do you have an anemone in the tank, my maroons are only really aggressive when they have one.

Fay, is the photo on the last page of the front section of the herald yours?? nice one if it is

I use 70-80 liter rubbishn bins from payless plastics, only cost around $40 and you can keep all your water

wow thats pretty cool

looks cool

wow, I think your tanks look great, well done

I use randy's 2 part with a dual dosing pump, I am pretty happy with it and dont do any maintenance on it at all ecxept for make the chemicals every 6-8 months. My brother doses the same a cracker manually 1-2 times per week. I tried this but noticed some bad reactions in my corals so prefer using the dosing pump

:evil: thats twice this year, must remember to buy HEAPS more when it comes back in stock

Anyone know where you can buy some in auckland?? HFF amd Jansens have none

Layton, do any of the units you have mentioned have bulbs which are available in NZ or do they all need to be purchased from overseas

what is an approx monthly cost for a 1000l tank then?

I have a tunze top-off, well worth the price

when you sort your probs out chimera I have some pink monti, green scrolling monti and some zenia frags you are more than welcome too just let me know

looks really good, he has good growth and really nice colours. Must get him to post some photos

my bro will look after some frags for u also he is just up the road from u in orewa

wow thats amazing

I have xenia in both my main tank and my sump, the lighting is both t5 in both tanks and yet the xenia in my sump pulses like crazy and the one in the main tank doesnt. Also the growth rates are a lot quicker in my sump

looks great, u made heaps more room for your corals to grow

looks very nice, like the blue starfish

I have heaps of kalk that u are more than welcome to come and take

is it possible the new lights are too much or the photo period is too much for your corals. Could the change in the way u administer your carbon have cleaned the water up too much and the corals cant handle that much light

thats the problem with this hobby, even when your tank looks great people are always trying to get that little bit more, usualy ends up messing the tank up.

what are the bulb replacement costs on those ones petplanet

even with a qt tank what is going to stop a pb getting white spot once its moved again. The only time I have had any parasites that were noticable on my fish was after moving them, my blue tang has moved 3 times and has broken out each time. soory about your loss

not sure but I have had one of each for 5 years
