One more thing, the tank might be a little delayed. I need $600 to go to gold coast :D but i might cancel the holiday, pending parental consent.

Okay, should be okay with the fortnightly 4g waterchange Incysor, the red sea prizm youre running, is that the only form of filtration? What is your bioload? And params? The guy i met had a skimmer comprising a 18" tube connected to a eheim pump (100g per hour type) and an airpump with the...

Hi djconn, yeah, i think that although the violet and red gonis dont need as high nitrates, they do appreciate some. Come to think of it, im sure they also derive some feeding from the effluent rich waters they inhabit. Will try to test that hypothesis though. Phishy, im so jealous, i wish i...

Hi guys,thought id start this thread for all the much loved stuff we've had die,in our tanks or otherwise. To start off, this first post is dedicated to my beautiful golden clown goby, star of my 2.5. This morning, saw his skeletal remains being devoured by a clump of bristleworms, including...

Shaggydoo, how big a tank are ya running? Is the red sea prizm just the standard air driven type? whoa, if it can keep your readings at 0... maybe i wont need a supercharged skimmer after all

Okay, thanks for the replies. Firstly, its gonna be a 12g, how much water change should i do fortnightly? I could add a fuge in the back with sand and some caulerpa, cant get chaeto here. Again, how are your nitrates doing?

Hi, i think your mystery lump is a sponge, just one of those with hard calcium spicules instead of spongin; hence the hard, rough texture. Just leave it alone, they dont like much movement, those small ones tend to do okay in my tanks growing real slow but still growing. And it looks like...

Hi guys, thanks for the replies Didnt realise you guys are running skimmer only tanks! Thats great!! So what are your parameters like? esp trates trites phosphates if possible. And what skimmers are you all using? normal air driven or countercurrent? Any disadvantages using skimmers only...

Hi guys As some of you may read, i juat met a guy who has a 3'x1.5'x1.5 and his params are great, NO2, NO3 all zip. His secret is NO FILTER, but two super powerful skimmers. His bioload involves lotsa corals, a flame hawk, a pair of percs and a scopas tang. He suggested i do the same...

Hi Just wanna say your tank is awesome. Really like the aquascaping, the cave looks great. The sps seems to be doing real well, especially the birdnest. What are your water parameters? One last thing, are your clowns hosting anything? Im setting up a new tank soon and wanna see how clown...

Hi, i started this thread ages ago. Why are you thanking everyone :) are you setting up a 2.5 too?

Hi, i know what you mean. I noticed that with the xenia too. I wish it would recover faster though :p Reminds me of pruning such shrubs as hydrangea and roses, if left unpruned growth slows, same with xenia. As to the trading with other reefers, ill try. Just looking for more reefers to...

Hi, new modifications to the idea. I went to a guys place today and he had great display and frag tanks with all parameters at 0. His method was just super powered skimmers, and LR. nothing else, no charcoal, no chemipure, no nothing! So, may incorporate skimming into the design. Hope i...

Thanks dj, i have successfully cut and pasted a xenia colony :) My xenia is retarded though: i took a frag off someone, and placed it on a rock. it stuck and was happy, however not growing/spreading. However, when i cut off a nice sized trunk to frag, the stump is growing back nice and fast...

Hi guys, woke up yhis morning and the thing either died, crawled back into the rock or jumped out of the tank :) It was wierd cos it was long and very thin (ie 1/8mm). My wank has a few other bristle worms, about 1mm thick but only 6-7cm long. These are the normal benthic grey+red ones...

Hi all, I suddenly found this white bristle worm. Nothing interesting i know, but this one swims around, and is about 9cm long. Should i remove/kill it?

Great input. Thats just what i wanted to hear :) where did you hear that skunks want to try to host almose anything? I would really love clowns hosting a euphyllia in my tank :p. I think that percs and oscellaris swim in an "interesting" fashion but they seem to be less likely to host...

Hi, thanks for the suggestion incysor, ive tried to order stuff in; but its kinda hard. LFS here dont get enough from suppliers to know what will be available throughout the month. They get a list on wednesday every fortnight on whats available. So far, in the 15+years of operating, the LFS has...

Hi, Pertaining to my hopeful setup of a 38cm cube tank, ive gotten ahead of myself and have started thinking bout fish for the nano. I am very interested in the concept of interesting pair behaviour and other interesting behaviour in general. Anyone got any ideas on personality filled fish...

I have known this for some time now but wanted to test my hypothesis. I have checked out some peoples tanks where theyre keeping goniopora successfully, or at least reasonably so. Let me state that this is in particular relation to the green goniopora species. First, let us consider the...
