Snake sorry dude not been on in a while ... what can I help you with?

I found this site useful http://angelfish.info/

you do know they have forecast snow for Friday? :S :sad: :sad:

How long have you had the tank set up? have you changed your media in the filter? have you cleaned the filter recently with tap water?

Ebay would be your best bet, I have just purchased 2 starter units for less than £30. :good:

I have found this program useful when setting up new and old tanks. The file is on Mediafire here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/9osa0m3pp2a3eel/My%20Aquarium%20V4.xlsm For those users of Microsoft Office XP and 2003 Excel, here is the xls file: (Remember, xls files are much larger than xlsx...

Personally I would not put Endlers or Guppies in there because the tiger barb will be nipping at their tails, may be better with Rummynose or tetras of a similar nature

What kind of filtration are you using?

I have learned the hard way buddy, a marine set up is not to be rushed, when you see these beautiful flourishing tanks they have been built up over years. But as they say perfection is never rushed.

A normal cycle for any tank can be anything from 1 week up to 5 weeks, depending on the conditions, but every time you add anything to the tank you will get spikes in your readings, as the micro organisms adjust to the new levels. What you need to do is to test your water over a period of a...

This one you mean

You got it, an awful lot has changed since then, but thats for another thread, good to see you guys again

There could be many reasons for this.. Introduced too early (tank not cycled) Introduced too fast (just putting the fish straight in without acclimatising first) Already a dying fish from the shop to name but a few. Clowns are a hardy fish and many people use them to cycle a tank, preference...

Hi all I have been away for far too long but just thought I would let you know I am back.

Sorgan that sound a more cival way of doing it, I realy cant see me whacking them with a chissel :sly:

I know what your saying Seffie but I would like to see it done before I attempt it, just to be sure :hey:

Sorgan this piece is around 3 x 4 inch with about 200 or so heads, so I could get you a piece as soon as I can read more about fragging these things safely and I feel comfortable to do it.

No mate the filter spray bar is enough I think, I shall see how they go

new update.... could not resist some knew corals today Pulsing Xenia White star and a Medusa by the way have you noticed how the photos have improved slightly, with great thanks to this forum, I found the thread on taking better photos (what a great thread :hyper: ) still not quite...

Harry hve a look at this journal it is great to show you what you need http://www.fishforum...seahorse-setup/

Hi Seffie been working more hours than there are in a day. (has to be done to maintain these tanks :hyper: ) Had a week off this week so trying to catch up on things.

Harry I understand what your saying but my filter spray bar evens the flow for me, is not good to have a couple of places with less flow so you can put corals that dont like a lot of flow there.

I have a 3000lt power head plus the filter bar which is giving good circulation but I would not of thought it would be ideal for Xenia, yes it would be adequate but I realy think I need a second power head.

Thanks Sorgan that is useful to know about the feathers, The Zoa's I know what you mean I have seen some real beutes out there. Xenia is another 1 I have been looking at but I am not sure I have enough flow for them

Yes Harry I have been using "Salifert - Coral Food" recommended by the LFS, I must say thouh since it has been in the subtrate it does come out a lot more than when it was in the tube. I have seen an orange plate so that may be an option

Sorry to here about the first clown dude, but the ones you have now are looking good. :good:

Thank's Harry no problem here you go and also added a shot with the blue light (bit blur though :angry: ) what would you suggest to get a bit of colour in there, I was thinking in the line of some yellow polyps or a pink colliflower or somthing on those lines, anything that is not green cus...

Guys update....sorry its been a few weeks but busy as a bee. Anyway I have now added a few things... CUC started with 3 x hermits (2 blue legs and think the other is a scarlet did ask for 3 blue, still bonus eh) and a couple of turbo snails, and recently have added Manuel my shrimp. sorry...

Sounds good but you are not leaving much room to work with

So I have got my self a cople of black clowns to go in my tank They seem happy so far.

As promised Liam

Seffie thank you for that I am presuming we need to let the little critters build up a bit more before the shrimp

Cough....Cough.... Sry for butting in but aint this my thread :lol: Seffie the tank that is now hers is the 90lt which is already running but she is going to revamp it as it is looking a little bare, and I will make sure she starts a thread of her own. anyway update to mine... been testing...

AK I do appologise mate but incase you hadn't guessed Minnie me is my daughter :rolleyes:

I am loving that idea AK, have already told my youngest (6) if he dont behave he will be in there with it LOL Liam as soon as the weekend comes no problem mate (working night..... long nights)

So best to let it die then as I dont have the lighting to support an anemone, or take to the LFS

Sorgan thank you for that I will keep a close eye on it to the point I had a look today and I have found an Hitch hiker. an invert of some sort I am trying to find it on the internet without much luck, as it is not in any of my books. This was not there yesterday when I checked the water stats...

I hate to say this guys but they are not cynotilapia afra for the reason of the stipes on the body continue on the dorsel, where as mine dont the dorsel has 1 long stripe. So still looking but thank you guys anyway.

Wheeler I have just started on the salty side and so far I have spent just over £400, but that included the tank (fluval25), the only thing I see missing in your list is the LR and skimmer which I am not realy experienced enough to say you realy need, these were recommended to me by the LFS when...

Guys you say that you sometimes get fed up of answering the same questions, and if I was as experienced as you guys I probably would agree, Now being new to the salty side of things the type of questions I would be asking would be about what equiptment to use or what kind of stocking is...
