very cool.

hey does anyone know were to get some water proof fans to go into my stand to vent my condensation from the sump. approx 5-6 cm width. Can you also tell me the cost. Cheers Reuben

I got glass shrimp from Raglan to feed my copper band fish. 4 of them were to big for it to eat about 6 months ago. Now they live happily in my tropical marine tank which gets as high as 28 degrees. Thats 14 degrees above their normal environment.

Actually i'm not a builder but i'm picking up me handy man hammer and stuff to fix my stand before its over. Its a custiom wood stand, and is getting realy really water damaged in the sump. How would you guys go about sealing it. Would you use a silcon paint, enamal paint, or line it with water proof sheeting??? Any ideas, also any for installing a venting fan??? Cheers Ru

The small one with the clown was from when I purchased the anemone 18 months ago. Since then its split twice and conituned to grow.

Reefroids is simply the best coral food I have ever used. FULL STOP.

Back and alls good. Trip of a lifetime it rocked. Thanks KP for looking after my tank weekly maintance. and my dad and inlaws for feeding the tank My dad taught the copperband to eat from his hand, and my anemone seems to have split. Cheers Ru

yes great pumps indeed

I can't wait until there is a spare one around for me :lol: :lol:

Positives 1. Relatively easy installation 2. Mostly the unit can be hiden from sight 3. Operates as it should 4. Looks cool Negatives 1. Pump noise is really loud considering slow flow rates 2. It the top-up pipe is under water it can create a siphon if the pump is unplugged 3. The international plug/ transformer has an international plug on it Over all good product. When compared with other products Kettle 1/10 :oops: Tunze auto-top up 8.5/10

Positives 1. High flow - amazing flow for such a small peace of equipment 2. Small size - Tiny 1/3 the size of a seio of equilent flow rating 3. Low power useage - very low 4. Magnet holder - hides the mount, and means it will never fall of the side of the tank, unlike almost all other brands 5. Easy to modify water direction flow (easy twishing bracket) 6. Looks cool - comes in black 7. Quiet 8. Cost not to expensive Negatives 1. When sliding the nano along a painted back panel watch for paint chipping, (even with rubber pads installed) 2. The mounting backet cannot be tigthened, (so if the wires are to tight, it can pull the powerhead about, changing current direction) 3. Flow area out of the pump is less than the seio M1100 but, better intake flow makes up of this. Overall good product Comparasion to other models I have used Via Aqua 3/10 rating Seio (M1100) 6.5/10 rating Nano (Tunze) 8.5/10 rating

local sea water introduced crads that eat the pest starfish in my tank. Those raglan locals are tuff. Seen a crab waving one around... (locals rule,, oh and the waves too :evil: :evil: :evil: ) , no need to start surfing it no fun.... you hear... :roll: haha

will post a review in a week or so.

About the same flow as the M1100 seio, but 1/3 the size. And quieter than expected... I'm as happy as a pig in mud.. Come have a look slappers home tonight after 7.30pm (maybe!!!) (thats if your not out getting another hang-over :lol: :lol: :lol: )

Tunze nano's man there are really small. picks to come.

my dream tank

now eating brine shrimp. Home grown. (and water fleas as well, as long as it wringles its toast....... :lol: :lol: ) Tipped tons of brine shrimp eggs into a big container outside a month ago. Just add liquify stuff once every 3-4 days. And bringo live food. Stilll looks at frozens..... maybe one day he eat them.... :roll: Healthy and holding his weight Worried though. I'm overseas for a couple of weeks soon.. not sure how he will do with random feeding patterns..... Cheers Ru

I still have trouble taking good pics but here goes.

very cool

still alive and going strong... Hey were is everyone on the site?????? Cheers Ru

very interesting. keep me posted on prices. :lol:

very interesting. My day looks at my tank in amazement. and tells me of when he was a student importing fresh water marine stock. Buying a breeding pair of angel fish (fresh water) for about a pound (expensive at the time) and making his student money. 50 tanks at one stage even breeding neon tetras in the 70's ""g"" maybe the 60"s. If they lost a fish they imported they replaced it with another and Maf on there checks (if they really called it that) had no idea what was what.. .cheers ru
