SG is Specific Gravity, 1.020 is specific gravity reading rather than salinity

it is a 2 foot/80litre tank, i plan to have a pair of clown fish in there :good: does a hyrdo meter measure the amount of salt in the tank? Yes a hydrometer will measure salt levels, test it against your lfs one to make sure its nice and accurate

Well done Barney, you can sleep easy now :good: What are you going to do with the little bugger

I think that sand is better as it harbours more life (or so i have read), it is less sharp for the underbellies of certain fish and in my opinion it looks alot better.

Ok thanks Andy i will be sure to set it up like this when i move, unless there are other possibilities, its a little more piping but IMO opinion its much better to be safe then sorry Thanks alot :good: Ozzy47 i tested the method you mentioned and the syphon only stops once the water level...

I understand what you mean Andywg so something Like This: Ozzy47 is your sump tank above your display? If anyone else has an idea please let me know Thanks Again

Ok thankyou ozzy47, does your return pipe enter through the base like mine? Andywg I know this is not great but my tank is already drilled and such so there is not alot that i can do. If anyone else has any ideas please make them heard as im quite worried about it now

Thanks ozzy47, but i thought if the hole with airline in it is below the display tank level thatn it will continue to syphon out of it any way or am i wrong? And Skifletch i have knocked up a quick diagram for you take a look and see if you can make sense of it, sorry for the poor explanation...

Hello there everyone one i just have a quick question for you about the return from my sump to my display tank. My return pipe enters the main display tank through the base in each corner then a rigid spray bar fits on top of them which runs the length of the tank. I was wondering what...

Yeah custom built tanks are good, this place in hertfordshire looks good though i have not had any experience with them they advertise here on Aquarists Classifieds, N D Aquatics - http://www.aquarist-classifieds.co.uk/php/detail62_43606.php It depends on how much money you want to spend...

Ok thankyou very much guys i will go and buy atleast one tomorrow then, and the other whenever i can afford it for when the tank will be set up. i cant wait Cheers for all the help everyone :good:

Ok Thanks, i guess you are right about the rocks breaking up the spraybar flow

Hello all, As you may have seen i posted an earlier post about powerheads and was looking at seio ones but after some comments and furhter investigation i have decided that tunze are better quality and have a considerably lower energy consumption so i have decdided to go with them (glad i asked...

Can i include the flow rate from my return pump in the 20x turnover, because my tank has a spray bar running the length of the tank to spray water through the rocks from behind and is 6500lph with little height to pump upwards, so could i include this?

Thankyou everybody, i noticed that the tunze nano 6045 was recommended by andywg, But on the description this item says for aquarium smaller than mine same applies for the Hydor Koralia would having a few be ok then?

Hello all, I have been looking at powerheads in particular Seio Super flow pumps (the 2600 & 1500) do any of you guys use one of these or have an opinion on them. My tank is roughly 650 liters and was wondering which one you guys think is more appropriate for my tank, the 2600 model gives a...

Yeah he sold it all on ebay. He sold it as lots of 20Kg and 15Kg

Yep I know about rock prices :blink: But the tank wont be set up till next year so i will start saving When my tank is set up i will gradually build up the rock befrore i add fish obviously, so wont be too bad PS - statements like that could give some people a heart attack :rip:

White stringy thing, could be a sea cucumber

Thanks Skifletch

Thanks every one, i think ill go with this one then and make sure to calibrate it accurately, unless anyone has a better, cheap alternative.

Ok these are the only three pics i have at the minute, but im gonna go and collect it tonight so ill try to get a few more soon. These are the ones off of ebay. As you can see from this one this guy has the pipe work running through a wall and his sump etc in the garage, this is what im going...

Ok thanks Musho3210

Ok cheers How do you design a tank for a specific flow rate out of interest?

Thanks SkiFletch :good: Ill take a look

Ok thankyou andywg, I will go for around a 3000ltr return pump then To start with i will just have FOWLR but would like to move onto corals and such gradually so i will probably add to my turnover accordingly cheers Edit - I have just seen a 3500 lph Aquamedic Ocean Runner Pump for £66.95...

Hello again people, As you have probably read from another topic i posted on here i am getting a 6x2x2ft marine aquarium with sump and a few other bits and was wondering about a few things. Mostly about equipment. I beleve that 6x2x2 means that my tank has a volume of 650 liters, please correct...

Didnt mean to post twice :unsure:

Ok thank you guys.

Ok thanks n3ont3tra, you calibrate them using distilled water dont you?

I have seen a salinity refractometer for sale form an online shop for £35 and was wondering if anyone has any experience with these types salinity testers. Do you have one like this? Are they any good? Do you think this is worth it? Heres the link...

I have no idea, but when i saw what it was going for i had to bid, i cant wait to get it now :X

Hello everyone, As you may know from another topic i have recently won a 6x2x2ft marine tank on ebay, that i should hopefully have up and running later in the year after christmas, until then i am going to continue to do my research. As christmas is coming up i thought it would be a good idea...

Im making room for this shibby. ;) Thanks, i take it you like?

Thanks Shibby heres a photo What Do You Think?

No dont worry it doesnt have live stock Im not that mad. It was a reasonable price it comes with 6x2x2 tank, stand and hood,T5 lighting, large sump, filter and prefilter and two TMC V2 1000 skimmers for £360.

I must be insane but about 5mins ago i logged onto eBay as usual to look for a marine tank and the first one I saw was a 6x2x2ft Tank. It had 3mins left on it and after a sudden act of complete and utter craziness, i found my self with a message saying i had won the item :drool: :hyper...

Cheers Guys
