  1. black percs would be called onyx and still have a little orange on them the completly black with white stripes are black occellaris, i've had my eye out for a year now but no luck. the black clowns that most people have will be black saddle back clowns (polymnus) they are alot bigger than percs and more territorial. shouldnt be hard to get a pair of marrons
  2. does anyone else have a durso that goes straight down from the hole in the tank into the sump?? i think this might be part of the problem
  3. it already is using the size bigger than the hole (hole is 25mm and the standpipe is 32mm)
  4. my durso seems to make a huge amount of bubbles, does anyone have any idea on how to cut that down???
  5. yip i plan on that as well. why is it them that people say they have pH problems when using calcium reactors.
  6. there are alot of people in the states making faux sandbeds out of diferent epoxys and sand i would rather just have a bit of sand
  7. thanks for that paul also there will be a dominant male as well from what i have read
  8. i thought that the pH can potentially go alot lower than is safe.
  9. I thought this was pretty cool http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=729167&perpage=25&pagenumber=1 he definatly did some good planning to fit everything under that tank
  10. First Question is what method do you use to keep the pH stable I know alot of people drip kalk top off water at night, do those of you that use this method use a timer on a pump ect??? just trying to figure out the easiest method of control and topoff.
  11. i would never consider that a good options for the tank or myself, i guess some people would do it so that people will think they are cool. i have nothing against deep/big tanks but whats wrong with a stick or making a really big pair of tongs :roll:
  12. that first pinacle rock that sticks out is beautifull, something i'd like to mimic
  13. should look nice once its cleaned up
  14. first progress is that ideal electrical in hamilton deal in EYE lighting products (ie they can get what i want) so price will now be the issue and also the housing for the bulb which needs to look stylish for the wife ( not like my current ghetto setup)
  15. dont worry the rest of us are usually confused
  16. wel you've obviously got the internet still so there is plenty of information on her already. i suggest a specific search in the saltwater forum with the key work cycle or new tank etc
  17. the TOTM and that tank are definatly different
  18. that is a very general question, i suggest doing some reasearch on cycling in marine tanks etc there are a few posts on here and many articles and resources easily accessible via google
  19. http://www.eyelighting.com/colorhid.html the par36 is what ill be aiming to find
  20. so any way im going to have a harder look at what is available, has anyone had a search before??
  21. does the filter cartridge help with noise or only mech filtering?
  22. you might find this forum usefull as advice and information will apply to you as it comes from locals http://www.fishkeeping.co.uk/ you wouldnt go to wellington to ask for directions for auckland would you?
  23. I'm sure he is, its probably that he spent so much time typing that all out that he thought that he'd get some props for doing it
