well done Ade

How did you clean the filter?

Congratulations

yes indeed i have learnt an old dog can learn a new trick so long as the old dog still wants to learn :thup:

under $700 :smln:

maybe increase your surface movement how often are you changing water

is the surface of the tank water being agitated flow increases dissolved oxygen in the water

welcome aboard

:ske: &c:ry

have you changed water supply area or water in the tank move i think carbonates hold a fair amount of the hydronium ions in check. IF there are less carbonates in new water they can be used up by plants and the hydronium is released causing a crash

wonder if the move stopped your cycle and caused the crash whats your KH

that has probably been noted on some spy agency programme somewhere in the states :smln:

GUTTED do you know why?

thanks, we were pleased with the result for money expended without the stand it took us 8 hrs to put together

yes extra resistance in any area that changes flow, bends, joins, reduction, smoothness of internal surface of tubing etc

First things going in the tanks are 24 Pleurobranchaea maculata for study on toxicity http://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/Contexts ... -sea-slugs once that is finished then it is onto breeding and raising larval nz marine fish 500 litres of fresh NSW going into system each week have a 200 litre drum of cycled live rock ready to go into sump sump is currently dark, constructing a tower filter for it at the moment

there is a thing about big, mouthed, can tolerate various water conditions fish, that puts them off the list

+1

thanx, 24 tanks and still room for more going to use bigger bins and another sump on bottom rack

Aquaculture setup? Been toying with setting up a few tanks to raise fry in, will need about 10 to 20 tanks so they can be kept seperate. Looking at those warehouse plastic storage bins as tanks and running them all off one sump. Still need to be isolate each if necessary and make it as cheap as possible, plastic container and lid for water inflow plastic hair curler as comb for out flow, elbow screwed into 25mm bulkhead hair curler from $2 shop before diassembly neta irrigation fitting for controlling flow thru silicon airline tube return thru 25mm pipe to 100mm drainage pipe return and 800litre sump some container and return pipes inflow adjusters into 25mm id pipe control tap to ensure flow is kept up to individual pipes wide open and pipe is full drain pipe is 1/3rd full of water the whole setup so far

no thats robbie deans :bggrn:

there is one on monster fish keepers somewhere
