Brianemone Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 shouldnt you want to keep the water in the tank rather than having it overflowing? sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Holiday Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 I'm insulted that you would think I am that ignorant towards my chosen hobby, that being the case I should give up before I even start!! No just kidding!! I was mistaken and thought that chimera was getting an acrylic syphon overflow box made (or wier). And thought better planning should of been done if he was to need one of these. But that was my missunderstanding, sorry!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimera Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 my wife keeps telling me the same thing, "our new tank looks so beautiful, its such a big difference over the old tank"... ...just wait til i load it full of corals darling! must admit, the blue background does wonders for "enhancing" its appearance, as it has done for mine.

Brianemone Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 tonight ill chuck up some pics of william clarks tank from morrinsville damn those clams are big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Chimera - Thats why I said paint it blue, it helps make the tank look 10x nicer. IRA - I know someone here in Wellington selling a medium/large piece of rock covered with Blue Mushrooms, PM we and i'll get it sorted for you. Has maybee 10 or more mushrooms.

Pies Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Layton that looks really good. Your tank is realling comming along nicely and I can see some serious colour and growth compared to previous photos. AWESOME, I am truely impressed. I'd love a highres pic if you can manage it? just email through to me. Also if you have one of your plumbing&sump&lights/reflectors i'd be keen to see that to. My tank is comming along, so its my last change to learn from everyones mistakes before mine starts its bedding in process. Have you removed/lost/sold some fish? I remeber seening banner fish and a Naso tang? The green monti on the left looks well nice. Pies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Thanks Pies, as usual the photo never looks as good as the real thing. The Naso died a while back. Just stopped eating and two days later died. I suspect cyanide, but I don't know, not usually something you'd associate with fish from Hawaii though. But it died very quickly, very strange. Still got one banner fish (must be camera shy), I lost one right after the fire though. Sold all my anthias, plus some annoying damsels. I'm quite surprised at the colours myself, cause nitrates are around 10. Will be interesting to see once they drop, things should look a lot better. They are finally on the way down now. I'm just about to add a third 400Watt halide so i'll get some pics of my lights and stuff when I add that in. Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 I just emailed through a hi res, but do you still use the techtonics address? That's where I sent it. Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Whats the costs/info on your halides? I need to buy 4 for my new tank, and am shopping around now. I remember we spoke about it a while back, what are you using, what bulbs are you using and have you had any troubble? I am really keen to keep my lighting costs down to a minimum if possible. Also keen to know what you are doing for a relfector. Interesting about a 3rd bulb, when I had (well still have I guess) my 5 footer I wish I had 3 bulbs (250 DE) not 2x. I think you will notice a mega improvemet in lighting from the 3rd. Shame about the fish, esp the Naso, awesome fish but they do get massive.

lduncan Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Obviously not, cause it just bounced back. Can you give me your email address Pies? Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
