  1. Have you tried sitting it on a piece of sponge?
  2. Skimmer exports crap out of the system, canister keeps it in until you clean it
  3. Try turning dial down until heater turns off
  4. how much salt are you using as mollies do better with about a Tbsp per 30 litres
  5. A lot will depend on the experience level of the owners, it might be as simple as a willingness to learn and an ability to follow orders. What types of aquaria have you kept so far? I think Mahurangi tech do a fish keeping course
  6. good to see you are gang warily, good luck
  7. I always have found the best part of fish keeping is setting up new systems.
  8. New system, chilling 18 separate tanks. tanks are 40 litre, water will be 17c in temp, each tank is self contained for research purposes
  9. you may find 6 legs will be enough but better with 8 are you welding yourself?, i have always found it better to tack it all together then weld joins in opposite sequence to avoid distorting the stand
  10. Creating a rock pool with wave action. I have been playing with a bell siphon and a Shub as a rock pool Bell siphon wave surge currently through 25mm pipe but will alter this to a wider outlet
  11. on a high tide is best so long as water is clean no worries
  12. My plec blows bubbles or it might just be flatulence :dunno:
  13. Welcome aboard. Have you tried taking the wood out to see ie that changes anything?
  14. Poor outline for a survey if they want hobbyists to fill it out
  15. Press edit on your post and see how I put your link inside the image tags
  16. A partially clogged filter may have become a nitrate factory that was feeding your fungus
  17. I have 4 temperate tanks on the one system 3 are 90 litres with 2 of those having young leather jackets in them, in one of those the fish have recurring whitespot in the other no whitespot. the only difference in the tanks is that one is full of sponges so i believe that the sponges are consuming the free swimming stage, Tomites before they can re infect the fish.
  18. interesting that brine shrimp nauplii consume dinospores
  19. They want to know how you exercise your fish etc.
  20. As the tank is new and has fish in it i would do a weekly water change to mitigate any toxin buildup
  21. Nothing worse than a evik, apathetic, diseased, sharp edged stone to cause problems.
  22. an unstable pH can be an indicator of too high a bio load
