Oh, that makes sense.

I also have the problem in Winter. Is this normal?

Our sump water keeps evaporating meaning that our skimmer is never set at the right level. When the sump is filled the skimmer froths too high and overflows and after a day the water has evaporated to the extent that the level is too low for the froth to reach the top of the skimmer. I can never seem to set the skimmer froth to the right level as the next day I look and it needs adjusting which is a pain in the ass. The sump is 20L Does anyone else have this problem? Thanks

Hi guys, do the rocks look like they have a normal amount of algae in my awuarium as per attached photo? Seems excessive to me. These rocks used to be bright white!

That's what if love to do. Where would one get some X-rays to raise in a tank?

Arse.... It doesn't have a de-ioniser so will never get 0

Hello, I just bought a RO machine from Trademe and tested the water, it is 18ppm. Is this going to be ok to use or too high? Thanks

You are right guys, it's rubbish at lifting water. Any suggestions for a cheap silent pump?

Hi All, I'm using an internal pump which is noisy in our sump. Can I use an old external fresh water canister pump/filter instead as it's really quiet. I was going to remove all the internal filters, would this work do you think? Thanks

Are there any livestock which eat brown algae? Thanks

Hi, have a new tank cycled and have a couple of fish and coral. There seems to be a reasonable amount of growth on the inside glass of what looks like brown algae. Is this normal? How often do you have to clean the inside glass? Thanks

Thanks guys, I was hoping something like this would be ok: http://www.fish-street.com/coralbox_m1_ ... m_lighting I was hoping to spend about $350 Cheers

Hi all, Anyone able to advise on the best cost effective lights for a tank with coral? Tank is 200L 1m long I was thinking of getting an led one from fish-street.com but their descriptions are crap and I can't figure out which one I need. Thanks for any help.

Hi All, Any advice? I bought a couple of new corals for my newly cycled tank. but they are not opening. I got them yesterday. Any idea what I could start doing to find out what is wrong? Thanks

Thanks guys, maybe I'll chuck a dead shrimp in there to keep things going for a while.
