  1. how many fish? How many litres? What skimmer?
  2. Slow down on the feeding a bit and use NORI for the powder blue. They can survive on that if they have to. You need to get the mag and Ca levels up and the KH too. Chlorides plus baking soda will get them up in 2 days. Dont add any more fish or coral for at least 2 months. You need to let the Live rock build up its bacterial population first. Prodibio "Biodigest" will speed this up. PM Reef, he can tell you where to get some.

    bloody nora skippy..whats happening up there in mandarin land?
  4. Afetr all, I am the "Poo" man!!
  5. No, nothing went near them interestingly enough. I thought they would have scoffed them up. Maybe it was poo! :lol:
  6. They're gone already...over the overflow!! Way too small to catch! about twice the size of this full stop .
  7. The video shows two or three eggs slowly being ejected from the centre of a couple of Zoanthid polyps. Look at the polyp, (Dead centre screen), and then the polyp directly below and to the left a bit. You will also see eggs floating around in front of the lens afterwards. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ ... ure694.flv
  8. Thanking you Fay. Good to catch up again.
  9. Hows that monster skimmer dude?
  10. I've been spawned skuzz!!!
  11. I have just witness nature doing some pretty wonderful stuff. I came home to find my tank full of small white round beads approx .25mm in diameter floating all over the display. I panicked and thought something bad was happening. I regained control and used my little brain and thought.... Maybe weve got some spawning action going on here! I turned off my current to see if I could find the culprit and one species of Zoanthid was laying eggs!! There are three groups of this zoanthid in completely different positions and all three groups were doing it! I have video footage that will be up shortly! AWESOME!
  12. Steve, you gotta keep some of these things in your own head man.
  13. He didnt say "Well lets see my tank which is the best". He invited the others in to share. We all have proud moments, and if you dont, you're doing something wrong with your own tank!!

    baking soda

    Hey drifty, Been down that road. Kings is the best IMO. The house brand from Gilmours I looked at too, but if you read the label, it says it may contain traces of nuts etc. Not worth it IMO. KINGS FOR ME!!
  15. How many litres? how big was the xenia? how old is your tank?

    Ph

    I consume 5 superheaped tablespoons of bicarb per week. Drops from 12KH to 7KH. Suphew, you must have minimal growth if you dont test for KH.

    fish loss

    I have purchased approx 35 and lost 8 over two years to whitespot.
  18. Thanks Skippy, That must have taken awhile! Reef, I can fit the rest of the tank in, the damn pic ends up too small and loses definition.
  19. Update. 25% water change, cleaned the glass and WOW...Id got a bit slack on the housekeeping!! Added more SPS...and things are taking off.
  20. Where do i get all these icons from...i want a violin.
  21. never have an issue with heating I meant.
  22. No chiller..1400 litres..2 x 300 watt and 1 x 150 watt heaters. Never have an issue with cooling. My 1050 watts of metal hallides crank up the heat too much. I am running between 26 and 27.8 every day at the moment. Seems to be ok...I keep an eye on it. One day I'll get a controller I think!
