    Funks Rio 125 Endeavour!

    My turbos are crap :lol: well not crap but they just love my rock and glass. I got a fighting conch and he does the business regarding sand so he has been a good investment. Although he hasn't moved today :( i'm hoping he hasn't been attacked in the night by my monster electric blue hermit.

    Lights On Or Off.

    Unless the fish etc.. has been shipped in a box in darkness then IMO there is no need to turn lights out. If they have been shipped in darkness i try to keep it dark when first unpacking them etc.. Obviously if it is a nervous fish by nature it will help them settle in better if you keep the...

    Does My Plan Sound Ok

    I used Salifert until recently when i spoke to a scientist who works on testing all different kits and develops them himself. He said Salifert are not worth the extra money and are poor tests basically and half of them don't work. He wasn't trying to sell any other product to me so i see no...

    Oh No, Not Another Question

    My clown juvies feed well on flake, frozen mysis and brine. I try to only feed brine once or twice a week though because its not brilliant for there nutrition. Also like George says, don't worry if they stay in a corner for a few days. Mine lived next to the heater for around 10 days but now...

    Phos Remover

    The internet says alot of things fishy .. doesn't mean its right :) With many things in marine(and life in general) somebody will make a bold statement about something, somebody reads it and takes it as gospel and then it spreads like wildfire. There are lots of false beliefs in marine fish...

    My Ocean In A Box :)

    Agree Andy, I had a hour long (maybe more) talk with the owner of the abyss yesterday and he said the same thing regarding copperbands and other difficult fish to get feeding.

    My Ocean In A Box :)

    No not given up the idea Andy :) just got the scopas because he was tiny and only £15 plus they said i could take him back once he outgrows my tank. I plan on upgrading before he grows to much anyway. He seems very happy in my tank and is feeding well on pretty much anything i put in the tank...

    Juwel 240 Powerhead

    Rio 240 is 240 litres so your want at least 4800 LPH minimum. Id would go slightly higher and go for maybe 3 or 4 powerheads at either 1600/1800/2000 lph.
