got the tank filled today and my DIY rebracing job seems to have held. TOUCH WOOD (to the fish god) Hope to have my sump pump plumbed in a day or to but shes a beast so hooking up excess pipes to ensure not to a high flow rate through the system will be a mission Then i can finally claim my midas blenny from work hes only been there 4 months :lol: Plus new shipment out 20/12 must resist, all ready got a drilling today for not putting enough money aside for the honeymoon. aah finally my own reefy instead of all thoose tanks at work, get ya clippers out folks gonna need some cuttings

Having my wedding reception there in Feb

Keep a close eye on your alk this has alot to do with the condition of xenia IMO, try to keep it stable and above 8.5dkh Ben

not fake, dead. Species found in the S.I among a few other places, sorry kim i would have to say its worthless, i have heard tales that some ppl make jewelery out of it ?

From memory G.I was the first marine reserve in nz

Marine sci papper at auckland uni says other wise, please note that i am only talking about certain species of fish that have responded in a positive manner to catch size/limit not all. Ben

Hey bro, hope the fish are well. I have lots of custs that by it to remove black beard algae, but a d/dose would certainly be at the users risk. Like i said tho i know heaps of ppl that do it. Good luck Ben

New Zealand has been the world leader in sustainable management of fisheries and its quotas, some species of fish infact have shown overall increase in numbers. it will not be long untill the aquatics industry embraces similar techniques. If the company in Q doesnt start to support thelocals and the sustainable management of catches they will only be shooting themselves and the trade in tghe foot. All i can say is i wish the locals all the best.

The big scorpion brittle stars at work i just get to come out with a stinky mussel, keep on pulling the food furthe awayeach time he nearly gets it. good luck

i can see if it can be held at reef bar or zoo bar ?
