cool thanks for that its only on the one rock and hasent spread so i can take the rock out and chip a bit away with the bubble algae on it

some more pictures whole tank shots coralline is growing well but unfortunatly so is hair algae this is due to me not having a RODI unit yet and the insane amounts of been topping up with tap water recently (im lucky we have very good tap water here otherwise it would be worse) hammer coral has recovered well and and has a lot of new growth kenya tree is doing well also despite being fragged heavily (its still only a frag itself) the rock the kenya tree is on is growing red macro and some small grape like thing any ideas what it is fragged green star poylp for a friend as well as kenya tree and red macro quite suprised how easy it is to do lateset addition in corals is a green mushroom i thought a month or so back that i had lost all of my zoos due to a large apistata stinging them but i have almost rid my tank of pest anemones now injecting them with vinegar in a syrine(w/ needle) so these zoos should bounce back nicely now there are two colours here green (top) and orange and green(bottom) all in the same colony a few other photos i have also changed my 36w pl bulb from a 10k/actinic mix to a 12k marine blue so im much happier with the colour of the light now too have added another clownfish ended up having to swap the new one for a smaller one as they were fighting , they are now getting on really well the bigger 1 defending the small one from the blue damsel today brought some more live rock from jolliolli it had some hariy mushrooms attached they look great opened up and i cleaned a lot of the algae off the glass using a stainless steel scraper that takes single edge razor blades(brand is ceraclean , its for cleaning ceramic hobs and is about $13 at the supermarket works great and razor blades are cheap) glass shrimps are still alive and well although 1 has migrated to the sump the other is in the over flow which isnt a bad thing as when my pj cardinal gets bigger they wont last long

it wouldnt live long all the ammonia would kill it before it made it all the way although there is a fish calla candiru that swins up urethras

my mother in -law has a cat that came to live with them from a few streets over its a black moggy called nugget(as sooty was deemed too rascist :dunno: ) it swims in the creek nextdoor and has caught a 2 foot eel and brought it home. i remember catching banded kokapu in an orchard ditch when i was young in the moutere area quite large adults they would take bread crumbs from the surface

i think aqua kneadit is about $18 at bunnings dont be too concerned about the green colour of it as it sets white , the plastic rods are about 5mm thick

equiss epistixx clear its a 2 pot waterbourne epoxy a lot cheaper than stronger epoxies made in chch your local paint shop should be able to order it in or ring equiss and get it sent up

go to the dr agin if you get worse as it can get serious

go to a curtain shop and get a plastic rod (the ones they use for adjusting the angle of blinds it can be heated gently over a kitchen element and bent to shape

do the baskets sit flat on a flat surface? if they dont empty the deformed one of media and put it in boiling water to soften it and staraighten it out you will need to use the small black seals on the pipes thruogh the media baskets or the filter may not work correctly

must mean some slimy brown algae growth that normally coats everything

we are with vodafone 35gb and homeline for $100 a month

is it that the "bases" of the driftwood( the pieces rouching the table are not flat or is it that the piece is too top heavy? you could always try sawing the bases a lil bit so they have a flat area to sit on but beware store brought driftwood can be very hard and difficult to cut

broadleaf dock perhaps :lol:

our property has under gone similar works where the creek that surrounds our property has had a damaged culvert repalced and the floodwall next to the creek is being built up. for ages after the culvert collapsed there was nothing but eels upstream of the culvert they trapped and shifted a lot of them so they werent landlocked they also cleared all the vegetation along either side of the stream and that which was growing in the stream (think live willow branches and grass) the culvert was only repaired 3 weeks ago and already i see we have whitbait above the culvert as well assmall bullys that water is also healthier looking and less stagnant we dont seem to have as many eel as some of the remaining ones may have moved to deeper water as the creek is very shallow now (less than 20cm in some areas compared to >1m or 2m in flood) the banks will revegate quickly but the culvert is a concern if fish cant swim up it

i tought you had already upgraded to those 28w leds? :dunno:

must be a modern school i just remember we had windows to open or a coal fired radiator heater

whistler tadpoles look a lot different they are very dark comapred to bell frog tadpoles as well as being smaller

perhaps u could turn the air con down to 18 or lower then the temp issues would be solved
