  2. That's true Pies, that's why I have an RCD between the UPS power outlet and the powerbox where the pump and heater are plugged in. And I have another RCD from the mains to a powerbox with the light and other pumps.
  3. Sorry to hear I recommend a UPS (battery backup power supply) for heater and maybe one pump. That's what I've got setup and its great! I don't know whether they would last a weekend, but it might have helped reduce the deaths or at least saved some for your return on Monday. The bigger the UPS, the longer it will last. Good luck.
  4. Yeah, 90% is a huge percentage! I just can't visage this amount of dead corals.
  5. Found this article on the Xtra site. http://xtramsn.co.nz/travel/0,,12734-5529066,00.html
  6. Very good. Next time do some closeup shots and a David Attenborough commentary! :lol: I'll have to take out my DV and do the same. I can save direct to MP4 format on my DV.
  7. Hi guys, I'm thinking of getting a 6-line wrasse. I currently have a cleaner shrimp, 2 Ocellaris Clowns, and 1 clown goby. Would the wrasse be ok with the other inhabitants? It won't harrass/eat the shrimp? I'm thinking later at getting a purple firefish, but I'm scared the wrasse will harrass it. Anyone have any experience with that combination? Many thanks Helifax.
  8. What do these people do for a living to keep up with the running costs???
  9. Great pictures and corals. Thanks for sharing
  10. Just a quick note, my golden eye's have breed too. I always knew when the hot summer days increases the temp, they will start breeding.
  11. Yes, very hot tonight. 27.3c. Got big 30cm fan going for tonight.
  12. What great looking mushrooms! They look like they are doing better than the ones in the tanks!
  13. Thanks for your answers. One other question. Can Acro's touch each other? The same goes for Monti's?
  14. He wasn't too happy with your comment Brian. Still thinks this is a shop! Oh well, lets hope other people will see the website address and check it out for themselves.
  15. Hi, just wanting to know whether you can have Acros and Monti's in close proximity or even touching each other without any adverse effect? Cheers.
  16. Depends on how big your tank is. I've used 2 cheap small submersable ones I bought from mitre 10. They're just little pumps, if they crap out, it doesn't matter as they only cost $6. See my thread for pictures.

    New tank

    $193 sounds expensive. I'm sure Tanks4U could have done one made up for that or less.
  18. All the books I've read say to lay the rocks down first, then the sand as this will give the rock formation stability and any sand sifters could dig underneath the rocks and make the whole structure colapse.
  19. A was thinking of 2. Do you have any spare I can have?

    AIPSTASIA

    You could try boiling water on just the area where the Aip is. One of Wasp's Remedies.
  21. Just got today a very interesting coloured polyp - purple with slight pink on the inside. The picture isn't the best...

    28.5

    Last night my one hovered at 26.3 and I thought that was bad! I do keep a small computer fan going 24/7 which keeps the temp between 24.7 to 26.5.

    Seaweed Salad

    I bought a pack of Nori from Foodtown for around $5.00 and I think I'm going to have to give some away as it will go off before the fish will eat it all. Not that I have any at the moment that eat veges.
  24. Looks really nice Cookie. Makes me wanna get one. :-?
