  1. The novelty soon wears off when you find you dont have a life other than fish.
  2. All Controllable streams have fish care function, what that means is when you have two, the second stream will rotate the impeller every minute or so until it is going full on again. Only the nano 6055 can this, the other nanos can not be controlled as they stay on all the time like a powerhead.

    Refugiums

    Most skimmers in terms on what volume they will do are over stated by the manufacture. Who knows how they rate the skimmers. Deltec for example give you a high load and low load specs on what the skimmer will do.

    Water change is not going to help much if you use NSW, it is loaded with silicate acid.

    yes sure if you did water changes then it would be ok, forgot what we are going on about anyway

    however over time the tank would get polluted as the nutrients would build up. good for short term however problems long terms.

    May be so but as Layton said. "Be realistic. You know that when people hear refugium, they think sand, macro, pods etc." most book also state that a refugium is a place to house pods, snails etc, so that the fish cant eat them.

    Not sure it is a refugium. Basically two 4ft tanks running on the same system as the main tank with coral and fish. All bare bottom with no sand. I always thought a refugium was a tank that housed algae and sand.

    I found most of the tanks where pretty average and outdated. Pitty they did not have any of the modern tanks that are around these days. Maybe volume two will be out someday.
  10. how many do you want? bids start at $200
  11. Send me a PM , will give you some pricing
  12. Layton can you help on this one
  13. You live to far in the bush I will bring my torch over. You are trying to be funny. My camera had problems taking photos because it was so dull with you last bulbs.
  14. Lucky you are not in the aquatic industry. dont see many prizm pro skimmers for $700 retail. you must have had the wrong sticker.
  15. Not criticising at all. just fact. They are not luminarc and the new bulbs would have made a huge difference, as they so much brighter. reflector is only as good as the light source.
  16. Then Show me all the quality tanks that have a prism skimmer?
  17. Would the bulbs not have made a bigger improvement? My torch was brighter than the blue bulbs you had previously. They are not luminarcs. cheap copies, you cant get luminarcs in NZ.

    They come out at night. Do need to acclimatise them very well when adding to the tank

    Get some on these, they are safe and great clean up crew for the tank. Jansens have heaps of them.

    I dont really think it is the brittle stars fault, it needs food to live. Second you it is not 100% gauranteed that it killed the six line . you would think a sixline would be way to quick. anemoes can also eat fish, maybe you need to remove them

    Get a stocking and put some mussel in it. Let it hang in the tank. The brittle star will come out in a matter of seconds.
