this is the Berlin method, I'm sorry to say that I'm a total noob to this. is there anyway you could please explain the process to me using layman's terms. so far i seem to understand that the live rock does the part of the biological filtration and a skimmer to remove waste, and a vac up when...

buying a tank not too sure of the volume but id hazard a guess at about 250 l, its dimesions are 36x24x18 in a bit of a rush so i cant calculate the volume just yet. i want a filter for it. in my other thank i have a fluval 305, which i have no problems with but alot of people use eheim who...

i agree with the above, your tank is still immature alot of people have algae problem in the early days. i have heared alot of people use rowaphos (i think thats what its called) never used it myself but from what i can gather you place it in your fluval and it removes phosphates which i presume...

my bi colour goes almost completely white once in a while but i think this is due to stress, its home is in a hole in a rock which happens to be right under my anemone and the hosting clowns try and shoo it away every now and again stressing it out but after at the most a couple of Min's it...

I'm after a tank, i quite like the look of the cubeish style something like 24 wide by 24 inches deep if you know what i mean, I'm not too bothered about the length. any body seen anything going?

scrap that idea this aint gonn be a nano...

i have actually just bought a 400w halide off ebay for £30 apparently its just had a new lamp fitted but I'm not too sure what the temp is of it, pick it up on Sunday. the size and throw of the light i guess will determine the size of tank i will be getting (which wont be a week or 2 yet) I'm...

i want to culture a piece of my toadstool mushroom, i have done a little bit of reading and well my question is that everywhere it says to attcach a piece of mushroom to a piece of live rock - well my tank is made up of about 75% live rock and 25% tufa rock, all my live rock is in stinking great...

havet read anything about magnesium and clams im in intreeged have you got a link to an article or something?

awesome by the looks of it we have near identical tanks lol i have a rio 240 with the same lights as you, have you tried clams in yours?

thanx for the info, so what would you recomend 3 blue tubes and one white?

insane good or bad lol i know they are not the best inhabitants but i love the colour been up since last sept (06) started out as a fish only system due to lack of funds lol

i have an arcadia 4 tube t5 unit with 2 blue and 2 white, just wondering is changing to 3 blue and 1 white or other variations i could increase the intensity of the lighting to better suit inverts that prefer halide lighting ie clams etc. of course halides are a the ideal option but my inlaws...

went down to aqua scope today, fairly big shop nice selection of dry goods too.

what sort of fan would one use? would a lil portable one you get from anywhere do?

and how does it perform? what size did you go for? am i missing something here because to buy one of these and change the bulb is hundreds of pounds cheaper than buying a complete unit from a shop - is it as easy as that?

no like i said just fascinated. wouldnt have the heart to hurt it lol

i dont want to/need to just intreaged which pecies does it and if anybody has witnessed it.

i agree with the powerheads suggestion but having power heads doesnt mean you cant keep anemones just prefable. it WILL mince it if it goes into the inlet yes. what is LO lighting? the foot 'might' of been damaged when bagging the anemone it was'nt damaged in the display tank so diagnosing a...

everyone knows that starfish can regenerate lost limbs and some species can regenerate as long as part of their body/disc is still intact, are any of these species easilly available to the aquarist, has anybody witnessed it? is it un ethical? how is it done, scalpel?

thnx!

http://www.commercial-lamps.co.uk/acatalog/Floodlights.html would these lights work with the metal halide bulbs designed for aquarium use were fitted, keeping the wattage the same?

i dunno really i have some green star polyps and some pulsing xenia both sound like ideal starters.

hi im a total novice to fraging just want to make sure this is correct as its goin againt the grain in my head, super glue as in the stuff you buy from asda is ok in your reef tank? hmmm. and another thing how do you apply it? presumable it has to be dry? im sure dry inverts aren't good! i...
