sure they arent starving from lack of things to eat, you say the one you have is shrinking, that sounds alot like starvation.

just note, its a dolphin, old pic been discussed on many surfing forums and all have come up with it being a dolphin.

rare white anemone? not too many anemones are white in nature thats why i thought it, and if its re-gaining its zoox then that proves it was bleached. alot of the anemones coming into your country would be bleached because of your quarantine process wouldnt they? id put money on that being bleached though

that anemone looks rather bleached brian, where did you get it from?

green chromis sell for $9 each at the store down the road.

i thought it was the other way around?? but even so i would get a few good books, better to have on hand for coral ID and better having a hard copy than having to be on the computer all the time.

:oops:

your not letting it get to your head though are you?

sounds like a decent theory to me, and all the examples i can think of support it. although they have cyano problems in the US and nearly all of them use ASW? im guessing the cyano comes in the water? or does the water promote its growth? only way to find out i guess is find someone who went from NSW to ASW

mmmm rum. fish will be happy the first few changes then hehe

not my tank so no offence taken. yep its a corner tank! its damo's tank from rtaw and just a tank i like due to the colours he gets from his acros. he owns a lighting company so the amount of algae probably has some thing to do with the 1000W MHs above it judging by the acro colours id say nutrients are pretty low! from memory he uses collected water, which again supports the nsw vs asw theory. i dont think having the reef on our doorstep makes a heap of difference apart from lower prices on fish etc. which seems to make some peope comlacent (ie. its ok if it dies, just buy another one) which is a mind-set that pisses me off! weatherson tank is amazing, his DIY is 100x more professional than store bought gear. the pride he has in his diy is great!

nuh they are all shitty like this one:

well there is when you put in the exchange rate. $70+difference is a fair bit IMO

yellow tangs are about $110 here and flames about $90, what are they there? my bi-colour cost me $15.40 :lol: and that was full retail price.

in aus we get the nice acros from ningaloo reef and parts of the great barrier reef
