Thanks seffie, the little #28### wont touch the prawn or bacon, so im going to redo the same for the time being( next couple of days), spoke to my LFS who are very good and they gave me some dried algae sheets(free) as i said he seems to be munching on algae on rocks only for the time being...

Agreed, his prices are very good, although with my other pets he has made lots and lots of £ from me so, maybe an alterior motive?(keep me buying from him?) he sells me LR at £10 per kilo reduced from £13, but all the same you may find your LFS may have a deal price, i got my full setup inc...

mwa right, that'd be a first would you mind just teling the wife that for me... otherwise she'll never beleive me lol :rofl: oh and another tip i was given was to use fresh unsalted water in the clean bucket, this acts almost like a dip and allows any bad critters, disease's drop off or die...
