most cardinals come from eastern europe I believe (Bred). Neons come from breeders in Asia (Bred)

http://www.aquariumhobbyist.com/article ... aping.html http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/aqu ... aping.html check out thousands of tanks on the net and see what works best/ looks best. I have spent hours upon hours trawling through old TOTM's on RC, UR and others for inspiration for my tank

should do as long as you don't mind if your male guppies don't have tails! Betas shouldn't really be kept with guppies because they will nip the guppies tails. Also... some bettas are better left by themselves. My Beta for example can't stand any other fish in its tank!

I was being facetious I would be quite worried if I actually thought Tuataras were Dinosaurs, as I'm studiying Environmental management and Ecology :bounce:

Thought I might throw up a price list of stuff so far for the tank for peole interested. 4 ft Tank and stand- $60 (Needed alot of work, painting etc) 4 ft 2x20W light - $125 AquaOne CF1200 filter- $130 300W heater- $20 25 kg of sand- $20 two big pieces of bogwood- $60 small piece of bogwood- $15 Anubias plants (x6) - $30 XL Java fern (x2) - $15 Java moss - $10 Glowlight tetras (x15) - $35 Neon tetras (x15) - $30 thats it so far... Total $550

Bump^^^^ (RE- Question Above) Just a quick update on current fish stocks in the tank -15 x Glowlights -15 x Neons (Thanks Buldogood )

hey broms2 how is your gecko tank going?

I dunno? What about oto's?

Tuataras are dinosaurs

prob the lack of water changes...

I think all fish are pretty tolerant of Water Wilson :lol:

2x GSP's? there is lots of info on the net about them. few threads on here too. This is the thread from a while back when I wanted to go Brackish

can't see image. says "Forbidden"

good idea reef

what price range? the deltec hang ons are good but if you are looking for something cheaper the AquaC remora has good reviews(Prob too small for your tank though)

did you buy the hermit of is it a native?... that Bubble coral looks strange, did it have bubbles when you bought it? I don't know lots about bubble coral but that just looks odd man. looks like a pink finger leather give it time to put its polyps out

Do you eat fish noelj? Surely you would realize the number of fish caught for consumption (Including reef fish yes) is far is excess of those caught for the Aquarium trade. Many fish you see in Shops (Most clown fish, Banggai cardinals and Seahorses) are tank bred. As for corals, most corals in New Zealand's Reefkeepers tanks are not of Wild origin (well they were originally of course) but are from Aquaculture and frag trading amongst hobbyists. Bottom trawling and dynamiting have far more disastrous implications on fragile reef ecosystems than selective coral removal for the aquarium trade. Other factors which are having an effect on reef which are perhaps human related include the rising global sea temperature. Reefkeeping is often the scapegoat in the media due to the direct impact humans are having on the reef ecosystems. What I am saying however is that Indirect Human influences on coral reefs have much larger consequences than direct ones. Of course I am not saying that you can just get corals and fish and have no obligation to care for them and provide for their needs, of course you have to, but the damage Reefkeeping has on reef ecosystems is small (and reducing) in comparison to other human activities. (Even snorkeling has negative impacts on reefs)

no sump? I don't really like the red sea skimmers myself

as with most things

if you acclimatise them slowly and your tank isn't too warm

not mine but cool nonetheless! from http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showt ... id=1188663

they are nice aren't they 8)
