Hi mate i am assuming you are reffering your questions to me although my member/screen name is '1entra' and not 'fishaddict' lol I am using a HOB refugium that i bought off ebay on both of my tanks and it seems to have worked well for me although neither of my tanks are up against the wall so...

And last but not least (for now), some of my acans:

Here are a few slightly better pictures of my set-uo that I have taken using my mobile. Let me know your thoughts. Cat: Pink Zoas: Green Acro: Mulitcolour Lobo: White Pom Pom Xenia: Orange Ricordeas: Green Open Brain: Orange/Yellow Open Brain: Green favia/Favites...

well the top centre of the tank has been left for sps so think that is the way forward for now. and I am also looking to buy a bright blue maxima clam but i have put all buying on livestock on hold for the time being as i am looking to move into a new flat at the end of this month with plans of...

Well here you go a few pics... they do not do the tank any justice i dont think as my photography skills are almost as P*ss poor as my actually camera!!! lol flame angel: Blastos and acans along with others: Left hand side of tank: Centre: Right hand side of...

I'm sorry i have not had chance to update in a while but there have been a few changes. so here is a quick summary: I have upgraded my skimmer from a MCe300 to a MCE600 due to havnig a large bioload. Also I have still been struggling with the cyano i have on the sand bed so have had to cut my...

Get some pics up dude...

Just to add on what seffie has already mentioned sharm, you dont even need a 'tank' if your looking for a cheap option, a large bucket or container that is normally food grade (not been polluted with anything thant can cause harm to the fish) can be used as a quick temporary fix for quarantine...

what are the yellow feathery things in the last pic? are they feather dusters of some sort or some form of algae???

Is she still feeding auryt? and what makes you believe she has got ich in the first place? Cleaner shrimp may posibbly help but I have never really known anyone through personal experience who got rid of ich through a cleaner shrimp alone! Personally I have had ich my my tank twice now and I...

Thanks for the reply Kelwoo, dont worry about it having been awhile as I'm taking things nice and slow as it is, as dont wish to be rushing into anything. and the fact you took time out to reply with a lot of valuable info that has come of good use is highly appreciated. Now back to doing more...

Hi Seffie I have indeed been selling some of my corals of on the u know "dark side" :rolleyes: If your interedted in anything or fancy a bit of a swap for something maybe then send me a pm and we can talk business :shifty: lol Anways guys just a quick update. The cabbage leather coral...

(awaits pics) :)

Just read through you entire journal from start to finish and its got me wanting to set up my very own SH tank. Looking really good :) I know SH can be quite demanding to look after but I would appreciated it if you could quickly just run through your routine for feeding and tank maintainance...

I think you could do with a herbivoreous fish eg. an algae blenny, a dwarf angel or a tang (if tank is big enough), to help you rid of that macroalgae. What are your current params? You may have high PO4 that is feeding it? Also an emerald crab isn't a bad idea, my is always eating away at some...

Oh ok :lol: that would make more sense although the idea of 2 clownfish tryin 2 breed with a cleaner shrimp is quite funny and a clown shrimpfish would certainly be on my list of fish/inverts to get! lol

Some very nice pics mate... so where exactly did u go on holiday?

can clownfish 'breed' with a cleaner shrimp????? The answer to that would be a simple no mate... where did you get that thought from? It is a bit random!!! :)

Thanks for the advice mate, I am currently feeding them directly 2 times a week; once on a thurs and then on sun, do you think this is enough or should I feed more often?? Also I forgot to mention I have recently bought myself a seio 5000L pump along with a koralia 4 (4200L), these are a n...

Im liking the aquascaping mate. Things are coming on nicely. Looking good :)

Both scolymia and cynarina are on my list of corals to get along with a red trachy so il see what comes first. :)

Thanks Sharm. Here are a few more pics: Left side of the tank Right side of tank A few pics of corals etc:

Im liking the lionfish mate. looks very healthy :)

Just curious Tina how much did you pay for the Trikentrion flabelliforme? I remember seeing a few in a fish shop in birmingham last year time and they was selling themat about £25-30 a go, i was really tempted to get one but the shop keepers didnt knowmuch about them so I decided I wouldnt...

Feeding small amounts but often is the best way IMO. You could always feed a bit of flake in the morning and some brine shrimp in the evening. the only thin with BS however is that it does not contain anything thatwill really benefit the fish so feeding on its own is not advised, but you can...

A cataphyllia is aready on my list of corals to get but will go in the bottom right corner as it will have plenty of room to grow wheras in the middle it can sting nearby corals. So any other suggestions...? :unsure:

Guys I know I have not updated for a while and a lot has changed since then, but here is a up to date FTS for your viewing pleasure. As you can see I have got rid of most my large softies and am moving more towards lps and sps but taking it nice and slow. The tank still has a long way to guy...

Deltec MCE600 mate as I believe the MCE300 might be a bit small but all depends on your stocking levels...

Iv had coral warfare go off in my tank before and rather than chance major damange I would personally shift the corals apart a little bit, savesany uncertaintys. Or you could monitor the 2 corals for a da or 2 to see if there are any changes cause could be the coral nit opening just coz it dont...

now theres a thought hey... might help calm it down a bit as well :/

yea its £40 for one at my lfs, so according to the same website you posted, it works out to 65.9621 USD per fish :(

I'm loving the mandarin Tina, it really is a beautiful fish and I have been eyeing one up for several months now at the lfs but still not sure if to buy it or not as supposed to be hard to look after and keep fed... does yours eat frozen food? and how hard you finding it to keep? i really am...

I am not sure wether that is good or not on the other side of the pond but my lfs is selling them at approx £40 if i remember correctly and that to me it quite expensive for such a small little fish! :(

Yea thought so Tiger, thing is I really like my tang and last thing I want is to cause it alot of stress and have it fall ill and have another ich outbreak in the tank so might have to give that a miss. coming to think about it however I might add the new angel to the breeding net instead, this...

Are you also from leicester like youngfisher ali? if so then i suggest you visit Clearwater aquatics on Green Lane Road, they are quite a decent marine fish store with a lot of variety of both fish and corals and the staff seem to know what they are talking about. You can have a look at the fish...

Its always horrible when you lose a fish so sorry to hear about the clown, glad to see the other one in clearing up well though. Got to say however i am loving the pair of yasha gobys. I have wanted one for a long time now but they are quite expensive at my lfs so keeping an eye out for a...

The tank is looking good mate and i agree with the others comments with regards to the new aquascaping, it does look alot better and makes better use of the tank space you have. Also I really like the flameback, I used to have one in my tank till i lost most of my livestock through whitespot but...

Well the tang was one of my last fish to be added initially and i brought it quite small and I did not have any problems with it. But since then not only has it grown but due to all my other fish being killed off due to whitespot, the tang along with a firefish and PJ cardinal were the only fish...

well i have got a HOB fuge on ma tank but i think it is quite full with cheato at the minute so i do not think there would be much room in there to keep the tang, but coming to think about is i mite have some net traps lieing around somewhere that i used to use when breeding livebearers several...

Yea your right about the wrasse being too quick and it dont help with my photography skills not being brill either unlike some of you good people on here. I got to admit however my wrasse looks very very similar to the pic of Buddyboy's, although I must admit the blue on the fins on mine isnt as...
