we want more pics!!!!!!

Had been diving in the red sea for many years (many years ago) and since came to NZ and missed all that magic. so my daughter turned up with a little tank 20cm and that prompted us to go to HFF Albany to get some FW fish. but after looking at their display and asking few questions I went back the next week and spent around $1000 on rocks and hardware.

looking great, RBTA looks good.

I wonder how close miracle mud to mangrove mud in nutrition value

beautiful!

Where do u get this generic stuff?

bring on the pics, bro

Nice tank. Sorry to hear about the emperor, how long you had the emperor? I've got one, and it is usually recommended to buy them juveniles (imported juvenile), otherwise chances they may not make it.

and don't forget to put a sign "clowns, enter at your own risk"

can these fish live in a sea water?

I read an article from Israel that some reefers over there collect water from the Mediterranean sea, now, that is one polluted sea that makes takapuna water sparkling clean with comparison. and I can confirm this as I found myself at times swimming in Tel Aviv beach surrounded by floating pieces of crap. :evil:

I've been using Takapuna water for over a year and so far no probs, UV filter has proved to be very important when using NSW
