  1. for your size tank, i would use a HOB filter...penguin bio wheel, acua clear ect.

    jagar heaters are pretty much top of the line....but rather expensive. I use via aqua heaters. I recomend getting a fully submergable heater ;)

    try get a twin tube fluro light hood. it should give enough light to keep most plants ;)

    and a school of corys would look cool...just don't try to start yopur tank with panda corys :D

  2. Hey guys, we were having a bit of a discusion in chat tonight over the adult size of gold nugget pl*cos...L177 to be exact

    here is a quote from planetcatfish.com

    Size: The adult size of L177 is unknown although it is likely to be the same as L18 / L85 which is around 12" - 14". Vires states that L81 is a smaller species and only reaches 7".

    So what do you guys recon?

  3. lol guys, thanks for your help :) I don't have anywhere near that amount of money at the moment anyway (no job ;) )

    so you guys recon a 4 footer is a minimum.......what about a large 3 foot (3'x18"x18")??

    I'm prob to lazy to have a marine tank anyway :lol: It was a thought i had for a while though.....maybe i'll try brackish first :)

  4. Hey guys, I'm just curious....on estimate, how much would it cost to set up a 3'x14x14 tank as a reef?

    I also hear that of you set it up right, you don't need a filter?

    so equipment reqired would be?

    tank/stand/hood

    Skimmer (brands? cost?

    powerheads (how many? what size?)

    Lights (what kind? how many watts? cost?)

    Live rock (how much? cost?)

    corals (estimated cost?)

    sand (cost?)

    fish/crustations?

    thanks guys (just considering ATM ;) )

  5. I don't like the look of the fish in critter kingdom personally :(

    I'm gonna say organism is all you need......prob closer than redwood, very clean and friendly and both Toby and John know heaps :)

    organism is on the corner of Islam and Clyde rd.......it's a green shop next to the fish and chip shop :lol:

  6. you tank is going through a totally normal phase called the cycle :) it sounds like amonia has gona and now you are going into the nitrIte phase :) when nitrAte shows, your tank is cycled.

    just keep up the water changes and you'll be fine :)

    The electric yellows will be happier in the higher pH anyway.

    I think the electric yellow will have been adjusted to normal PH at the LFS
