gloss spray paint, nice and easy

most of the rock you buy will have some fairly nasty stuff in it any way so you dont really need anything else, some people will chuck in a mussel or something to kick it off

caulerpa in general or specific species? i remember reading that it wasnt a good idea to have caulerpa close to sps

not sure, its not growing to fast so i thought that is would be something else, i was just checking out some pics on the net and some of the macros are really nice, its a shame more people dont use them in their displays

maybe i could con my wife into doing if it was a pink one

ive got someone holding some that looks like palm fronds for me but havent added any to my tank yet

i'd be more than keen for some

blue red or green? ill give them a rinse in some of the old tank water bfore moving them over

i still think ill get a heap of transfer

when using the flat worm exit i used some nasty carbon that released alot of dust into my tank (even after a really good rinse) it now coats all my rocks and when it lands on various acros/montis it causes tissue necrosis very quickly. now im planning on moving every thing into the sump for my new tank while i wait for every thing to be setup. but i dont want this nasty stuff to carry over into my new system, i did a water change last night and tried syphoning it off but it didnt want to come off (caked on) so how do i get rid of it with out scrapping all my rock and starting again

there are a few threads that have discussed this in depth, have a search for them

always a good idea to support the whole base of the tank, try your local building suppier to see if they have some of cuts of ply, itm has some really good ones here in the tron

i guess thats one draw back of such a large tank ill be following you progress chimera, make sure to get lots of before shots

the main thing you need is a suitible food source (rotifers) some people have them it just a matter of how easily they will part with a culture for you. best place for help with breeding marines is the breeding section on reefcentral.com where abouts are you macca?

can someone else put a pen up to their clown's line of sight and see what happens?

no browns and greens where there should be orange???? i thought that you where colour blind

thanks what color does it all look????

yeah but wouldnt fit on my desk

you dont have to do any thing that i did, i was just saying howmuch it would cost someone to set it up. does anyone else have a clown fish that is afraid of pens???

:-? thats kindof funny

forgot the 20$ for the holes to be drilled and the 8$ for the spraypaint

you should be buying your saltmix from murray. (probably the same price as brian but at least murrays got corals for us) i forgot the heater:D big is easier and doesnt cost all that much more,

lets start from the ground up fluval 304: 200$ plumbing parts: 100$ via aqua panorama tank: 60$ Boyu light: 40$ 50/50 tube: 30$ sand:10$ rock: 20$ saltmix 20$ water: priceless clown fish:70$ fungia: 70$ frags from maintank free blasto's goodluck finding them acan: 30$ all up??? 650$

the red blasto is now the reluctant host to the clown. good to see the clowns hosting behaviour again but not soo good that hes frustrating the blasto

im sure your right lduncan. i want a nice black perc to pair with my normal one
