Yup, I want a green octopus coral

I'm not sure that the skimmer should have the same VOLUME as your tank.. lol, looking good

And then you start to add things like RO

What is the 2nd fish down Reef? Some kind of tang?

360 high can probably get away with T8 lighting? And 450w is good, my 380 is too narrow

yeah, they are starting to be used in sumps now.

Warm water river ?

Copperbrand Butterfly aka CBB

Syringe of boiling water

my lights run from 1pm until 11pm on my marine tank

Anyone from Auckland going down on a day trip - If you have a full licence but don't feel like driving, i can drive you + others, or, i can come as a passanger and provide gas money. Please call / text me on 027 242 5176

There is someone on TM selling bags of black crushed coral. Not sure what it'll be like though

Actually Reef, just a question about corals sliming up after transit, is it safe to give them a quick wrinse in freshwater, or not, i've heard conflicting reports..

Same here

that WAS my BTA before it got chomped. Its now sulking behind my rockwork, and has about 1/8th of that many tentacles

Stella, what kind of camera are you using?

The question is - Is the average hobbyist hurting the fish shops when they grow plants in their pond, the plants grow, the hobbyist sells them / trades them on Trademe, on this site etc, is that going to be hurting the shops? People breeding on TM, same deal? People growing coral and giving away frags / selling frags at like 1/5th the price of the shops etc etc etc. Most people would rather have a coral from an established tank that has only been in NZ for a couple of weeks etc. More ways to look at it.

i'd leave them in the tank personally, if you take the corals out, you will still stress them

Rabbitdish? I like mine with herbs and spices.

White acro anyone lol?

True. There is also a loophole in the NZ immigration laws. Come to NZ, run a compay for two years, get residency, go to australia. >.< And back to corals: A lot of the corals i've seen in NZ are pretty good, when they come in as frags, they are pretty crappy, but with time and feeding will change colour, shape etc, and will become more interesting specimins. (I need to find zoos )

And the dealer apparently has a "special" on these.

Its happening in every industry. At least with the fish industry, you don't have pricespy with online shops advertising $1-10 on cost lol. Although, I was told by a certain shop that sells marines "Price on xxx light, only 100 more than normal dealer" What in the name of god. On a 1300 PC I make about that, and have to put a LOT more work into support, building the thing etc etc etc

yeah, but much easier to have something permanantly feeding your tank

At 10cm its unlikely to be the BGK, especially during daylight hours. If the knife is taking out guppies, the whole thing will be gone.
