Does anyone know of any person in Hamilton that can build me a cheapish cabinet for my new tank? thanks.

What do those look like and how much do they cost?

Well I want to end up keeping soft corals and fish as well as hard coral so I thought I'd do it once and get all the proper stuff now on yeah the T5 has 4 tubes.

So which one is better Halides or a T5 3ft? or is there any difference? I'm new to the marine hobby so am just finding out before I make a decision on which one to get it/they will be for a 5ft 580ltr tank thanks.

hahaha I wouldn't of done that (or would I?) :lol: I'll just get come coral and use seawater then its hurry up and wait for me.

yeah I have heard about the whole urine thing but I thought it was a joke but if you did do it how much do you add?

Really? how does that help? with shell or without? and how long do I leave it in for?

hahah yeap ok then what if I use seawater will that help speed it up? I'm still going to wait 4 weeks before anything goes in it I just want to make sure it is well established

Not even using the Stress Zyme to help with starting up a marine?

Hey everyone just wondering if you can use JBL Stress Coat and Stress Zyme in a marine aquarium.

Sorry reef is the deltech person hehehehe my bad :lol:

Hey jetskisteve, How much would it cost for a deltech skimmer for my 215 litre?

Yeah I was thinking of either using the filter as well as my fluval 304 or getting a sump and still using my fluval 304 what do you guys think? either way I'm going to have to make mods to the standard tank filter.

Yeah I'm on that list as well but I'll have to get taken off cause I've decided to go marine now :oops:

Don't forget buying all the new toys and setting it up :lol: I think I will go for a sump but I have no idea how many litres I need and where to buy one or get it made? also is there a standard layout for sumps? cheers.

hahahahaha yeah Nice looking fish

Wasp - I have an AR980 so I don't think I can hang anything on the back because it has a build in filter on the top as well as 3 lights in a hood unit so I think I will need a sump to put the protein skimmer in am I right? also I think I will get a Deltech I have heard so much about them.

Sorry I'm new and don't know much so am just finding out but would everything in the tank eat the grated mussels?

Well I want to keep soft corals and some fish, not many fish only about say 4 or 5 the tank that I have now is an AR980 215 litre. so with the protein skimmer what would you recommend for a 215 litre? I haven't got a sump or anything.

KP- That'd be good maybe I can steal opppps I mean borrow some of your ideas IRA - Right now I have a AR980 which you might know has a build in filter and 3 lights also I have a heater of course plus a Fluval 304 that I run would I need anything else?

Hey guys, I'm thinking of changing my freshwater setup into a marine one and just had a few questions like is it more expensive for power per month? and also is there anyone in Hamilton that would be able to help me? thanks.

yeah I had a problem with my dwarf gouramis fighting so I just got the one that was being the aggressive one and done what I said before just for the night and took him back to the pet shop

well if it was only for the night i think that would be fine as long as you put some plant in the net as well so the fish can take cover from the light and also feed it

or you could catch it in your net (if you have one) and leave it floating in the tank

Hey they copied my tank :lol:
