  1. Layton, Very nice fish... if only I had the room, it is a stunner. What do you think? Room for one more large tang? 800L tank.... I was only going to add small fish as I have all the large fish I THOUGHT I needed..... oh just one more. Blue Tang Yellow Tang Powder Blue tang Pair of Tomato Clowns Nigger Trigger 3 Cromas Banggai Cardinal soon to add 7 Blue eyed cardinals Want to add Madiran Royal Gamma
  2. I added my Powder blue last and yes very aggresive and you want a good stable tank, things like temp swings can bring on white spot and thats a pain. Mine had WS but got over it and is doing really well. I would recommend a Blue tang as they are good hardy fish.
  3. Good luck... I'm not moving know so all is good. So so pleased
  4. Do you mean viniger? If so what ratio? I would assume stright viniger over night and scrub? thanks
  5. My streem is alarm is going, the shaft does not turn freely. Are these easy to service? Can they be pulled apart?

    Moon light

    I made a moon light setup today took 15min. This site tells all and is easy to follow. I have never made any thing like this and followed the post and WOW it worked. http://thereeftank.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23890 how to. Uesd two of these.. http://www.dse.co.nz/cgi-bin/dse.storef ... View/Z4230 Had too turn them down as the are too bright. $17 whole setup
  8. joe juice good stuff.Sodium Hydroxide ... scary stuff, killed some coral with this stuff little bubbles servived and contacted my coral when starting the main pump say goodbye coral. >>>>( sodium hydroxide to be a lot more effective but you have to be FAR MORE careful because it nukes anything and everything it touches) Not worth the risk... I have some ... welcome to get it... Joes Juice even if you have to use it three time to kill the pest. And some times you have too. Not a miricle cure. Sodium Hydroxide ... like a small nuke...
  9. Very true cracker... waiting waiting. thanks
  10. Must say I don't like it...... thanks i'll keep dosing Vodka.
  11. I would not expect the change in salt levels to cause this problem. 1.023 - 1.025 is not much of a swing really. Might be old age, how long have you had it? How long do they live?
  12. I have done a water test KH8 1.025 480 CA 1350 Mg 0 PO4 (0 - 0.25) looks closr to 0 The air bubbles are in black stuff - not a lot but you can see the black.
  13. I have lots of air bubbles in my sand. Any ideas? I am only dosing vodka daily at 1ml / 100l Am also using Biotim and Bio Digest nothing else. I still have green slime but it is less than before. thanks for comments

    New toys

    Interesting... some one should buy one and tell us all if it any good. Would like to see a picture of one installed in to a tank.
  15. I'll be doing a simular thing when our house sells... never again. Good luck.
  16. Welcome to New Zealand. I only kow the shops in Auckland and they are both very good. Jensans and Holywood Fish Farm. Aiptasia .... yes they are a problem. There is a product call Joes Juice which works well. You inject them and good bye. I killed heaps in one go and did not have any issuies. The reef community (one this site) is very good and we all know each other and help when required. http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/do-you ... 1c05bbeb9f Is a link to a page on this site which shows many of our tanks. Give it a go.... well worth the results.
  17. Looking good. How is the trigger going? Looks cool.
  18. If you want to see your coarl Banded shrimp then get a moon light. I don't have one but do have a ceiling light above my tank which I turn on some time after lights out which allows me to veiw him well. Also I never have had a problem with a Coarl B shrimp and recommend them.
  19. 150 - 200L every month. I have been thinking of doing smaller water changes weekly but seems a pain in the arse.

    sea water

    I have just done a NSW water change and for the first time thinned it down after reading this post a day ago.... must do the right thing. Ah but the truth comes out that most people just pour NSW stright in.... I have alway just added NSW as is. Never had a problem.
  21. Well ... would you start a saltwater tank after reading this? I would have said... "what does he know... the guy at the LFS said I only need these lights and this pump and I can have a tank like the have on display" Looking back it is sooooo true.
  22. Come on the rest of you ... it would be good to have a post with everones pictures on it.
  23. I'm shocked.... but that is nature. Sorry for the loss I would be a little mad but what can you do? We all love the clown- anemone relashionship and many try and try to have this. Your anemone loves it home and wanted a good feed. Hope it doesn't have the taste for fresh fish whats next?
  24. 750L plus sump- Sump etc under house.
