Eek, sorry to hear that and hope all your fish are ok... How long were you gone for?

Is your bioload in here 3 clowns, 1 goby and a seahorse? Tank looks real nice btw! Also what's the compatibility like with seahorses, are they ok with all inverts etc?

Ok, so i know this is a nanotank forum, but i've been thinking about potentionally making a larger tank towards the end of the year providing i can save enough... And i was just wondering what people think is a decent size tank for two pairs of clowns and a mandarin maybe... I've got a...

I've already got my cleaner shrimp, i told you guys didn't i? [scrolls up] Apparently not.... But yeh that's what i intended to do, get 1 now and maybe one later.. Goby i was thinking of a hi-fin or "yellow rose" (both the same thing i believ just different names). Although a couple of...

Well this weekend, having checked my water conditions, i picked up a tank breed percuka clown for £11 and he's about an inch (if that) long, he's doing really well and ate within an hour of being in the tank...The thing is he just seems abit bored (Pictures tomorrow) Edit: I also managed to...

Indeed, i've just never been impressed by the Yellow Watchman myself, maybe im just not a yellow fan [shrug]... If you can i'd try and get a pistol shrimp to go with the goby, most of your choices would be compatible, as apparently it's fascinating to watch them make a friendship as it were...

Hmm, they're all really nice goby's (have you seen them all in person as well? - You're so lucky to have them all to hand, i have to order stuff in 99% of the time) . . . Personally i'd go for a hi-fin red banded or red head, but that's my opinion yet again not yours. Although i think if you...

Hmm, a pair would probably be pushing it from what i've heard, and obviously don't add them both at once, take your time. Have you looked at other gobies available in your area at all? Because IMO the watchman goby is abit to common and there are some more adventurous gobies out there...

Well, in a similar sized tank i'm going for 4 hermits, 2 snails and a shrimp (maybe two if the sexy shrimp doesn't clean to well) also maybe an urchin but this has yet to be decided... That's my personal aim for an 8gal so you may want to push it up a little say 5 hermits, 3 snails? And...

Anyone looking to sell frags based in the UK, preferabbly London way...

Why not go for a goby of some sort? Or do you already have one in there?

Yuh, i heard they're not harmful, they just give me the heebie geebies... Just so you all know i'm planning to get my clownfish on thursday (if he can order me one) and maybe a big leather coral he's got in stock if i can get a good price for it :D Week after that i intend to get my sexy...

Hmm, i still haven't had a chance to check out the bottled waters around here but what i did do today (after a water check which showed significantly lower nitrates) was add two hermits... I did ask for two scarlets but upon arriving home and releasing them i noticed one's in fact a zebra i...

Did a similar job myself today a 5mm Ultrra Bright Blue LED just plugged to two AA batteries works like a charm... Simple project, about £4 total for everything.... Thinking of doing different colour setups as well...

Yuh i spose this is a possibility, anything in particular i want to look for in the bottled water, not from a spring i take it? Also should i use dechlorinator in it?

Heh, not rushing as such, just this weekend is convenient for me to browse around some places as i'm off work which is unusual for me so i was going to see if i could find anything... Hmm, you know water filters, such as this Brita Water Filter, would they be effective at removing nitrates...

Yuh the nitrates are high and i think my tap water is high in nitrates unfortunately (i'll check tomorrow) but i didn't intend to put anything like fish/corals in there yet as it's so high. Just maybe the start of my cleaner crew... How hardy are sexy shrimps/cleaner shrimps/hermits/snails?

Well, 3 days on and nitrates are at 75, and dropping, going to check tomorrow and if it's below 50 i am going to add a hermit or two i think.... I also intend to do a 5L water change tomorrow (which is almost 20%) so that should help to lower the nitrates abit...

Hehe, it's not you mate, this is a long debated topic and many people have different opinions on it. I personally have no experience cycling SALTWATER tanks with a fish so am not aware of the consequences but i do belive that they can be more vunerable. Personally i've chosen to cycle without a...

Nitrate is very high, i think it must be because there's such a large amount of live rock, yet a new filter, alot of the denitrification as far as i'm aware happens in the filter? And thus this may take abit longer. But at least there's like no ammonia and nitrite present :D And there's...
