What sort of money am i looking at now? to setup a sump i mean? Shae 250

I'd be very interested in buying some off you? Shae 250

The 130l is an old 3 foot, that i patched up after if got a couple of big cracks in it. have been useing it for a little while but, just decided i didnt trust it that much, so decomisioned it. I have killies in the 100l now, so will have to use the 60l. I could get it started this weekend, if i manage to get the beach? Shae 250

Welcome to the site. (dont expect us to say ozzy ozzy ozzy oy oy oy) we can come up with better chants, but then what can ya expect form australians Shae 250

Flourish is good, but if you have fish in the tank they will be providing food for the Amazon sword. Shae 250

Your kidding right? Shae 250

I no what you mean know Ira, saw some red parrot cichlids the other day, i dunno what i was thinking!! there horrible little things! Shae 250

hmmm.... what about a 60l for the nano-reef, and a 130l for a sump? Shae 250

From my knowlege, white fluros dont help very much?they cause alot of algae growth and deterioration of plants. Its the the pink UV's that are the best. they promote algae, and plants grow like mad with them. Shae 250

If it wernt tonight i would have loved to come along, when is the next meeting? Shae 250

im very serious, and maintenance is not a problem, would love to come chat. at this point in time im thinking more like some cool shrimp, corals, mushrooms, anenomes, worms, pritty much anything just not fish. ill need to put this on hold for a week now, just had a load of killies arrive, and have taken up tanks space. as soon as i sell my Breeding pair of Blue Ram i will be starting, there my only hold up right now. Shae 250

didnt quite understand that, im not up with the saltwater forum lingo? I didnt realise that i could just take water from the sea?? shows how much i no on the subject :roll: agreed fish is a long way down the track. heres a guy i was talking who has a 2 foot marine tank running succesfully http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=44477 this guys 2 foot is impressive! http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=44477 Shae 250

Starting your own nano-reef

lol Shae 250

Alright, i didnt think it was fair, to take up ben's post, plus it was on a totally different subject, so ive started my own. I have a few times recently, thought about starting a marine tank, but have not really got the help needed. nevertheless i have done a bit of research, and then thanks to Mark came across http://www.nano-reef.com, the poeple there have been extremly helpful, some even have similiar set ups, as what i would like. This is what i have : i can either use a 60l or 100l tank each are not set up but have all the gear to set them up, heater, filter lights. now there is some stuff i dont understand, how and what is a skimmer and would i need one, because the people at nano-reef suggest that all i need is a powerhead, heater, live sand and live corals rocks etc for natural filteration, the powerhead woud be for circulation. I think this is too simple it must be alot more complicated! I would like to start just with live plants (corals etc) before i even think of fish. What else do i need to purchase? I relise that with a smaller Reef tank, the maintenince is higher, but that is no problem for me, i am more than happy to put in alot of work continously, if it means i can have my own nano-reef. Where do i get the Instant salt solutions from? I think i might have seen something like this at hutt pet centre? What sort of costs am i looking at? also what would be cheap, hardy, starter fish to get? Cheers Shae 250

I asked if he could come to the kapi-man club meeting tonight to mark, but hes a very busy man. interesting Cees, not so sure that some of us have enough time let alone a big enough bladder to use that thoery very often Cheers Shae 250

Its already been mentioned in "2 hot 2 handle" Shae 250

That look ugly to me, compared to my fish, its a shame that most personalty fish are either ugly, or get too big or both, id love a Red Devil even though they are ugly, i just dont have space for a personalty fish! "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" (i think there ugly, you think they arnt) Shae 250

hmm...........same night as the kapi-mana meeting?? Shae 250

Yup thats the one, its seems quite a character, was raceing round the tank at full speed and then would stop just as fast on a rock, or coral or sumthing and start steering at me, but it was like he was walking on his fins?? he kept useing his fins to change postions on the rock, and get a different angel of the ppl loking at him/her? what sort of temperment do they have? could they e kept in a small reef tank? Shae 250

yeah, its a shame they get so UGLY! Shae 250

I love your firehawk, thats such a character fish! i think thats what its called?? Shae 250

lol ive never checked or had my water checked, just never had a problem so assuming there fine in it! Shae 250

Oh i share in the agrrivation aswell! Shae 250

Yeah i checked it out too, but the only ones that look flurod like that, are what this perons call the german blue diamond, or something like that. from what i have seen there are some very nice strains on there, just not like those. Shae 250
