Lionfish eating

I guess this is a common question, any tips or tricks out there?
He has not eaten in a week, i put a little string of calamari(cut to look like a mini eel) onto a sosatie stick and jiggle it about but no luck. Help!!

ATI powercone 200

Any thoughts on this skimmer? apparently I'm the very first owner of one in SA, very impressive grid impeller, will be installing it soon, but skims tap water like a beast.

Stripping a tank down

Posted: June 22nd, 2011, 11:07pm CDT by deadmeat2016

Hey everyone
Really need some advice, recently received a free 2.0m tank with an overflow, unfortunately cleaning it, i found a crack in the base glass at the non-overflow end :(:(, I know I need to strip it and rebuild, right? how do I 'recycle' this glass? without damaging it?

Hard mushroom

Posted: June 3rd, 2011, 10:38pm CDT by deadmeat2016

Hi, I recently purchased a hard shroom and its a lovely coral, opens up and thrives but recently I noticed what I thought was a tube nennie in my sump on the sand about 6mm in diameter with tentacles.....

after nursing it for a while, i noticed ,while moving it, its more mushroom like with no 'neck'. after moving it from my sump today, i felt that it indeed had a solid base and on closer inspection, it looks exactly like a bloody hard shroom!

Could the coral have spawned somehow? or is it just coincidence?

just some thought, thanx! :thumbup:

Cleaner wrasse

Posted: November 25th, 2010, 2:13pm CST by deadmeat2016

I bought a blue streak cleaner a few days ago, hes small, about 5 cm. I heard they were extremely difficult to wean onto frozen foods and usually die soon after addition to the tank. This little wrasse is eating like a pig from day 1, ive seen him actually eat a whole krill! Am I lucky or should i expect his demise?
