  1. Look in http://forum.seahorse.org/ They should be able to help.
  2. There was a post in here somewhere of a video of Eric Born...(?) fragging a whole heap of stuff. Do a search for it. Well worth a watch
  3. Big happy birthday Wasp! :bounce:
  4. WOW Bubbles, thanks for a great find! Well worth a watch. Great to see all the creatures that we can get here - seen doing their stuff in the wild. Highly recommend a watch. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
  5. Running a stepdown. No problems with it though Pump runs very quiet.
  6. CS-80 Model. Got from Premium Aquatics (USA). Very quiet unit - compared to the RedSea Prism I had and the Aquamedic Hang-On. And a smaller foot print than the others available.
  7. I haven't updated this thread for a while. Here's the latest... Well last month I finally upgraded my Sump to a bigger one and just this month upgraded my protein skimmer to a Euro-Reef. It's still breaking in, but starting to pull out a bit of gunk. These pics are straight after I upgraded. The white filter is there just to stop the fine mist when the water goes into the sump and bubbles pop! I had to do a bit of manoeuvring to get the skimmer in, and I also had to redo the overflow pipes so I can fit the skimmer. But the good news is that it is much quieter. Then had to get a plastic box in the sump which couldn't quite fit by only 3mm!!!!! :evil: So had to do some creative cutting and finally got it in. I needed this to prop up the skimmer otherwise the water level would be too high. You can just see the black box in the picture. Here's some pics of the skimmer: I made the mistake of going into HFF last weekend. Came out with an empty pocket of money and a bag of goodies . Pictures to come, but now have a nice large Yellow Leather, medium/large orange mushrooms (couldn't miss this opportunity!), and a Gainford Goby. The mushrooms cost the most at a premium of $110!!!! I hope my wife doesn't see this thread :oops: ) I now need to pluck up the courage to slice and dice the mushrooms and spread it around the tank. That should make it worth while
  8. Don't like the sound of a Nuke Test! Will use Kalk or Joes Juice. Safest. Cheers.
  9. Hi, I know this is an old site, but I'm just running out of Joes Juice so looking for an alternative to kill these buggers! I have Reef Advantage Calcium, if I make that into a paste, will that work? Cheers guys!
  10. Hi, does anyone have a Coral Banded Shrimp? Are they peaceful to smaller fish, corals, and other shrimps like cleaner/pepperment? I'm not sure but thinking of getting one to get rid of some of my millions of bristleworms! Your thoughts and comments are most welcomed.
  11. Here's my Nano Cube Tank - 91 litres (24 US Gal). Have a sump that's 74 litres (19.5 US Gal). My latest addition - Purple Firefish. Hey Sharkey, see your lettice leather in front?! Grown a lot since your cuttings. I'll have to come over and get some more of your Xenia! They're looking really good.
  12. I purchased a brand new one and it made quite a loud hum. We found it was the impellar. They replaced it and now working quietly.
  13. I made my own moonlights by stringing about 5 blue LED's bought from Dick Smith and put on a timer. Works great!
  14. This is a great site with DIY projects. Designed by an Aussie person so no need to worry about trying to find parts and to convert the voltages from 110v to 230v. http://www.petsforum.com/personal/trevor-jones/default.html
  15. So are the shrimps like the Clown Fish where they choose which one will be a male and female?

    I'm a bit disappointed by the resolution. Not very high as you can see. But the colour is good. Better than my USB webcam.

Picture may change at any stage. And set to update every 30 seconds. http://www.thelittletoyshop.com/somethingfishywc/webcam.html
  23. I've always used Joes Juice wtih 100% success rate, but running out so may try Vinegar with a needle.
