Hi Richard   I can't advise in terms of thickness other than to say on my old 750 litre tank it had polystyrene about an inch thick.   What are your stocking plans for the tank?

I bred mine earlier on this year when I had a reef. They look amazing when babies a perfect replica of the adults. I lost a few to the male who I had in the sump recouperating from holding the babies for so long and the ones that survived I raised in a chamber in the sump. I fed them pods and...

waspfish are ace not seen them for about 10 years!! Have you still got them?

Massive oddball fan but I no longr have the space or tanks for them. Favourite oddballs I have kept are  Clown Knifefish Fire eel Gymnothorax Tiles Toadfish Giraffe Cat Spotted Gar Ornatapinis Bichir

puffers just bite no matter what I've tried a few different types with different tank mates and its just in their nature and they have a nasty bite

any pics of your violet goby. I kept these years ago and great fish they are. If I had the capacity for a spare tank I'd get these in a shot they look sp gruesome but are such lovely peaceful fish

Your silvber dollars would be fine. I had about 8 large ones in a shoal in my old 150g tank and they looked amazing.

I'd try mussels. Brackish pufers I kept in the past loved them

I have 17 cardinals and was thinking about getting two 2-3 inch firemouths. I've kept them many times in the past but with bigger fish. What are they like with small tetras

which snowflake is it? the bracksh one or the marine one?

good point above. If you have them on the tablets then you are set.   You need to get him back on pellets. In my own experience with Bichirs they can go a while whilst being weaned on to a new food but will take the pellets if and when hungry

I had brackish tanks years back when there seemed to be more brackish fsh for sale, toadfish, Gymnothorax Tiles, Waspfish, puffers, gobies etc and some I bought from freshwater tanks that the fish seemed to be suffering in but appeared so much healthier in brackish.

WHATS YOUR HARDNESS LIKE?

make sure you get decent live rock that looks very porous and rather than big lumps of rock. I would always recomend a lot of flow in a marine tank too

RTS can be moody buggers but in my opinion are all bark and no bite. I wouldnt worry about it

happy days. I love stories of surprise breeding like that. I may get some otos for my new set up

having kept lionfish both dwarf and volitans I can only say dont bother with live fish. They hunt down a wiggling frozen silverside so save some cash, be more humane and feed frozen food.   Great fish I loved mine and the dwarf which was a fuzzy was a model citizen with some really quite small...

gorgeous fish

welcome,, what was the other forum?

they are cheaper but I am after a discus set up?

a pic of the L25 I meant :)

berghia nudibranches are quite common in the shops and do eat aiptasia but they are quite difficult to keep from being eaten or swept in to powerheads as they are so flimsy

Have you got a pic? I'd like an L24 more, I've had a couple of L25s over the years but not an L24

just done a bit more digging and they seem to have come down in price, the larger examples I have seen for sale going for £150 to £200 when about 5 years ago theyd have gone for £400 plus

Are the above two plecs still available to buy? Been a few years since I kept fresh but I recall them appearing again in small sizes just as I was leaving freshwater fish.   I'd love another when I set up again?   Simon

He is lovely. would look ace in a non bare tank

T1 your tank remains stunning. I remember this thread from when it started and now I am using the forum again I am made up you still post and have the aquarium still running. You have my dream in your house

I've kept them a few times in the past and am slowly winding my reef down to keep them again.   Lots of people say you can keep them better with bare bottom but it doesnt look like a nice set up IMO . I like discus with giant vallis and will be setting mine up that way with bog wood in there...

lovely looking snakes I miss mine a lot and wish I could get another

looks nice mate cheers. Angels are great but I've always leaned towards discus

hes lovely. A royal was my first snake too although mine was just a normal patterned one. Nightmare feeding males over winter when they go in to find a lady mode!! Are you getting him onto rats? harder to get them taking rats but far more goodness in them that mice.

I need some inspiration! I'm thinking of going back to freshwater fish and fancy these again.   Can I see your set ups if anyone keeps them   Simon

I've not kept freshwater fish for about 3 years and may change my reef to fresh and if so may keep these.   Can you still get these as easily as you used to? There was a time when they were being bred quite often

done. I'd love the lynx to be reintroduced

it will be fine with the gourami. BGKs are lovely fish, They do grow quite large but after an initial race to about 7 inch or so it slows down. They will take tetra size fish but I would not describe them as aggressive or boisterous. Ive kept them with discus in the past and in an oddball tank...

I cant assist with technical details but Ive had three reefs with t5s and my current reef has LEDs and after 18 months of using them I'm much happier with the them. Very easy to control and I'm getting good growth etc

what kind of puffer are you talking about?

Love the hognose. Always wanted one when I kept snakes and regret never doing so.

Love Junes set up, looks amazing

A hard choice because nothing majorley stands out as being spectacular IMO but the discus is a lovely fish and decent pic so gone for that one
