  1. you can mitigate some of the bad things that may happen by doing 2 x weekly water changes with fresh salt water cold water marine takes longer to cycle and then mature than tropical marine or fresh water systems
  2. this vet and his team are building some good experience with reps http://ivabs.massey.ac.nz/staff_indiv.asp?id=304
  3. 12, BUT REALLY 4 BUT I WILL GET 8 MORE TO MAKE IT RIGHT SO THAT WILL BE 24 IN TOTAL BUT PLEASE DON'T QUOTE ME ON THAT
  4. i turn mine off when the temp drops outside they aren't in a warm house though
  5. blood red anemones replicate when under stress you don't need fish to cycle your tank just patience
  6. you may need to tint the divider to stop them damaging their snouts trying to get at each other or just put driftwood or plants to cut down line of sight
  7. maybe on here somewhere http://www.glueguru.co.nz/shop.php?func=44&S=e964a1d702ded59ed51b74c185876a29
  8. just do regular water changes
  9. nitrate of even above 100 ppm have been shown to be nontoxic to many species
  10. i am still breathing so life is good :sage: good to see you back here and into fish keeping again
  11. not necessarily, it is just more aesthetically pleasing to some
  12. i just do a rough estimate by eye of how much to change it is not critical just so long as it is regularly done in first few months of a new tank once tank is more mature i rely on the fish to tell me when to do a water change you can be more exact by calculating what is required to be changed but fishkeeping doesn't need to be an exact science unless that is what floats your boat
  13. you can either do ball valve or just divide part of flow back into sump if you have baffles in sump just remove one to give you more room for return pump area
  14. slow your flow down back to the tank and try again sounds like you don't have much room in return pump section of your pump will need to be enough to take extra overflow if your pump shuts down
  15. can you get over to tauranga i have plenty
