i remember wanting one of these types of tanks for my 1st marine mainly because they looked so slick. you could dick @ with it, throw out the lights, hood and filter and make it work...the reality is that you will get far better value and practicality by having a tank and stand made to suit;you will prob want an overflow, sump etc and neednt spend anymore than these tanks usually cost..

seriously...who out there is HRV positive?? thank goodness i went for the DVS... 8)

update..just installed another deltec 1250 so now ive got twins......''cracker style'' thanks to duke . only prob is duke cleaned it too much so its building slime at the mo... cracker do you run yours 1x wet and 1x dry??

apparently reefs durso is silent.

i just wanted to stick up for the blondes 8)

no he looked really good the day we left. i even bought back a present for him but now i'll just give it to my purple tang.... a deltec 1250...now ive got twins!

been away for 3 days and come home to find the fish all quite shy, maybe because they havent seen anyone and got used to the quiet. the forcepiger is especially hard to find....until i blow him out by changing the streams angle :-? hes very dead.

WT? been away...what did i miss?

for all you dummies out there PLC stands for Proper Lectric Cord....thingy...

not that i hold anything against blondes 8)

going away for a few days so i shifted a plug to make it more secure. well i must have tripped the rcd without noticing and so no skimmer and 22.7 c overnight :oops:

ive seen them range from real small ' salt sprinkle' thru to quite large as in almost the size of 2 mm coral balls

probably good advice, the net result of adding zeovit is that im removing hair algae at a good rate. big clumps of it are falling off and ending up in the sump. when i was trying vodka it only seemed to slow the hair down and turn it blonde. early days but the other green algae seems to be dying off. this is the 1st week but its promising.

I heat 220lts per time using a 2600w immersion heater. takes about 1/2 hr maybe little more.

power costs @ $280/ month this time of year. my tank costs $50/month ( streams, 600w heating, 500w halides, skimmer and return)

true, but youve gotta vote one way or the other.

'niloc' on here made it when he made me this he da man

:-? doesnt seem to photograph well, must be my settings

i would use greenx to stop draughts under the cat door. id go a few big water changes, use a good po4 remover, carbon, check my fresh topup po4 and then look to the cause?

if your durso is standard as per his design, shouldnt you already have the 90 on there?

hey i cant see the price ticket on that aiptasia covered rock

ive got a standard durso where the inlet is a 90 degree bend. i just trimmed eggcrate down and sanded it till it was a snug push fit inside

better as in you never loose light as in salty crusty glass

yeah im gonna change my nex..oops :oops: better than glass tho, i must admit im thinking of removing the centre brace.it is useful for stacking stuff on when i frag @ with stuff, which ive been told ive gotta stop.
