Hi All, I was wondering what is involved in cultivating mushrooms. I have really nice red mushrooms and I have heard that the LFS does not always sell these. What do I have to do to make them multiply. Either in the tank or a seperate tank. Genuine help much appreciated.

I have had the unfortunate privilege to have been advised on livestock and equipment that was not suited for my needs or my system. Needless to say how I feel about that!

Awesome display. You have deffinately given me a few ideas with my layout that I will be changing this weekend.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of using Carbon in a reef tank?

Hi All, I had a blond moment. I was actually on about ARCADIA T5 LIGHTS. And ideas, tips or opinions about this brand and type???

Hi all, sorry about the previous typo. This is the lighting that I'm thinking of buying. Any thoughts or tips?

Hi All, Need your views again. I am looking at buying the above mentioned lighting for my tank (2 whites & 2 Blues). Any thoughts about this brand or type of lighting.

Hi All, I know that I'm asking loads of questions to you all, but this is going to be the only way that I start to get things right. I got advice that I should use water from Takapuna Boat Ramp to replace some of the water in my tank. What's you views on this issue.

the algea that I tend to see is not hair algea though. It normally sticks to the glass and varies from a green to red color.

I have been very lucky during my setup. My Nitrite and ammonia has been 0 for the last 3 months. Nitrate is on 20, salinity is on 21-22, ph is constant at 8.2-8.4. I started adding calcium about 1 1/2 months ago when I got my first coral and coral food aswell. My bubble seems to have shrunk a little bit and I would like your advice on feeding. What else can I give my tang and coral beauty to graze on. I have been providing brocoli once a week and they chow it down in about 2 days.

Hi All, I have the following setup: 30Gal Tank (900x250x500) Glass Eheim Classic Filter (2213) Protein Skimmer 201 Powerhead Aqua One 36” light (One blue & 1 White tube) Livestock Coral Beauty Yellow Tang Bi-color blenny Occilarus Clown Fish Cleaner Shrimp Green Stap Polyp Bubble Coral I have had the tank for about 4 ½ months now. The fish were added about 4 weeks ago. I had a white anemone for the clown, but unfortunately the thing got into the powerhead the I have. The retailer never told me about the protection that I need to add. I have noticed in the past 2 weeks that I have some algae growing again. I will be changing the fine sponge in the filter this evening. Any other ideas???? Help with all the livestock will be highly appreciated. The more I can learn the better.
