have you read the basic starters guide? its as a sticky at the top of the marine page- its very good... Small tanks are harder to maintain. I would recommend a 150-200L tank for a beginner, not to big to require lots of expensive equipment and stock to fill and not to small that keeping water parameters stable. Marine tanks (tropical) are pretty easy to maintain as long as you are willing to spend the $ to get some decent equipment and are prepareed to read lots and spend a bit of time each week testing water parameters, dosing stuff etc... Check out othr tanks on here and elsewhere to get you started, and ask lots of questions...

No the common plec is the one beginners often buy without realising they grow massive... They are like the sailfin plec but withouth the sailfin :lol:

yes but its the SPS that make it so great- look at the first 5 pics and what do you see :lol:

I was more talking to Wilson, Reef :lol:

should be fine

i'm sure if you had a tank like this you wouldn't find it boring! http://www.thereefer.it

are you seriously using that skimmer on that tank or are we waiting on an upgrade 8) .

:lol:

TDS meters for fish tanks have been round for ages, they are used to check the effectiveness of DI resins etc. Have one at work (Pen type) must be going on 10 years old- still works well

on a 4 ft you don't really have much of a choice when it comes to hangons unfortunatley, unlike smaller tanks. Pretty much the Deltec or a Red Sea Prism at a stretch. ...

Love it Reef. Spectacular as Usual. Keep up the good work!

no they come out a month late in NZ

from your (shocking) pics I would be tempted to say Carinotetraodon borneensis

I was in Borders yesterday and November isn't in yet. You can probably get them airshipped over if you ask boarders and it will cost $3 more or something. October is out though..

its usually the opposite for my parents. They are the ones paying the powerbill remember

thats Oceandose I believe Marco

i normally do a side as a time if I do that on my tank.. Move corals to right, do what needs doing on rocks on left, then move corals to left and do what is needed on right...

they are made by Aqua-One Dixon. Get your LFF to order you in.. that looks like the XL size- they come in 3 different sizes I think... And Welcome to FNZAS Dancer17

:lol:

by the amount being changed

haha I meant fish not dish... I was eating dinner while posting-excuse me! Reef has told me what it is anyway- its guttatus...

what species is the dotted rabbitfish at HFF Mt. Roskil. I was trying to find info but there are about 8 different species of spotted rabbitfish plus hybrids. Anyone know? cheers
