  1. It doesn't hold a significant amount of bacteria. It's made of crushed oyster shells.

    New corals

    Euphyllia time! Can't Torch this...Nah, just doesn't sound the same...
  3. That's about average, even inexpensive for the fancier plecos. Unless you want the boring, dime a dozen fish every other person has you're going to have to pay a little bit more.

    New corals

    Do you mean, "Who was selling them?" :lol: Got them from Remus at the Pet House in Parapararumumu. I think he gets all of his stuff from Redwoods.

    New corals

    I'm hoping the brain does well. I haven't had any luck with brains. Errr...I mean brain corals. I'm probably going to have to move the hammer too, it's getting a too much current where it is, I think.

    New corals

    I picked up these guys today. Can't get a good picture of the cleaner shrimp though. Won't sit still where I can see it!

    SEIO M1100

    Even the almighty, omnipotent, hung like a horse Tunzes risk breaking if a hard object goes into the impeller....
  10. Yeah, Pak&Sav usually has sheep heart. Close enough, just smaller and more fiddly.
  11. Throw bird grit in a bag in the filter. Cheap and effective.

    flow and LPS

    I'm finding I have the same problem and all I have is two M820s and my return pump! I have both Seios aimed at a rock in the middle of the tank next to my anemone and everything else scattered in sheltered spots.

    T8 light query

    18" bulbs are pretty common. I have one of those dual arcadia? light units that takes 18" T8s. They're 15 watts each. Not much you can do but add more bulbs or deal with it.

    Pukerua Bay - NSW

    I use http://www.niwa.co.nz/services/tides/ Niwa's forecaster also gives you approximate tide height. Porirua harbor is the closest to Pukerua bay.

    ponds

    Definitely the concrete waterfall doing it. You probably haven't gotten all the spots the water contacts the concrete covered with pond paint, I think.

    Reef Booster

    Got it today. I'll give the tank a dose tonight. I'm undecided whether I want to go with half doses every week or full doses. My tank isn't particularly packed. Oh and, $90 for a 2" cube?!? Hehe.
  18. I generally put lids on my tank over winter. The extra cooling isn't needed then and it cuts down evaporation heaps so I don't get condensation on literally everything in the house.
  19. There's something seriously faulty with yours if it can't pump that deep.

    Fluval Filters

    I didn't even know there was a 5 series.
  21. I have one of those, works fine. They don't seem to deal with a lot of backpressure well, but that's not a big problem. It's quieter than the diaphragm pump it was replacing and flows a couple times as much, if it's not dealing with a lot of backpressure.

    Lights

    What's the orangey stuff in the upper right?
  23. I need a good sized batch of mysid shrimp to get a population started off in my tank.

    Coralline Algae

    I have great coraline growth too, and I bet I have heaps of phosphates.
