Lots more research, findings, agents, and drugs since then. Remember the first anesthesiology residency in this country didn't take place until 1945. In the ensuing 16 years they didn't have much idea about receptor sites, etc. I vaguely remember looking at Pauling's paper (that would have been...

Yeah, I have thought about Versed (midazolam) in food. The foxface does feed agressively, but he also shies away from anything unfamiliar in the aquarium. I have thought about leaving a net in the tank, or continously feeding from the net, but to keep the food from being swirled out of the...

Hey, I'm sorry, I meant no offense. We think, and you're right we don't know absolutely for sure, that general anesthesia whether by Intravenous injected drugs, or by administration of a volatile agent (gas) depresses the reticular activating system in the brain. We do know that is the center...

Thanks for the responses! 1. I give anesthesia for a living (human) so it is not quite the mystery to me as it may be to you. 2. Why do you say the Jawfish is particularly susceptible? Unfortunately quite awhile back I had a precipitous drop in Oxygen in the tank- I lost 17 fish (sump pump...

I'm not familiar with what this is, or how it works, or where to get one, or how to use it. Any further info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!! Dave Harvey Mason, MI

I have a WB in my 300 Gallon tank. I have the advantage of having a son who works in the LFS and was able to observe their 220 g. for a long time, many, many times both before and after they added the WB. Obviously the LFS has access to whatever equipment, and as much of it as they want. The...

Dear Forum Mates, I have done a fair amount of research on the anesthetization of fish. I give anesthesia (human) for a living so I understand the chemistry and pharmacology of the agents available. I need to get a Magnificent Foxface Rabbitfish out of my 300 g. saltwater aquarium. I, and my...

re: the message I just posted: in the 4th paragraph, 3rd. line I wrote" He does seem stressed..." I meant to write: " He does NOT seem stressed." Thanks, Dave Harvey

I have a 300G. reef tank. (96in.X30in.X24in.). I have a rather open aquascape: 1/3rd of the tank is a rounded slope; narrow at the top to almost the top of the tank, widening in a rounded fashion as it meets the substrate. In the middle, a islandic bommie to maybe 1/2 the heighth of the tank...

I am not an expert yet, but I know that there are a multitude of companies producing all kinds of different LED strands, bulbs, floods, etc. Anybody else out there know anything about LED lighting used in a reef tank application?

Anyone out there have any experience/knowledge about using LED lighting for reef lighting? Thanks, Dave Harvey

Will do, Thanks DH

I am interested in obtaining at least one Nudibranch of the type that specifically eats Aiptasia I believe this is the Verucchis Bergia. I live near Lansing, MI. Although our LFS is very good and the people are quite knowledgeable; I have not really gotten much feedback from them about this...
