    We caught a shark today!

    Hey Everyone, Yeah I agree the tank is in a horrible state primarily precipitated by a manager (can't figure how) that managed to crack my overflow. I should be happy that she admitted to it three days later when I was on vacation in Orlando and by the time I got back hair algae city. With...

    OMG! Look at this Lion I caught!!!!

    Just a little update dropped the lion off for research to the Department of Fisheries this morning. The guy says that they are working in connection with NOAA on that research project I posted earlier. He promised that he would notfy us when they determine whether the lion's off the Atlantic...

    The link I provided blames hurricane Andrew and the accidental release of six pairs of lion fish into Biscayne Bay from the Miami Sea Floor Aquarium

    http://www.oceanservice.noaa.gov/education/stories/lionfish/lion02_invade.html This link was a good read as well and provides a little more detail as to what may be considered lion fish(s) zero in the Atlantic.

    Here is my theory set yourself up as an online purveyor of Lion fish for the ornamental fish trade and have local fisherman bring you all they can depleting the population and making a buck besides kinda like the walleye in America.

    As there are no catch and weight limit restrictions the trade would be open season.

    What is positive out of what he said is that if we could establish a lucrative trade as incentive to fisherman to harvest these non indigenous species out of our waters and export them to the ornamental trade in the US and Europe this would improve the situation

    OMG! Look at this Lion I caught!!!!

    Well, I think that would be a stupid statement for them to make that we can harvest them for trade if we can't ship them away. I'm sure they don't mean or want us to trade amongst ourselves because when Bahamians get tired of them, naturally the majority of them, will just toss them back into...

    Incidentally though Atlantis pumps fresh salt water constantly from the Ocean they have a Chlorine destruction unit that the return back to the ocean returns thorugh ensuring that no fish larvae and or parasites or protozoa is returned back to the environment.

    Besides Atlantis doesn't have any right now and I am sure we could send them a few NOT FOR FREE LMAO

    OMG! Look at this Lion I caught!!!!

    LOL Yeah I agree Krish he says they can issue a licence releasing from the size and catch weight limits. I think the biggest hurdle will be the permissions to get it into the US.

    OMG! Look at this Lion I caught!!!!

    As Krish said spoke to the guy at the Ministry of Fisheries today. They indicated that this is the third sighting in eight months, but the first where the fish is actually available for identification. He said that the ministries position is much the same as the folks along the Florida and...

    OMG! Look at this Lion I caught!!!!

    Heh Guys thanks for all the feedback particularly your article Martin. Krish and I had discussed several ways the larvae might have gotten here. I put in a call to the lead marine biologist this morning, but he hasnt returned my call yet. I was so distressed when Krish called me that I was...

    Live sand as a substrate?

    "Dead sand" IMO will eventually have the same cons as live sand as when you add "live rock" you will add organisms that may find homes in your sand. I think in making your substrate choice you need to be more specific as to the types of corals, fish and inverts you plan to keep. For SPS there...

    Re-Aquascaping with a DSB

    Kimo, While Luke and Mike debate the use of RFUGF you may want to take a look at this thread in the advance forum: http://www.reeffrontiers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13312 Boomer PaulB and quite a few others weigh in on this idea. I think Barry is even setting up an experiment to further...

    Will 9 inches pose a problem?
