Thanks to Aaron for stand (Duke) this has been in my garage for a few months now and finaly a couple of weeks ago I move the existing 4 ft tank into garage and started getting things sorted . Need to drill holes in floor for sump in garage . If you can see were I've removed sand on second picture thats were the reefs will be built.

Thanks Pies . Anyone been to north fiji Vanu Levu for diveing and snokeling ?

Pies were did you stay when you went u to Santos did you stay on Santos itself or did you stay at on of the small island resort Bokisser or Aore. The thing I’m looking for is a family destination that has good beaches for kids and places were they can snorkel. (15, 13, 8 years old) but would like to do some diving as well

I know there are some keen divers out there what good dve and snokel sites are in the south Pacific and what corals are found at these sites.

Here is a green bubble

this might give rough idea of what I'm trying to do , then stack live rock to hide pipes . I need to know if I can use clay pipes or if they need glazing . http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/ ... titled.bmp

yellow tang

those dead coral plates round and quite thick and heavy I had a look at one at Holliwood about 8 kilos

I need it to hold three plates of coral at thee different heights I could do it with coral rock but it would take a lot of rock and I was going to try and hide the pipes by stacking live rock around them. I would need a strong pvc structure to hold plates in place.

Does anyone know if you can use clay pipes to support coral structure or does the clay have to be glazzed ?

When I do normal water change I just turn off heater drain sump , refill sump and turn on heater till water is correct temp , in winter add second heater to speed up. When back to temp turn on return pump works well and cleans out crap from sump.

I vacuum most of gravel every two to three months but only 1-2 cm deep stir it in buckets and return to tank.

I've got 4 20 liter containers I think high tide is around 8 ish tonight but do'nt collect from Beachlands use Maraeti wharf (there has been a lot of algie polluting local beaches. )

4 should be fine .

Do not Keep a anemone with only two tubes they require more light than this . Fish and shrimps fine .

I have an 32mm overflow pipe in my tank to return water to sump (no overflow just pipe) it has 45 degree bend inside at top of tank to take water out then 45 degree bend to take water down under tank. There is a split to two pipes under tank both with taps one for skimmer and the other to return water to sump . Any one know of any way to cut down gurgling.

try a cleaner shrimp they are good at keeping tangs white spot free
