A good place to collect NSW from in Tauranga is at sulphur point if you wanna try NSW

Yep have quite a few atm. Im in bellevue btw

The 2 main species are percula and occelaris the variety of each are: oceallaris: normal orange black snowflake (hard to find) Percula: normal Picasso (fancy) im breeding right now, hard to find onyx then there's clarkii, tomato, maroon, skunks and other species Ive breed normal orange ocellaris, but lost my breeding pair, and am waiting on my pair to breed. Im breeding black oceallaris and picasso perculas right now. and just relised you are in Tauranga too, pm me if you want to check them out

Whoops, meant sand :oops: agree with you matt

Tanks by far look more natural with bb, but we have found since having barebottom, that it is much easier to clean the deterious and crap that gets stuck on the bottom and breaks down. When you have a sand bed you dont see that stuff.

Thats the secret, we dont do anything

Well, chromis have laid on the side glass now, next to the firefish's homes, agro chromis + firefish isnt too good, but they are handling it Got a nice green gonipora from wonderworld yesterday and a random pic of the yellow polyps that arent dying anymore

Nope just going slow adding the fish, tank has been set up just over a month (sumps has had live rock for 2 years though) Plan to add more fish, but enjoying the lower bio load atm, less agression etc

No idea where to get coral rocks. If you have live rock, maybe 3 weeks until corals...?

After loosing all but 4 fish to a parasite in our 4ft tank and pulling it down, we have set it back up with the old corals and rock into a 1500l x 800w x 600h tank Lighting atm is 2 double sunlight t5's and a 109w LED unit. Mainly after growth atm pump is a wp-40 wave maker Skimmer is Deltec Ap-701, aswell as a NP bio pelltet reactor 5ft main sump with a refugium with small deepsand bed. Other end of sump has a deepsand bed and frags and corals on rocks. other part of system is a 3ft 180l frag tank. both coral tanks running 15ow halides. same sump/frag tank system as before, just double the display Stock list is: 2 of our own bred Ocellaris Clownfish 1 juvenile Desjardini sailfin tang 1 Red firefish 1 purple firefish 3 chromis 1 fireshrimp 1 40cm RBTA now some pics, fts pics are pretty bad sorry

most cases they wont jump if they are happy, something has to be disturbing them to make them jump imo

this was on trade me a little while ago i think?

looks nice, what's your plans for it?

Also, if you want any other triplefins, i could try get some for you, i see yaldwyns and spectacles often

*photographs by marinefish4ife* also caught
