chimera

i wouldnt recommend it at all. my last hydrometer was 0.003 out. salinity is very important to keep right. take for example scatman's tank (no offense to him here, he didnt have a refractometer at the time) He was having problems with corals dying - I checked his salinity with my refractometer it was 1.031, corals getting burnt! this is probably more important on a smaller tank than larger, if you dont get your topup right then salinity can swing more (yeah yeah, more evaporation on larger tanks but still the proportion is greater on smaller tanks!) this is not something you want to cut corners on, especially if you are investing money on nice corals, then be smart and invest the money on the right equipment to test water parameters. that includes quality test kits like salifert too!!! you can have my old inaccurate one!!! :lol:

i think you'd be better of going to the doc

the wife would have my balls on a plate...!

wont be long til ya sand changes colour the more i see minimal LR, the more i like it. need a bigger tank....

nothing is gauranteed, copperbands would be on top of the unlikely list. as brian says, joes juice is the bomb, nukes them really good. others use kalk paste (cheaper) just dont use the salifert one its crap.

:lol: probably my blue tang, guesstimate about 5 years old.

no way dude, if i was that worried about it i wouldnt have posted it glad you won, enjoy! i was only testing ya in the auction!!!

hahaaa, how badly do you want it?!!! it's yours he has a lot more where that came from, but thats the best specimen imo from his listings... http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/show ... ber=772197

yeah, 2 x 14k's - awesome bang for buck (not literally!!!). ever since the 150's went in i definately have noticed sps colours are coming out more (assisted by zeovit and lowering of the lights of course ) the 14k's are an awesome blue (but not oversaturated which i like) now i just cant wait to get the t5's are wired up!

:roll: again, why i posted "DE Lighting" is the company - NOT as in "double ended" bulbs

DE lighting is the company

got a pic?

yeah keen as brian pm me a price on them if ya could. cheers mate.

dont see why not. they can split more than once! this is the type i bought off wasp over a year ago, keeps the clowns happy!

sure do, I need 4 @ 4ft. not sure if its worth it adding shipping costs on from singapore though. pm me a price inclusive of shipping, if there are enough people wanting the same it maybe cost effective. DiverJohn, your commercial post says: 4ft Reflector $ 15.45 Polished Reflectors. 4foot $65+GST so that's $50+ just for polishing???

no, but they can reproduce by splitting

you'd be better off going shopping at pies or stevea's house

no where in wellington :lol:

I enquired through a friend at a scientific supplies company about phosphate test kits and what they sell to labs etc, outside of the test kits and colorimeters that we use. Here is his reply...

more like a challenge!

yet another myth.

nice! real nice!
