does and 1 know if there is aadjustable island suitable for very shallow water for my newts

is it natural for them to fight? i have two at the moment and they sometimes bite each other

ok will 2 clowns and 2 mandarins fit in a 4ft together longterm?

so you would recommend i start small should i stick with the 4ft tank and up grade every few years when ready its only because i would like a tang that i thaught id go big

cool thanks and to the person who did my calculations thanks for that didnt know it was that little lol but all good

how much liters will be in this tank? 2400x600x600mm

i found this skimmer for 7 hundered and something what should i be looking for for a 8ft tank? Reef Octopus Skimmer DDNW-150-6530~~ Exteranl Use,matching 2 OTP-2000 Needle Wheel pump.Whole Cast Acrylic material and Dark Grey PVC Fittings.Good Quality and High Performance. 2 x OTP-2000 Needle Wheel Pump Suitable for tanks up to 1300L Size(mm):150680 FootPrint:450200 Water Inlet diameter 25mm Water outlet diameter 25mm Recirculating model (Can be use insump or not)

ouch have seen a few lights and they were quite expensive and im guessing 8ft lights are going to be worse havnt seen them around yet and havnt had a chance to look for skimmers any one recommend a excellent skimmer?

cool looks like that will be the bank breaker so far will save and have one installed ill start there fist i think when im ready then the tank

so all i would need to do when doing water changes is fill a bucket or something with the water from there and add the sea salt? or do i need to treat the water some more

bummer what a shame i didnt know that well ill try and sorce some tank breed clowns and hopefully if i do everything right i can justify myself by makeing there captive life as pleasent as possible but on the other hand one part of me says im just adding to the fire by purchaseing these fish and makeing more room for them to catch more and start te cycle again but on the other hand i think if we didnt catch and domesticate them learn every little detail about them to keep them happy safe and breeding in captivity maybe there will be more captive breed ones hmm very hard decision

are the above fish tank breed as i would prefer to get tank breed ones rather than wild caught but if not ill have to live with it dont like the thaught of them being taken from the wild but i guess if people have a chance at establishing a tank breed then there will be less taken from the wild and all animals at on stage were wild im talking beguinning of time before man domesticated em lol

thanks but i still have alot of reasurch on my choosen fish and saveing to do according to all the products ive lookd at but thanks all for the hints and tips and all the links keep em comeing lots to read and thnk about

i agree thats why i decided to start with clowns as im told there a good beguiner fish then get used to owning a marine tank and all that go's with it for a few yers the slowly build up my knowledge over the space of years till i can finally manage a mandarin im only haveing a big tank for the tang as im told they like length rather then height and better to start of there than upgradeing every few years as i add the other fish

love the pout looks like he or she wants a kiss lol very gorgeous fish well i plan to get a 8ft tank to eventually house all fish in 2 clowns 1 tang 1 mandarin so is it best to find some1 selling live rock that is setup ready tto go and lots of it do many people collect and sell rock like this? set up a tank specificly for rocks and coral to onsell will go and look for that thread and see what im in for

i would like to space intro say two years apart clowns wait two years tang wait two years then mandarin so i can build up food source and rocks ect is this a good idea? also i reckon i would learn more before the next lot arrive so will be better on the marine life

i think i may pass on the sea horses as i would have to set up a whole new tank then and not to keen on that so i think clownfish for a few years then tang and maybe mandarin thanks for the help and advice much appreceiated the fish guy at L.F.S lol i got the abbrev right has lots of experiance wif tropical fresh water fish not marine so ill have to learn on my own when im ready

i wont just thaught id ask and find a solution

on the seahorse thing what if i got a tank devider and seperated the seahorses at feeding time remove the devide and they can do what they want till feeding time or would they get stressed?

im haveing trouble finding the water filter any1 no were to find them or what name i should look up or ask for? ive looked up rodi water filter

thanks for the link loooks like a pretty cool marine tank

no no1 i know has a marine tank would be cool to see one is there a RODI filter machine? ill see if i can make any sense of it all tomorrow but thanks for all the help thau

i did but got confused with terminology and abbreviations ill get my pen and paper tomorrow and do a more indepth reasurch on clownfish one more question how do i get water from the main tank to the sump? what is the machine called and will a skimmer work for fresh water tanks or would they pureify the water to much is there a machine to change the water or do you have to buy it from petstore

just a lil 1 in marine circles it is 120cm long 44cm wide and 44cm deep i may settle on clownfish as there the easyest are they very common in newzealand? so its best i do all reasurch on clowns and build my tank when ready on what they require? i see they like annemonies will other fish be ok with these if i later deceide to intro say a tang or mandrin? as i probly would like to have lots of annemonies are they easy to come by or grow?
