hot off the press fluval FX6 for you all you FX5 fans http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/c ... p?sid=5673

good on you for willing to spend the money! like most hardcore marine people will know that this is not a cheap hobby from setting up, maintaining, live stock...etc Drilling and sumping is highly recommended but the only thing is that the juwel cabinet isnt the biggest so your sump design will be limited. Brands that i would recommend would be deltec, tunze, ecotech vortech take it slow, do alot of research and have fun good luck

giant gourami for the win
-
having a reef tank is a addiction which costs heaps to stock and maintain, having just marine fish is easy and not that costly i say go for it if you have the spare cash

this was a spare tank i had and thought i can breed some guppies for my arowana to play with hehehe i dont give his tank much of my time, just feed every couple of days and water change every 2weeks...not sure what the survival rate is but the number seems to be growing
-
i got my bottle many years ago from a place in hornby cant remember the name anymore yeah only guppies and some swordtails
-
there setup looks good, the big school of cardinals looks awesome i'm running a 5kg bottle of co2 which lasts about a year for me only took a month to do a full carpet....flourish is great stuff but this tank seems pretty stable without it and i save myself $125 for a bottle!
-
tank has been setup for about 6 weeks now, dosed flourish excel for the fist 2 weeks until i ran out, now i dont dose with anything i run a Pressurized co2 about 2-3 bubbles a second, lights are 2 factory juwel tubes plus 2 juwel colour tubes....i just used whatever i had at home i filled up the tank again

-

-
this is my vision 450 guppy tank running 4x54watt T5 sorry for the bad pic....this was taken after the last monday earthquake.....lost a crap load of water!
-
i used to feed my silvers mussels....alot cheaper than prawns
-
i'm the same...i can do it but it since i dont have much experience it always turns out pretty crap good thing i found someone that knows what he is doing....hehehe i was given the same advise when i was on the search....most of them said that smaller gauge steel is no good for chch due to the earthquakes and that steels doesnt flex which will crack the welds and that i'm much better off with a wooden stand
-
wow steel isnt cheap
-
can anyone recommend someone in chch to make a steel stand?

something like his for me -
for me Garlic Guard doesnt work i got it for my old VIP, soaked his prawns in it but still he wouldnt eat them, so why waste good prawns? i tried to feed them to my silvers which are on prawns already and they wont go near the stuff....also tired on my current vip and he wont touch the stuff too you can try entice and report back :thup:
