It's been much debated about pairing them. 10% say I've done it the rest have had fatalities. I've had a fire goby in my 20gal for a solid 6 months. I saw one today for only 10au dollars and for here that's a bargain. I could resist. I was nervous putting him in. They met each other in the...

#39####! yeah cause at the lfs they are all like 5cm some had full bristles and other only had to on the lip. I didnt know that. So i bought 1 with no bristles that was smaller, so it could be a male!! :P ah well now i know thanks guys

Do the females also have bristles?

my mistake the holes will actually be 35mm

thanks for the replies from both of you. Weir would be a better option, and i may use one later. But for little glass panels the fish store is charging me a fortune and i cant be bothered with it. Its going to be a 25mm hole. Is there a rule of thumb to how high or low the hole should be from...

I'm thinking just a pipe or would a weir be better

I got everything for it already from my old standard 2ft tank. But i will be finally using a sump. My question is, where would best suit the holes? Should i drill the bottom of the back panel. Personal experience would be good :)

lol :P well the royal isnt doing so well, still has not settled looks like it could have some fin rot, but im hoping for the best. give him a couple more days b4 i try something else with him

and for a certain someone :P I will get some more tomorrow, work has tired me, and taking pics is just as bad as we all know. I got a royal gramma today!!! love it. p.s. oh and the lump in my chest if you noticed is a tear, hurt it last week, still not 100%

maybe a sea hare

thanks! that torso you see has been greatly modified :) been training hard again. I will put pics up when i can, blue zoo's look awsome

Hey guys, been awhile since i have been on these forums. Tank is still going, i left it alone for around 3 months doing absolutely nothing to it, just but some food in every other day. Corals are growing like crazy, my glass is finally purple! i will upload some pics with my new blue zoo's come...

no, make it a lions den. i have been reading this thread for way to long to see it turn into another boring reef tank.

time for an update. the female clown jumped out, into my bowl of spaghetti. Sad loss, but funny to think back on, I was eating and looking at the computer, look down to eat, and there she was, lying in some sauce.... poor thing. The tank has had a MASSIVE algae problem which killed most my...

cant call it a lions den without a volitan!!! :P Nah its up to you, but i think a small one would be awsome, i have kept them, and im always kicking myself im not now. Well the tank cycled sooner than i expected, which is awsome! fish soon :P

Trod, here is some inspiration for you

both units are 11" so 2 unit will fit on there, being 12 tubes. Some bad news, the female clown jumped out, she has jumped out so many times and she has been fine, but this time i didnt notice, poor thing. They only onyx clowns i have ever seen in perth (where i live)

nice, looks like the cycle is going good then.

wut

if money was the issue i would never have started this hobby

it really comes down to personal preference, i like the t5 look, i like the different colour combinations you can have. Im getting 12 :D

lol.... Deal. Okay now got some questions. This tank was REALLY poorly made, i would like to take it apart and redo it myself with black silicone. Also need some holes in it as this will be my very first tank with a sump on it :D Will 6t5's be good enough? or should i upgrade to halides. I...

lol i want to so badly!

so i was looking around in my shed.... and there it was, my 2ft cube that i never set up.... .......... somebody stop me.

:wub:

thats them, just a diff colour variation.

Update time!! My Tubastrea, its actually cold water, but it seems to be doing well, when diving and saw it lying face down on the ground. my purple goni, this is a progression from when i got it to now very unusual colours torch coral had to get it another unusual colour, these fluffy...

Okay, for the people that got worried and stressed. I just srt up a 20L pod culture. with some filter media in it. Every week i will dunk it in my tank, but i wouldnt say he would ever run out of pods in mine, they are honestly everywhere, and this is his 2nd week and he is fatter than he was in...

yea deff not a bi colour. I got the same one mine is camera shy to. whats your water like? got alot of algea, mine didnt even look like that when it was cycling being uncured. I guess you do have a metal halide

Its just die off from the rock, i guess it could be used as a good sign, or just a normal one. It happens, things on your LR die seeing as it isnt cured. Mine were covered in it, came back beautiful! Completely normal nothing to worry bout. Ski might have to back me up on this, but im pretty...

I have never tested for magnesium in my tanks and they have always run fine. I know its like playing with fire, but i never had a problem. Cept i will be buying one when i can find one, really wanna know every part of my water. But my alk and ca are very stable, the calcium supp i use maintains...

SHE has :P Looks like she would be a beautiful mate for mine! lets hook em up ;)

yes but it will always recover. As i said. mine lived on frozen brine for years assuming there was pods in the tank also, but there may not have been. Regardless, i do see your point, and he will be moving onto a 50gal to spend the rest of his live soon, id much rather him to eat pods than...

its not the size of the tank thats the issue its the pod population in your tank. Alot of them die due to starvation. You have to have a big population, and try get it on frozen, mine is almost eating it so im lucky. he cost $60 AU I will disagree with you here. Unless you stating that they...

i know i am a lovable guy.... oh wait, the mandarin! :P Yea hes is a stunner!

Cant help but take photos of him, he is pretty much posing for me

i wouldnt put bacon in my fish tank :sick: I'd say your best bet is abit of prawn.

i keep track of my alk and calcium dont have a magnesium test kit and i cant find them anywhere

yea, didnt want to burn my rics, and now i got bare minimum for some acro's, dont want heaps just 1 or 2.
