    iwan is back

    Love the tank, but some of those light blues and greens look a bit un-natural for my liking... must be the zeovit :roll: He has a nice selection of fish though
  2. I hope you were wearing protective glasses whist smashing rocks with hammers Caryl :roll:
  3. commercial trade and exchange on this website
  4. unless your fighter is an aggressive one which attacks other fish
  5. yeah change them for 6500k
  6. I had a 350L vivarium for whistling tree frogs at one stage... Dunno if there are any pics of it on this site?
  7. very nice Dogmatix, any frags going of the sps in the bottom pic (hairy acro i think it is?)
  8. its the periodic table- Hydrogen Helium Lithium Berrilium Boron Carbon Nitrogen Oxygen Flouride Neon
  9. they will get used to it after a while and will be in the same place at roughly the same time each day ready to clean your fish. give them time
  10. but you don't have a fuge either do you Reef? Yellow water is more often present in tanks with fuges...

    DIY Wave maker

    would be quite tricky to make a wavemaker, I do know people who have done it but you need a decent powerhead which can handle being turned on and off frequently. Someting alot easier would be to make a carlson surge device (google it.)
  14. which means less CO2?
  15. I always thought it was a fat ant not a fly.... :lol:
  16. haha 2 bad 4 all of you. I finished exams last friday! :lol:
  17. it would be cheaper to do it DIY... Warren did a similar thing I think... DIY way cheaper as you only need one pane of glass
  18. if it was me I would go native marine! It would not be much more difficult than a freshwater tank and the additional costs would be negligble in terms of the costs you would be talking to fully plant out a tank this size. The only extras would be a nice big DIY Skimmer and feeder pumps, a big watter barrell and trailer to pump NSW and a chiller. If you kept it in a well situated place with plenty of insulation it would probably cost less annually than heating a tropical tank... and finally, all the rocks, kina, fish, starfish, anemones, crabs etc are all FREE!!! althouh 2000 Cardinals would look nice too!
  19. yo'll pay through your nose for one dogmatix. Aquamedic will be cheapest option...I got a IKS Aquastar which is good
  20. I vote neither... Get some celestial pearl danios!!!!
  21. use an overflow box unless you get the tank drilled. the water will drain at the same rate as the water enters the tank if you use an overflow at the top of the tank if that makes sense. And that pump would be ok if you used a spraybar or something to disperse the flow
