Lively Case Discussion #647 6/25 - 6/26/2007

[blah]

Several years ago I did some research on salt water aquariums, bought a tank, was looking at filtration systems, built a cabinet for the tank and then something in me said WTH!  Sold the tank at a loss and got as far away from that idea as I could!!!!!! lol

this is EXACTLY what I see happening in my near future      

[BTgirl]

Dang screwed up the quote.

Blah are you starting  a tank?

i might be, reluctantly.  We will see after she starts seeing all what is involved.

the old lady has high blood pressure/alot of stress and is thinks looking at the fishes will help.  

Hell if it keeps her busy and helps with the stress, i'll put one in every room in the house  

Blah - the tanks do help with stress. I have a friend who is a doctor, and she has a huge saltwater tank in her waiting room because it calms her patients.

LOL I think that probably happens to a bunch of people. Then there are those that fall through the cracks like me. It all started when my daughter bought a puffer fish and a 3 gallon aquarium.  I really loved that puffer fish.The guy at the fish store said , "Ya know puffers are really brackish water fish".
I said, "Brackish water?" .....and i was on my way............

I don't know who this is but this sounds like yet another horror story!  Pro Wrestler Chris Benoit and wife and child found dead in their home.  Don't think cause given as yet.  Is on AJC news.

Klaas has my email and I'll help you out if I can.

[blah]

Thanks BT, Rob, everyone.

We will see how she feels about it after she starts reading up on it

I'm going waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay  off topic here but I know theres a lot folks in here that have a wealth of knowledge with animals and pets and such.

I need a good resource to obtain as much information as I can about salt water fish, tanks, filters, pumps, stands, rocks, correls, whatever, etc

The whole kit and kaboodle.

Any one know much about this stuff?

I have a saltwater tank.

can you recommend any good books or websites for reference?

Blah

What llittle I know (based upon one son's attempts at Salt Water fish & TG he was living on his own)  It stake a lot of work & not cheap...
But like I said.. that was him telling me.. His story  

Good Luck

Oh Hi. Monkeys...

A lot of these wrestlers are on drugs.  Not that it's a big surprise.  Just like how the wrestler the British Bulldog died.

EDITED:  I didn't realize he family I thought it was just him.

Right, but that wouldn't answer his family being found dead too.

I know it takes $$$$$! And I know it is very tricky to raise salt-water fish because there are so many variables in the water temp, salinity, pH, etc. that can easily kill a VERY expensive specimen. Get LOTS of info before you take that plunge...  (I would LOVE to have one myself but I am scared of them)

Right Klaas. I read it fast and didn't realize it was his whole family.

Blah
Mr Dr. office use to have a small tank...
had some live fish in it  & some fakes from "Finding Nemo"

About 2 months ago ... I noticed that it had been replaced with a small TV playing DVDS..  of different fish tanks   About 30min per tank.
Even had the sound of filter bubbling away & one trying to jump out of the tank  


Just a thought

Back to work

See Ya Gang...

I used to love the house my inlaws lived in. It sat on a hill that looked out over the Irish Sea. My late father-in-law had a glassed-in balcony built off the living room so that he could watch sunsets over the sea. Just inside the living room, near the balcony, was a gigantic salt water fish tank. A person could either watch the sea or watch the fish. It was sooooooo relaxing.

Howdy Tiger. Good wedding?

Fresh water tanks are much easier to maintain... just a thought... I know they don't have quite the visual impact of a reef tank but it's all SOOO much easier. Just keeping a reef tank clean and preventing corrosion is a monumental task.
