  1. they get eaten by fish in the wild and have had my marines eat them Calories 89 Fat 0.6g Carbs 5.1g Protein 14.5g There are 89 calories in a 85g serving of Paua. Calorie breakdown: 6% fat, 24% carbs, 70% protein.
  2. An example from Florida of why we have importation restrictions and what seem onerous hurdles to jump over to get new species put on "the list" http://www.reef2rainforest.com/2014/07/ ... ish-rules/
  3. Lol, good to know what species of fish you are feeding it to.
  4. With both fish in and no fish cycling you require some test kits for both to measure levels and stages of the cycle. with fish in you build the bacteria levels as you go and no fish should be tortured in the process as you will do water changes as ammonia etc rise. Starting with 2 or 3 small fish, depending on size of tank and doing 1 or 2 20% water changes a week has always worked for me so long as an eye is kept on toxin levels.
  5. N.Z. Purple shore crab. Leptograpsus variegatus

    Hello

    Welcome aboard. May your time here be enjoyable.
  7. Had him about 4 months, currently 4 foot tank at 16c temperature. Caught locally about the size of a golfball originally, probably Pinnoctopus cordiformis
  8. Guarding his shell collection.
  9. Barking buddies from memory
  10. Also Aquaworld nth shore, online as well wonderworld rotorua. Sump as big as will fit in the cabinet allowing room for any other gear you may want to put in there.
  11. I did this to heat my 3000 litre. It was fairly basic but ran the tank over winter. Without a thermostat control I would have cooked the fish, used 2 200 L insulated drums for overnight heating. Sneaky2 has a system on the forum in reptiles and amphibs I think.

    This boy is growing fast
  13. Thanks. Have dangerous goods cert. and cabinet.
  14. Sponge probably a Tethya spp., pink strands maybe Corallina officinalis and green algae on shell possibly Enteromorpha spp.
  15. Marine snail eggs come in all sorts of structual forms.
  16. Loaches maybe your option as others can be fin nippers.
  17. Well done, I would consider that a win. Time to set up a bath for the leather jackets. Strength of H2O2?
  18. Welcome, A bit more info on type of filter, tank setup, livestock and feeding regime will help. It could be a sign of overstocking or over feeding.
  19. Yes you can but because of the way it is created it can contain heavy metals which require special tests to determine their prescence. IME I havent seen a marine tank containing scoria that has been running longer 12 months.
