has anyone shipped from living reef before? Just wondering how long my nano will take to get to tauranga! haha

In about 8 weeks when I am confident my 51L nano will have cycled, I would love to add a pair of clownfish. There are so many types on the internet... So hard to find online though? Trademe only has the black and white...which are cool, but are there any others out there? Are there some breeders on here?

Ahhh tha is exactly what I will do then! Haha it not that I'm against making one, I like to think of myself as a creative person haha, it's more this is getting expensive and I don't want to stuff it up and have to try two or three times haha If you pm I would REALLY appreciate if you could give it a go to make another one? Would be very appreciative!

Yes that is the same with me! It was all about the coral colours haha Do you know I can buy egg crate if I end up having to make that filter tray thing myself?

nice. Hey what kinda of fish do you think would go alright and what type of corals would look good? Im totally unsure as to both! And Im having a hard time finding fish that are both a) allowed in NZ b) actually available in nZ. haha

Oh that sounds good aye. sorry ordered from reefsmart or from si_sphinx??

I have just pm'd him asking if I could commission him to make one haha No idea how to use/cut/glue perspex! Which I assume it is? lol So get some Seachem Purigen on the top, activated carbon in the middle (Does this need to be replaced or is it permanent?) , and use my aragonite rubble for the bottom chamber. the middle section will have the skimmer, and third will house powerhead and heater? Correct? When it all arrives will be able to see how it goes a lot easier! Courier just isn't fast enough.... has anyone ordered from reefsmart.co.nz before? What are the waiting times like?

oh ok, so as far as the new filter in the back goes, how would you set it up? Will get some purigen and put that in a bag and in the back compartment?

Ah yes I will definitely be getting the marinium! good reviews online about it, so may as well give it a go! Purigen, is this necessary? I have canisters on my cichlid tank, do i not just set up the back similar? Will look into the Salifert test kit! I heard good things about API being a brand around a long time, interesting you don't recommend their reef test kit?

here is the skimmer! http://www.ebay.com/itm/300948435707?ss ... 1497.l2649 you mean move the "comb" part up the top, and fill in the lower parts of the comb so water has to rise up high? AS far as egg crate, what do you mean to make the filter better? Yes I plan on using lids, to avoid too much water evaporation. Would you suggest?

I will be uploading photos as it goes, and updating all the crap I end up having to buy and how much they cost incase anyone else is thinking of making one! I know there are a few "Watch my nano" progress forums, but one more can't hurt! Today I have ordered the following! AquaNano 51L - $199 incl. shipping Aquaone 25w Heater (included) Filter (included )- does anyone know the size? I think 500L/hour? KM300 Nano-Skimmer $38.81 incl. shipping API Master Reef testkit - $54.97 incl. shipping 4000L/hour wave maker $21.17 incl. shipping 50w LED Coral grow light- $135.07 incl. shipping STILL TO BUY Seachem Phytoplankton - $32.00 + shipping Red Sea Aiptasia X -$24.90 + shipping Red Sea NO3/PO4 X - $24.90 + shipping Reef Foundation C - $19.90 + shipping Reef Foundation A - $19.90 + shipping Refractometer - $43.45 incl. shipping RO Water- Dew from Countdown 10L $7.99 Purigen-$25 + shipping Media rack- $xx Reef Salt - $unsure- can anyone help me out here? Live Rock- $unsure- can anyone help me out here? ALL help is appreciated, even it contradicts what I have written above.... I have no problem learning from mistakes! Planning on having 1 yellow goby, 2 peppermint shrimp, 1 Royal gramma and 1 Clown Goby green, among some spa and soft corals

Just a quick post to find some opinions

excellent. Now i buy pure dew from countdown as my RI water, what salt to I add?

so would be good for sps/lps and soft corals?!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Full-Spectrum-a ... 23365c8fc6 Just wondering if a light specialist, or someone with higher knowledge than me can help! Will this light support coral growth in a 40cmx40cmx40cm 51 L nano cube??

ur pics arent loading?!

like zoos and mushrooms? hammerhead? sorry new to reef and wanna copy what you have done

curious.... does your light support reef growth???

Oh really! What about a small skimmer?! Does the heater come with it?

Hey guys, I made a post a few months ago, about joining the marine club in the way of a dymax IQ5 and many people said not to bother, but to get a 200L minimum as it would be easier. Well, I am up for a challenge, so with respect, as I am asking for advice here, what is required when starting a reef tank. In terms of- test kits, Ro/Di what is this?, water treatments, dymax heaters/skimmers/refugium? It is not a if anymore, it is a soon thing and I really would love to have a coral and invertebrate IQ5 as I downsize and sell my 125L grow out. Can't wait for some replies!

haha it did sound weird to me aye. does ryanjury still have demasoni and doing mean deals?

DUDE. that is awesome. if it wasn't a shed, i would steal it !

nice mate!

Ok so I have separated it into two little kingdoms for them! They are out and about now... but that is because they are nosey little beggars. Hopefully they stay out! Will get another 3 coral rocks for the left hand side kingdom to make it a bit higher, and will look into buying 12 Demasoni. Will pass on the idea of getting more haps. Hopefully this settles down whoever was terrorising the rest into submission and hiding. On another note, I have painted my background black as I like the contrast- but was told by LFS it puts them into hibernation mode? Is this bollocks or truth?

I just need to find out who the aggressive fish is! They are defiantly hiding all the time and it sucks! Spent so much money to stare at a bucket of water! dimensions are 1200x480x450- Running Aquaone 1200 and Aquaone1250 canisters. see these links for my rock layout: http://i859.photobucket.com/albums/ab15 ... 917fd4.jpg http://i859.photobucket.com/albums/ab15 ... 6b77af.jpg The only thing with adding demasoni - is aren't they super aggressive and will hunt my peacocks even more? I also hear cobalt blues are quite aggressive? If I sold 15 Yellows, and got 12 demasoni +3 fryeri it could be better? I realllllly want dolphins but fryeri could do the trick!
