reef

Gonipora need plenty of current and medium light

Nice anemoes ashlar

Nice angel. Very shy, hopefully you will have good luck with him, most die due to being cyanide collected.

nice looking tank. Is that what a real rose anemoe looks like

It would work better ifthe water went thru the skimmer first. The micro algae will be ok if you want to have a small arera for copods etc, but it will not do much for the tank as the area is to small as you will not grow enough algae. Try Hollywood fish farm as they build custom made sumps and hav a similiar design on the reef tank.

A bit of a shock to see Greg Schiemer has died from cancer. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showt ... genumber=1

i would not worry about mag/cal/alh in a cycling tank. Wait until stock is to be added then test. Dont add anything until tank is fully cycled. no need to get the levels correct as once the tank is cycled do a 50% water change and the levels should balance out. best to aim for calcium levels of say 380-420ppm. alk of say 2.5-3. But only after the tank has matured. So at this stage just leave the tank and just take your time and let it settle in. i would run the lights say 2-3 hours a day otherwise you might get bad algae.

Some new pics, And new species of coral clamasanemoesrosie sp. basically anemoe in a clamshell Split twice over last 2 weeks.

That is looking good, more pics

At 80l the deltec would be perfect or even a tunze nano.

wow, nice brain

Layton will have some soon. how far away are the pumps Layton?

Here are some pics of a few i have. Some are very hard to get as the states takes them all and then sell them for big money. They are a bit like acros as they do change colour due to water conditions. I had some come in dark brown and they turned out to be the best red corals i have . Also a few acros pics, i am getting such awesome colors in my acros since the temperature dropped in winter, Found that in summer you do loose a bit of colour due to the high temp.

Very nice fish, been in the tank for over 2 years, does pick on some acros sometimes. Will see if i can get some updated photps as these are over 6 months old. tank is looking better , If you can get better

Found some pics of a nice reef Tank in Auckland. Not sure if posted before, but here goes anyway.

Thats true, no one wants them.

everyone should put pics up so we can see what is around.? will see if i can get some of mine this week, You can get the ball rolling Layton. i am also getting sick of acros

very nice, chances of getting some of those is like winning lotto

Yes, great fish NoToRiOuS, Looks like not many people posting pics, must be only 5 people in NZ keeping discus

If you have a power cut for up to 12 hours that should not be a problem. We have had power cuts for up to 8 hours and the tank had no problems.
