  1. Completed my sump box. lights running opposite hours to Main display. still cycling...... This is on the SOUTH side of the unlandscaped portion of the house. I Will landscape around it!!
  2. A good sized skimmer will almost skim it overnight.
  3. Brianemone...Nah, they were just Italian....thats about it...wouldnt really care if they were made in cambodia.......they'd probably be quite light actually too!!!! Ya know.....cambodia....skinny people...light....... :-?
  4. Nothing, special, same bulbs as i am running now...just an Italian ballast unit......And 150 watts gruntier! Real good price. Venture bulbs.
  5. They are the best in the world, and I am Italian...... Nothing beats italian..........so there!!! :lol:
  6. I gotta say more...... Mmmm......
  7. Mate....FERRARI.... Say no more..... :lol:
  8. not for a couple of weeks.... Just ordered my two Italian 400w MH blues. Will be awesome!
  9. Got the bugger last night, forgot to take a pic...was too hasty to get him in the sump....Looks exactly like the one in the latest thread about crabs except a touch whiter in colour.
  10. My advice would be to see other peoples tanks and follow the one you like best, before you start spending money on an expensive setup you may not want.
  11. That is for freshwater isnt it?
  12. I just removed one exactly the same just last night...been trying for about a week after reading a thred by WESTY. He HAS been eating the tips off two of my best Acros.....He is now in the sump for some time out! I had to pull half the god damn reef apart to get him.
  13. oh!...Nah its been ok up here!! (I think...I cant bloody remember...been too busy, I thought it was sunny today)!!!
  14. sun.....??and the problem...apart from algae is? what? it is only temp. til i finis the box...... am i missing something here?
  15. still better to feed the bacteria with something, rather than nothing.... Just how I like to do things....each to their own eh?
  16. Brian...will draw pick when i get some time!!
  17. i still prefer to have a constant source of poo. This rock was only 4 days out of an established system, so was pretty clean. The ammonia is gone already and the nitrobacter is half way kicked in. I still need to feed the ammonia.
  18. he poos for me! and the Nitrosomonas eats it up....you should know that Reef. Keeps the biological system turning.
  19. Added Microlene filter today, which feeds automatic leveling system for evaporation. Also added yellow belly damsel into tank to assist cycling. Tank is in full sun all day, so will be very natural to the fish! Granite slab for display tank should be ready by saturday. Sump is fully covered, so evaporation will be minimal. once connected to display, things will change!

    Be careful with ozone. Very powerful antibacterial cleanser. Dosed wrong and all your inhabitants will be fried. It is as powerful as chlorine. Good luck and hope it does the job you're after. Can I ask the reason you are using it?
