sure he's not sick and bringing a disease into your tank
A fresh water dip will cure the fish of the ick right away. A cleaner
shrimp will also cure the fish,but may take a bit longer. A U.V.
sterilizer? from everything I've read, is not recommenced in reef
environment. It will kill ALL bacteria even the the ones you want in
the tank.
Sometimes doing a little research on you own, will answer the very
question you seek to answer.

Along with your buddy Wayne and KurtG and Inabon, when y'all thought
you "owned" the reef group and only suceeded in fucking up that gorup
totally now your in this gorup looking to do the same. You need to get
gone. Oh and by the way after this post,. my new nym is George
Patterson.........and just to bring more interest inthat name will
probbaly post to all the kook and faggot groups I can find. ALl i nthe
name of George Patterson...........the lunatic who thinks he owns
USENET as a co owner with Wayne Sallee.Bite be Georgei Boi.time to say
bye bye Georgie Boi. Where ever you go the groups all seem to wind up
in turmoil..........you old clueless twit!

You hunt balls in the men's room, when you aren't busy being an internet
pedophile.

next week we are getting a new(from a friend) 6 foot long tank. I want to
set it up for saltwater and move my fishesd into it. I would like to hear
any recommendations as to substrate material, filtration, etcetera.
is it okay to just have no gravel or sand or coral on the floor of the
aquarium, or would that be a bad idea? The tank is intended to be fish only,
with about five or six fish in it. Could I just put a very small amount of
crushed coral, or sand, and then jjust add a bunch of live rock?

Any idead, suggestions instructions will be appreciated.
you can mail me at mikdan at comcast dot net and add the numeral
seven between the mikdan and the ampersand. Thanks. Mike.

Questions for a 10g

1) Can I use a UV sterilizer?

2) Is their a specific group or web site for nano reefs?

3) Any good books for a nano? (I read most books for a 100g tank)

Thanks, in advance.
