Under gravel filter plates?

Todays the day the seahorses have thier picnic.
-
No worries, would rather see you start out right than end up with a stinking soup in a couple of months
-
I have had problems with scoria in the past and only use coral rock now,
-
Rock from the shore is not porous enough to support much bacteria for the nitrogen cycle.
-
Is the 'live rock' from the beach or coral rock from a marine tank? you have started a new tank off with a bio load and very little bacteria to complete your nitrogen cycle twice weekly 25% water changes will help to keep ammonia levels down for at least the next 2 months the red crab will eat everything in there, the shrimp and cats eye snails will help to clean up uneaten food and algae

welcome back some good info here viewtopic.php?f=5&t=23675
-
Going local marine gives a wide selection of clean up crew.
-
Welcome aboard, What critters are you removing from the live rock? www.naturenz.wix.com/nzmarinekeepers

Doing a WC will remove ammonia which you need to cycle
-
Take it out

Native mussels will die in tropical marine for 2 reasons, sustained higher temp and lack of food. Rockpools get flushed twice a day.

phyto planktons, make sure it is still closing, if it stays open it is dead

Be careful to buy a chiller that can be serviced in nz, some refrigants can not be found here
-
The quality of frozen food can leave a lot to be desired, those I know who have horses for more than 6 months breed thier own food.
-
You need a permit to sell any nz marine fish. Local ones will need to be kept under 18c and a constant food supply at hand.
-
Filling the container up stops the slop, just need to factor the 1,000kg in when cornering
-
Wouldn't do it in a tank
-
You have probably done as much as can be done, the enzymes in the gut should eventually dissolve the shell
-
You could try some of your viagra in his food :slfg:
-
T5's not T8's with actinic tubes
-
Only light on my marines that I paid more than 2 hundy for was a double 150w halide and 4 x t5 light, T5's will do a 90cm tank or keep your eye out for 2nd hand units on tard me

your texan doesn't fancy your FH and no amount of flowers money or wine will change that
