what about running a closed sump? have an overflow pipe running into the sump and the return pump running out and the rest is completely sealed. You could get a lid cut to fit exactly then use rubber edge to make it air tight, you could then even run the CO2 into the sump and it would sit ontop of the water in the sump. Just a thought, so it would basicly end up like a massive external filter.

we have a place about 25mins from tutukaka. Yet to head out to the poor knights though, my Mum and sister have both been (I think). One of the people we know owns a dive boat so they got to go out for the cost of petrol Not a diver yet though.

sounds about right, carbon will sort it out usually. I"ll have a look on sunday, but sounds like tanilins to me, especially since the wood is new. -
The way a transformer works is it steps down the voltage by a ratio in this case it's about 2.2, this is the turns ratio. The power in equals the power out therefore the current increase by the same amount. so if you were runnin 5A through your mains then through the pump it would be almost 11A. Hope this helps. Power in = power out approx. (some is lost to heat though) depends how effective your trasnformer is.

Free speach is all ic an say. Some agree some disagree with his actions, as you said pies, how small is too small is really underfined, so mostly it is personal opinion, and i think that is mostly what has been expessed. Maybe at some points getting a little personal though For my two cents, not that i know a hell of alot about keeping marine, we should be suggesting methods for him to improve the circumstances. (Not that i personally know any.)

What do people think of these that are for sale? http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/show_member_listings.asp?member=1001211 Haven't had much experience with metal halides so thought I would ask what other people thought.
