  4. Drifty's Blue tang in the above picture...... This fish is absolutely amazing.....HUGE and Extremely healthy. One of the best fish I have seen anywhere. A must see.... Remember I am a keen buyer Drifty!!!!
  5. Youre right Wasp....Incedible. That is form what I can gather.... "Seachem Reef builder" (Contains strontium) Strontium increases Coralline growth. or the flouros...... Not sure but very interesting.
  6. The young daughter awoke at 6.30, and woke me up.
  7. The multi is overkill for your tank slappers......and too ^%$#% expensive! You are more than welcome to view my streams in operation.
  8. www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-10/eb/index.php Great read.
  9. All you will need is a single controller with a 6000 lph stream....(6100) As Layton said....talk to Reef.... He has some in stock from what I remember. Around $4-500. (Maybe a touch more, cant remember). I am running one of these plus a fixed 8000LPH, but my tank is twice your length and wider. One single controller will be heaps.
  10. Tunze make "Streams"....they are great. Can get you some if needed.

    RO top up.

    Hey Chim...why dont you just throw a big V8 in there too. Im sure you will find a use for it!

    RO top up.

    That is incorrect. Anthony Preston supplies units that turn on and off when required. They are based in Howick.

    Fluid master cistern valve. however you need an electric auto shut off for RO. makes it easy!

    VODKA

    If you notice this, then you dont actually need the caulerpa because the vodka is doing a better job of nutrient export than the caulerpa. Unless you like it and want some!!
  22. My theory on how Vodka works: (Please tell me if you know different)! To remove nutrients, the tank requires bacteria as one form of filtration. In normal conditions a tank runs a certain amount of bacteria quantities in balance with bioload waste being produced. If one wants to create more bacteria to breeak down every last bit, how would that be done? There are only two ways I can think of it as. 1: Add more food, this in turn will create food for the bacteria allowing them to reproduce moire numbers. The problem is with more food, you get more nutrients, which in turn will allow a build up of Phosphate and Nitrate etc over a short period of time. This build up is from the nutrients in the food. Vodka doesnt have any. VODKA. Dosing vodka allows one to add PURE food for the bacteria. Vodka, (Alcohol) is a pure carbon food source which gets gobbled by the bacteria which allows multiplication. There is no nutrient level in vodka because is is so clean, therefore no extra nutrients added. Voila! You have just successfully boosted bacteria and nothing else. (This is my theory). Any one else????
  23. Above. Exactly the same for swimming pools. You need heaps of buffer otherwise the ph can swing more easy causing sore eyes etc. Remember I dont use a Reactor, and I only dose weekly with MG, Ca and Bicarb. By the end of the week my KH is down to 8 or 9. If I didnt run at 11 or 12 it would be too low by the end of the week.
