or you can come and borrow a small tank to put him in. i have 9 clowns and find them fairly tough as they grow so slow a 4 year old one would be hard to replace. if i can do anything to help let me know i live on chapel rd in dannemora so very close

would you like to put your clown in one of my tanks until you get yours sorted

just put the shell in the tank whole

about the size of a M&M but a lot harder

sea shells from the beach,or as i have just learnt bird grit in a stocking in your filter(the one made out of shell) patric at goldfish pagoda has some coral pce, im sure he will give you some.(hes in china for two more weeks)

is your wood bog wood and do you have a lot of bubbles grab some coral,shells,or some lime stone. this will raise your PH

hi doch i live in howick area as well and our tap water is around 7.6 to 7.8 and i have never had a problem with it droping,can you tell us what you have in your tank.not the fish but the substrate,plants, rocks, ect(whate type) have you ever put any chemicals in the tank? what is the time between water change ?

same 36% happy ,as i have never owned a reef tank

they are guppies, they never stop

welcom to the forums ask away,helping people to get the tanks the way they like them is what makes the hobby grow

have you moved the tank. the sun is a big reason for the algae. as dally said death buy flying fox

have a look herehttp://www.deepblueaquarium.co.nz/filter.htm

mercury energy paid for the meat and the fish, i gess it was there fault because they were digging up lots of peoples lawns all over the area.they replaced a big transformer(i think)just down the road from us. i was still happy to bank there cheque

about a year ago the power was off here for 12 hours and i lost a batch of jags and it defrosted some meat in the frezer.i rang up and put in a clame and they sent me a cheque for $100.00. $50 for the fish and $50 for the meat. you have to ring them up when the power goes off and tell them that you have fish that will die without power for to long.then they regester your name and address. this makes it easyer when it comes time to clame cooked a lot of steak that night(friends for a BBQ)no wasted meat and the jags were only a week old anyway and soon replaced. would hate to think of what a big marine tank would cost to replace

take one hose,put one end in tank and take other end and BLOW the power company will pay for your losses but that dose not fix the fact that your fish die in a power cut i cover my tanks in blankets and poly. gas heater in the room to keep the temp up. a good water change

aqua one is the same as via aqua,the parts are interchangeable. i have both but 1200 is still better than 1000. what size tank are you putting it in. other brands to look at are jeabo and attman i have a jeabo and it works very well 1200lt/h with 4 baskets and primer they are cheep $130.00,been going for about a year now with no problems good luck on your choice

good size jag on TM http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/0004-3319-3326-3344-/auction-46050530.htm

welcometo the FNZAS if your small fish start to thin out you will know that the severum has worked out what tasty littel snacks they make. i had a gold severum live in my community tank until he got to about 100mm then fish started to go missing,found the severum with a tail sticking out of his mouth and he had lived in there from about 15mm

i get mine from east tamaki

welcome to the FNZAS nice tank,very healthy looking plants where are you from

go for a walk on any beach,just soak it to get the salt out
