ok I have noticed that the water level is getting a little low now I know that you can't add more salt water and supposed to use fresh water but I don't have a RO unit and was wondering if there is any brand of bottled water that I could get from the supermarket to use for topping up?
I don't think that East Rd sells RO water by the ltr so was wondering what other options I have.
Cheers
:bounce:
Countdown/Foodtown sell stuff called "Pure Dew" from memory (if it's on the shelves :lol: ) which used to work well for me for topup.

Don't put the copper coins in your tank, k? :lol:

or dip the flake in a bowl of water, then tip the lot into the tank

Clowns do that.. .they tend to host in anything - powerheads, skimmer intakes, xenia, leathers, etc...

What does sand do?
Looks nice
Do you need it?
Probably not
Do you want it?
Up to you
or.. you can go and read about DSB's, and make your choice about them as well. If it's just a thin layer on the bottom however, it won't act as one anyway.

This thread is going places :lol:
My deltec was noisy, however the silencing bits that i got sent for it sorted that pretty much. I haven't tried a red sea, so can't speak for it however.

Good point, I stand corrected

Yeah, popping is bad
Getting them off isn't too hard however

I'm stunned this has made it to page 8 without anyone throwing their toys too far :lol:
It's been a great read too

yes you do
Spoken like a true plumbing fan
I run a 400L tank with no sump, I think wasp runs a similar size.. we both run a Deltec MCE600 hang on back skimmer with good results.
Anything much smaller tank-size-wise however I would go with the sump recommendation.

Mine goes in cold

Just out of interest, I have been experimenting with Pure Dew on my tank for topoff as opposed to tap water. - I worked out given I'm thinking of going overseas next year that it was cheaper to buy water than a RODI unit
Anyway... It tests zero for phosphates (salifert) and I've noticed a huge decrease in diatom algae and other things since using it - have used it for about 1.5 months now and intend to continue.

I finally re-found mine (they blew off a rock too), hiding under a rock archway!
Have re-attached them to a rock, and they've opened again, so hopefully they do okay.

You're close...
They're actually both mechanical and biological filters
Mechanical = takes visible stuff out of water
Biological = "cycles" ammonia out of water, turning it into nitrite/nitrate.
The corner filters filled with filter wool still work as a biological filter. And yes, you can put noodles in it if you wish, it just won't be a very good mechanical filter then (which may not be an issue given your goal).

I have a Sony F828 as well... I like it however I'm leaning more towards a SLR due to the fact that manual focus on a LCD is not exactly 100%.
That's a very small moan however for most people

One pump failed to start (Seio, what a suprise).
Interesting... I have had to unplug/replug my streams after the last two power outages, or they just restart running on min - the controller gets all confused about things.

Was only 3 hours at home (CBD), fish etc were fine according to the girl.
Best "budget" camera under $500
in Saltwater

www.parallelimported.co.nz would be a place to start.
No chance on a DSLR, however you can get some reasonable point/shoot cameras at the $500 mark.
www.dpreview.com is the place to find out what's out there, and how good/bad it is
