livingart Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 You need some salt water first, a heater to keep it warm. If you use a prawn to cycle it will create tn much ammonia that will render your rock no longer live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godly3vil Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 There's no point setting up a tank when you are moving within 3 months, especially that far! Dude you seriously need to start thinking ahead. Also just so you know there is no shop thay sells marine stock or equipment any closer than Christchurch so I hope you're prepared to get all your corals and livestock shipped to you?

Hobby breeders, clownfish are easily tank bred. Watch these forums or the NZMAS forums. My flatmate picked up two from a breeder on NZMAS for $35 each (http://nzmas.co.nz/forum/viewtopic.php?p=115076#p115076) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinefish4life Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 We were selling our normal ocellaris for $35 each (I'm Nathanjayc) Have none left now. I have c-grade true perc picassos coming up soon though (c-grade is normal barred with picasso in their genes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godly3vil Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I meant true percs, not occys. True percs are generally harder to find especially locally bred ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinefish4life Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Well, watch around in the next few months;) about 40% of the picassos are normal striped perculas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
