all the tanks at auckland zoo have drains... just get it so you have a decent sized pipe with a nice big tap like the guys with big reef tanks use and you just need to open the tap to drain the water... easy!!!

should be sweet if new- give them a wash

haha sounds good

oh thanks layton. I have 200 L with 40L sump. berlin method.... At the moment i am just stocking it with corals... I have pulsing xenia, sarcophyton, mushrooms, colt and a fewe other small things at the moment. I really really want a sixline wrasse, at the moment I have a striped goby, a bta with a pink skunk clown, and 3x green chroms

i'm more using it because i want to keep a mandarin so i want lots of macroalgae so i can have lots of pods... I also want it for crystal clear water etc..
-
who uses this stuff? I have read about it but have not seen it for sale i am thinking about altering my sump so that it includes a refugium. how much does it cost? and also where would i get macroalgae from if i set up a refugium? I am thinking about having my tank so it goes overflow through filter wool, then it will be skimmed. then it goes through the refugium, through submerged bioballs past the heater then back to the main tank... cheers for your help
-
welcome- wow an nice selection of fish (an invertebrates!!!)
-
good stuff man... haha pity they decided to lay on your filter though- make sure the newly emerged fry don't get sucked up!!!
-
yeah thats what i do... the other one is- I got it for $10- meaning it cost $100... $50 meaning $500 etc
-
nice. that is one beastly anemone!
-
i think I need one of those in my living room (might have to shift the reef tank over a little bit 8) ) do you want to make me one warren??? i'll pay for the silicon :lol: (thats would set me back a couple of hundred though I presume!)
-
more christchurch people; this is getting out of control!!! but welcome to the site- i'm sure you will find alot of like-minded people on here to answer any queries.... I'm in the same boat you are- my tank collection this time last year was one 2ft tank with axolotls- now I have 10 tanks!!!!
-
HAHA always the funny guy eh warren!!!
-
if i was you i would take it apart and try it again gannet....
-
haha don't feed your fish more than they can eat. epecially if its live food. my puffer got halfway though his second earthworm and decided he no longer liked it- needless to say water changes and gravel vaccuming are high priorites in his tank!!!
-
hell yeah. check this beast out:
-
from the tanks i have seen being made they attach back pane to bottom, then the two sides, and lastly the front pane- hope that helps
-
all my snails I pull out of my planted tanks go straight into my puffer tank. needless to say they don't last long!
-
what do you want to use it for. some things need more air than others. you can buy aquaone or elite air pumps which have multiple air holes and i have never had any problems with these... the only problem is if you don't want to use all the air holes then you have a nasty hissing sound!
-
its getting colder though. i was half frozen when i had to get up at 4 to go to work this morning!!! damn polished wooden floors!!!
-
i have only seen book 3 (the big tanks book!!!!) i need to see the others!
-
mmmm yummy... you shoulda pulled it out and put it in formaldehyde to preseve it alsn. that woulda been cool!!!!!
-
yeah
-
haha

wow thats high. i dunno the adverse effects but i do know a fast increase of over 100ppm per day is bad.... have you been using mag supplements obviously? coz kalkwasser etc are usually pretty poor ate supplying mg to the tank
