Hows the noise level of the BMqq

After alot of research it looks like I too will be joining the coral box M1 club, I wanted the micmol aqua pro but the cost difference is too great. The m1 seems to be great value for money. Im going to hold off on a skimmer and just do 20 litre water changes each week till i find the right one The new Tunze looks promising.

Ive got an eheim 1060 im going to put on trademe in as new cond

Im looking into a skimmer as i will run this as a ULNS, and a skimmer is essential to remove the excess bacteria as it dies off.

Hmm its actually hard to tell with no livestock in there LOL, it may be enough. I guess im just use to bigger versions on my old reef and not the nano equivilant.

grrr should have got the cp2 fr flow

Cheers live stock will be a pair of clowns and a midas blenny.

Well im back, sure do miss my 600 litre system, Wife has said i can save for a red sea S 500 But till that day comes .... I will be adding a fluval cp1 for flow (20X) should do it i wanted the cp2 but was worried about the sand bed... Not happy with the rocks but ill get there. Ive been using the DuplaMarine bacteria from Living reef and wow that stuff is great, the vials are stamped with prodibio which i used and loved on my old tank so that was a bonus. For lighting im thinking the larger one of these two lamps And the skimmer is something ill have to work on. Tank will be mainly softies, with a few select lps and sps

Hi there how are these looking very keen to get some. Cheers Ben

any luck with the skimmer yet ?

Where are you going to put the skimmer back sump? what compartment ?

Setting up a new tank, would love to get hold of some of the pieces that were in here again if you can help please let me know. Cheers

Photos i took with my underwater housing of a tank some where in the wops

Your one to talk Yeah i got rid the big bridge and swapped it for a smaller one

Cheers for the coments, Ill try to get a FTS front on to get an idea of the angles the previous one shows the open spaces but not really the new depth

Congrats on your newfound stardom

A few changes, almost happy with it. The aquarium now has a tone more depth and alot more swimming space for the fish so all in all its getting there and im happy 8)

but then my tank would be empty :oops:

The plan is to rotate the left HS so the large stags are at the back bring the front RHS right into the front corner so that the magnet can just get past on both corners, then hopeforly that will give me plenty of space to make another cool area for the remaining unloved corals. so as mentioned watch this space

Well Its time to start part two of this series, I just sold the large mid section of the tank and basically now have to rebuild the entire mid to RHS of the aquarium plus re house up to 9 large colonies of corals. Plus i need to do some major maintenance to get the tank back on track which has not been done due to work load and a recently pulled shoulder problem Pic as of 5 minutes ago

The clams look cool, as does the green M capricornis, How is the elegance going and love to see a FTS

tank specs are here all though a few things have changed over time http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/dogmatix-bens-reef--vt5130.html And cheers for the comments Ben
