i have one small tank in the room, its dead quiet though

howdy i have a four foot tank and i now have a filter for it and i would like to set it up as a nice planted tank. i have been thinking that discus would look good and have babies (maybe) that way i can reclaim the cost of everything ( :lol: ) anyone have some suggestions of what might be good in a 4x2x2?? other than discus, i am really getting into breeding and such so somethink that i could breed would be ideal

looking good

the only real price difference between a four foot and a 50l is the tank its self and the lighting and maybe a little more for watermovement gadgets, either way you would idealy want a good skimmer, a sump is a good idea regardless of the size of the main tank

good luck for next time

nice rbtax 2 i'd give you 120 no worries any ideas about what triggered your split??

stink

hmmm wasp i'm glad you understood, pies you should relax alittle, im not trying to be negative and your statement about no actinics or streams is exactly what i meant by my stupid response. so thank you for continuing it.

never seen a skimmer in the ocean, but then again my diving experiance's are limited to NZ

i know that garlic does a few things to me :-? doesnt stop me eating it though

you might find youll want more later on, but its a good start

hows its appitite??

i just got test pots from resene, acrylic paint, works well

does it work well? looks like a fairly simple design (the simpler the better imo)

any red bubble tips coming in soon reef??

how does yours work skuzza?

150W is enough but it depends on how high your have it mine is doing really well under 150w but its only about 15cm from the water surface (due to it being a small tank) i still dont know what kind of anemone it is, i would think a Bubble tip is a good starting anemone if you can give it the right water quality, they have lower light requirements than other anemones, but from what ive read most anemone dont survive the first year (due to begginers buying them and not doing the reasearch)

looking good skuzza ill have to visit next time im in rotovegas

id call it refreshingly blue (nice and clean) not sickly

fantastico the new bulb is awesome makes that tank look 20k times better

to sum up what a sump does water goes in from the main tank (via overflow) you put all your stuff in that you dont want in your tank (heater, skimmer) the water then gets muped back into tank (via a pump )

i lost both cleaner shrimps overnight, thought one of the clowns had bitten the dust to but i just saw it swimming in the rocks now to reaquascape and set up the light p.s and to any of you guys that have moved your big tanks recently (pies and iduncan) i dont know how you did it

if their drill press has a bench that they cant unattach then they would need to take off the panel

i agree the tank is the cheap part usually

nope, propped it up on barrels, the front did get scratched though cause the guy didnt put down a towel.
