Yeah i thought that it would clog, cleaning the tubes with hot water every couple of weeks is fine for me though, shouldnt take long at all. Is there a reason for doing the calc drip 2 days after the alk? Is this so that the system does not get a shock from the increase in both parts or because they should not be dripped at the same time? And you say over a few hours - i was just thinking of leaving it on the drip 24/7. Bugger didnt think of that one.... Im sure that if i had the containers high enough and the dripper was at the bottom of the container there shouldnt be too much variance in drip rate. Jeff

Thanks everyone, I didnt want the rock wall look, and preferred to have a more spacious look, and more room for the fish to swim and the coral to grow into. No, he was from pacificaquaria Thanks, runs on 6 T5's, its an unbranded DIY unit with some good reflectors. Bulbs are 2 x blue 3 x 20,000k (thats what they say on them) 1 x white Jeff

lduncan, a very good argument on the two part system. It seems to be much less complicated than the reactor, which is definately a good thing. If i dosed two part, is it possible to drip these into the sump via gravity, and adjust the drip rate accordingly to testing? thanks guys

Tank - 1220 x 600 x 450 Lighting - T5 only Age - About 2 weeks Right side Left side Baby Naso (yes i hate micro bubbles) Right end Frags My snails are crazy Glad these two are getting along

Ok another topic of interest. The tank now has a few frags and ill be starting to dose with kalkwasser very shortly to try and keep up with demands of kH and Ca and most probably Mg. Currently Tank volume - 340L most likely sps dominant with some other softies. pH - 8.1 kH - 7.5 Ca - 280 Mg - Havent tested. Im still a student so therefore im a lazy ass and am looking for some sort of system which will take the least amount of time possible and be cost effective in the long term. Ive heard that a Calcium Reactor will supply demands of kH, Ca and Mg and keep them consistent? Ive also read that a reactor may not be worth it for a small tank? I dont mind forking out for a Reactor if its going to be worth it, but what else is involved? Oppinions / suggestions? Would like to hear about how peeps are keeping up with their requirements, especially those running reactors. Jeff

Looks like its just been cut, Create a new layer. Select area which you want to darken. Darken and change colour to what you desire. Jeff

Hmm, seems i better bump up my water temp, it sits at 25 degrees celcius. :-?

Is it this one here? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Pe ... 33.htm?p=1 What do you think of it reef?

WOW, mint setup!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks reef

Ok so im off on holiday for 7 days Tank - 29g Fish - 2 percs and a sixline I normally feed once every 2 - 3 days :oops: Will they be ok for 1 week without food, i will probably give them a good feed before i go.

Tom, thanks for the suggestions, i wasnt expecting to use the Sigma as a macro, although it can be. I may pick up a tamron 90mm macro, as its on par with the 100mm canon and its cheaper, theres not much u can do with the 50mm or 60mm Canons, they are just too short. What do you shoot with?

Haha, yeah its all your fault! :lol: Actually, the auto resizing made the pics look :-? , thanks though. Your tank is awsome, shows that you dont need a huge tank to make something look good. 700 x 400 x 350 i think? cant quite remember. Lens - Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4.5

Hmm.. spacious? Looks like it could be a propagation tank aswell.

Good stuff, they are cuties.

LMAO!

You can just buy peat and out it into the water or your filter. But im sure theres no specific betta peat product in nz.

Yeah sort of, weird ay haha. Not many good breeds available though. Jeff oh and thanks for the sites people

Whats your budget? My suggestion would be the canon obviously. Forget the sony.

thanks, anymore?

Hey ben, Close call, can you explain what u did with the airline? Jeff

Quite a mixture youve got in there, loving the bricks :lol:

Might aswell just got 2 300w just a few extra dollars over the 200w's.

Im lazy and i havent changed water for ages :oops:
