  1. Uv is not necessary, any good UV is going to cost over $600, most of the ones at the shop are toys.
  2. two months, Is not a easy thing to do. very labour intensive.
  3. likely lack of oxygen, will not be a disease. You should not have ammonia and nitrite, how old is the tank.
  4. All the spelling mistakes are minor, will not make a difference.
  5. No it is not illegal. no real issue.

    How do you go overboard on filtration.
  7. reef

    Tanked

    sums it up well. Both to me are interesting shows.

    Tanked

    depends what you like, some say Tanked is much better. one shoe does not fit all.

    How would you come to that conclusion? Most people making the negative comments would not have a clue and likely killed many fish themselves. Tanked is made for TV viewing otherwise the general public would not watch it, so Most of the tank set ups are planned months in advance and you don't see really how long it actual has taken to set these tanks up . Some of these tanks have massive water volume with little fish so cycling these tanks will not be an issue. In general taking fish from the reefs could be seen as not the right thing to do as many fish are killed, but we still have fish tanks. i would say most of the tanks would have someone doing the maintenance as they are not budget tanks where cash is not a problem.
  10. i would get a expert to make a tank that size, glass is so expensive these days so you can't make any mistakes.

    Tonight's tank was massive, Some serious money goes into the tank builds.
  12. i doubt you will overskim with these budget skimmers. If you tank is 350L then get a skimmer that is rated for a 700L tank. yes, if you get a skimmer that is too big then it will not skim effectively as it needs something to take out to work well. yep, it will make her eyes water. :sml1:

    Can't wait for tonight's series. quite amazed what they can do. GO ATM.
  14. :sml1: :sml1: :sml1: :sml1: :sml1: :sml1: :sml1: thank was funny. I doubt they have the margins to match overseas pricing. Could you not use eheim 2073 of eheim classic. I doubt it really matters if you get a smaller filter as once the tank is established the bacteria in the Tank will break down waste.
  15. Would be pretty risky making a tank that size if you have no experience in making tanks.
  16. take the Seachem Stability with you.
  17. too much rock. seahorse like branches etc to hang on.
  18. I highly doubt you will not have to cycle the tank. Any fish needs good water quality .
  19. UV required is 130 µWs/cm2 , so it is not a hobby UV. likely to cost over $2k. more than the tin shed.
  20. Care to go into this in more detail? Seems pretty close to a one-liner...
  21. There has been a lot 'revealed' discretely so i am being careful not breach confidentiality here. :rotf:
