    Ammonia level

    i doubt a little fish like that is going to cause ammonia levels to rise. Check that it has not jumped out of the tank.
  7. what storm? all fine in waitakere. even no power cuts
  8. Will advise when i get the stuff, Yep have be offered distribute Fauna Marin range. Many new products like high quaility fish food etc. also. Will post a link when they update the web site next week.
  9. Yep, MAF are losers at the best of times, But don’t forget ERMA who are total losers. All they are interested in is paper work, don’t really care a stuff about the environment. It’s all a cover up to make money. One thing that make you think is that it pays not to be Honest with them as when you are they screw you. You will find that most Bacterial product dont have permits as the contents is not fully disclosed. Dumb me for saying what is in the prodibio product. i have permits for a new bacteria product due out next month. Will advise when I get the product in as I might get 10 hobbyist to do a trial at reduced cost.
  10. sure a bigger skimmer is better but looking at your tank it is not heavy stocked and the rating on the Deltec skimmers are far more conservative than most so i dont think the mce600 is running at its limit in your tank. A ap600 insump model will be a next size up from the mce600, but A bigger skimmers is nice to have but if you want to save some money other things can be done to improve water quality. Even with my monster skimmer on my tank i have to do other things to improve my water quality, Weekly water changes are very good as it exports waste on a regular basis. something i dont get time to do but notice things do better when i do. I run zeolite, carbon sometimes, 4Litres of rowaphos. runing a miracle mud sump with algae. But find that when my nutrients get low my algae does not do well. its a good sign of water quality I also add prodibio bacteria to help with waste removal. I feed limited frozen foods. That is why i suggest that water quality is not just about having a bigger skimmer. A skimmer will remove about 70% of waste but it cant remove the other 30%. You can put my Deltec ap1004 on your tank and you will not be able to remove the other 30% of waste. But it will look impressive
  11. Thats one thing a skimmer will not take out and that is why i suggested zeolite/carbon.
  12. The tunze 9210 range skimmers are not great unless you get the new 9420 range. But they are nit cheap. Not sure why you want to skim more unless you want to have a tank full of SPS corals. A skimmer does not take out everything. I would look at using carbon, zeolite and water change sto keep up with water quality.
  13. not really, unless it is a bigger skimmer.
  14. The mce600 can be placed in the sump. either hang it on the sump or it can stand in the sump.
  15. Post pics of any great tanks Here is one i really like. These are not to bad either
  16. Normal part of Business when importing, Its good that personal shipments are being stopped as Business come across this all the time. Gives you a good idea what crap commercial Business have to put up with and why it cost.
