Nice one will do, cheers for the info guys much appreciated

not really buffering with chems, just gonna use the tank in the garage as a water storage, fill it with aragonite and coral/oyster shells and try and replicate water in my tank, wondering if the new water i put in when i do wc which has a different water chemistry is whats making the dubs colour all washed out all the time

22g is roughly 80L a min with a 25mm hose, don't think i need that much flow as i'm only changing 120-150L. So if i went with a 5000lph pump, with 20m of garden hose with an ID of 11mm do you think this will still work ok, or would it be to much strain on the pump, not to worried if it takes 10mins or so to refill. Was thinking bout something like this as it comes with a few adaptors for hose thickness http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =573056005

Scuse my ignorance guys but can i just bung a standard garden hose on the end of 1 of these things stick it in the tank and pump it out? so distance isn't as important as height as far as the lph of the pump, height is gonna be what slows it down, correct. By under size the hose do you mean diameter of hose, so the bigger the diameter the hose is, means the less work the pump has to do

nice one thanks Ira

Speed is not important really, i just assumed that the water needed to be pumped up a hill and the length it needed to travel would mean i need somthing pretty beefy. What would you recommend?

Hey guys need some help. I want to set up a water storage tank in my garage for water changes. I need a pond pump so i can pump the buffered water straight into my tank in the living room. The water will need to travel quite far at a guess 15-20m. Hose will need to go up about 6 steps as well as the garage sits lower than the main house. What sorta pond pump am i looking at, any recommendations? been looking on TM, is a pump with a 5000lph flow rate gonna cut it or will i need something gruntier, cheers guys

great shot, love the brownaes awesome colours

still looking at africans, welcome back by the way

Sorry can"t be of much help to you, haven't dealt with these guys before. Are these similar to the tropheops?

By no means an expert, but thats probably about it, at least what is commonly available. What are you after?

All good mate my reply wasn't heated and i apologise if it came across that way, that price still blows me away.

Would you say a $1650 is a good price for a 2m tank?

got the tank about 11/2 yrs ago, are you trying to tell me that the price of glass has gone up that much in 1 1/2 yrs, not even gold has gone up that much in price, there is a lot less gold lying around than spare sheets of glass.

$1650 for 1 tank, sorry but are you serious thats daylight robbery i got a 1.5m tank (granted its smaller) custom built with 12mm glass all over, for $350. This guys havin a laugh.
