We stock the NLS Float range that goes all the way up to a 7.5mm pellet. Our large Passer Angel loves it.

Not a big commitment though..... :lol:

Correct. Customs don't chase people for payment. You don't pay, you don't get your stuff. Whatever shipping agent you are using will hold the goods and calculate the amount you need to pay. If they need the lodge a formal clearance with Customs (low value items are written off on mass via manifests) then Customs charge additional processing fees on top of the duty/GST and then there will be the Customs Agents fees. If MPI (MAF) decide to examine your shipment, or an MPI clearance is required, there can be additional charges. Customs do not charge you for examining your goods.

Nice pics. You do realise the wrasse is only lulling them in to a false sense of security. As soon as it is big enough it will eat them.

They had a program on the discovery channel about one type of grouper that almost exclusively eats crays. A large one can get a hundred in a night.

Assuming you are transferring all your stock from your old tank, why don't you do your freshwater leak tests then drop the water level in the display so that you can transfer the water from your old tank with the stock. This will make it a lot less of a shock for all concerned. You could use a good 3/4 of the water from your old tank (syphoned out clean) and use the remaining to shake the crap out of your rocks and catch the fish in. This way the water conditions won't be massively different and you can just drop the fish in.

I bet all the tourists running around, standing on the reefs and having their crap end up in the ocean does more damage. Who many tons get dredge out for road works and construction?

The skimate colour has changed in my skimmers since dosing phyto. One is an Aqua-C EV240 which uses an injection system and the other is an Aqua Medic with a needle wheel pump. Definitely greener. And on the SPS front (only one in the tank) I have some plating monti that would always grow for awhile then start dying off, then start growing again after a water change before dying off again. Since I have been dosing phyto it has not gone through a die off phase and is probably larger than ever with great polyp extension.

Someone might like to let Julian Sprung know that corals don't benefit from phytoplankton feeding as in his book (Corals - A Quick Reference Guide) every coral is listed with phytoplankton as a food source. How can feeding an artificial phytoplankton food be better than feeding live phytoplankton? The only real downside I see with phytoplankton is that it is more labour intensive, takes up more space and requires more equipment. This is the whole article http://www.dtplankton.com/articles/filterfood.html

Been dosing 500ml per day into two 750 litre tanks (would dose more if I had more) for at least a month. NO negative effects to date unless you call improved coral growth and a massive increase in micro fauna a bad thing. Even noticed a decrease in cyno . If you can get/grow phytoplankton then it would be the best first choice food for feather dusters. If not then go with a quality food that is suitable for feeding them.

I would take it down to 24 for winter. Mine is set to heat to 24 and the cooling kicks in at 27. The tank sat at 27-28 all summer.

You won't be able to keep a Heteractis magnifica in a Red Sea Max. A bubble tipped anemone would do just fine. The magnifica require massive amounts of flow and very intense lighting.

Yes you can get them. The anemone in the movie is a Heteractis magnifica - Magnificent Sea Anemone.
