yea, the t5s could be lower, will tell get michael to sort it out. The tank is new so it will take time to mature. i think it could do with more skimming, however they only had a small budget, hopefully once the entry takings increase they will upgrade to a big skimmer. I think they are going to raise the water level which will make it look better.

Yep, i will be doing it to the same standard, system will have the full works. co2. iks computer,t5s, etc.

great link. fantastic tanks. do we have any tanks in new zealand that look like that. Are all these plants from the amazon??? I have seen Hollywood fishfarmas planted tank and that looks pretty good

I am in the process of setting up a discus tank with plants. Does anyone have photos of a discuss tank with plants?? Just like to see what type of plants they have with the discus.

smoke and mirrors i quess. Pays to listen to the pros, cowboy STEVE. maybe importers are not making a killing as you suggested. Cant wait for your pricing. safe me a few yellow tangs at $56. anyway we are getting off track. brian i would try a acro frag and see how it goes. Hydro are nice but can sting . all depends how much current thy get, the more current the longer the stingers

they do nice food.

i think you need more light

good idea chimera

I am surprised that you want frags steve when you have a shipment coming in next week. and by going on all your past post all coral will be about $25 anyway. why buy a frag for $10 when you can buy a whole colony for $25 from stev/nick. just to remind you what you and nick said. was it smoke& mirrors??

REDUCE THE PICS>

yes is does grow quick, however it all depends on the water quality of the tank, lighting etc I am aware on a number of hobbyist that have it and it does not grow quick in there tanks.

nothing wrong with montipora caprcornis. . mine grew over 12 inches

yep that is what my does, but so do most of my brains, like favites, They always do it at night time.

the tank gets full sun light daily as it has a glass roof over the tank.

I thought you added tunze streams not sea swirls?? corals do look like they love it.

what lights are you using? reduce the pic size. too big

is this a selling thread know. cool. i have acro frags for $10 and hydro for $12

Here are some updated pics and close ups. Things are starting to take off and getting great growth. This poc is huge, had it for 4 plus years This baby is brown but it is one of my favorite due to it being very hairy Got this acro about 3 years ago from Jansens as a imported frag. It was brown and thumb size. $60 at the time.

Its to soon to rate as i need a bit more time as i am a long term Deltec users. have not found any skimmers that perform better than a deltec yet. But results do look promising for the bubble king. The bubble size of the bubble king does look smaller.

how much$. the skimmer cost around $3000 landed. not cheap but it does a great job. Skimmer has been running for 3 weeks and is starting to pull some real crap out. It is a hard one when it comes to the cost of a good skimmer. Do you spend good money on a great skimmer or do you go for a average Aquamedic/aqua c etc. I personally think that a good skimmer is worth its weight in gold and pays for itself in the long run.

Hollywood fish farm have some chillers. The price of some of them are not that bad. cant remember the brand. I think Jansens have aquamedic chillers still available.

cant see it beig a problem. however they do grow big.
