Clownfish!

[xxBarneyxx]

1.5" - tiny little things.
Had a bad day the other day - can I suggest that ANY gaps in the roof/lid are covered up? cloth/tape/perspex, whatever. My female jumped, through a gap that (I presume it was that gap) was about 11mm wide. They're great little fish though huh?

I would second covering your tank, especially if its not very deep. I had a small clown jump through about a 1" square cut out of the egg crate cover (the only spot on the whole tank where there was a gap big enough for it to get through!).

ive got a lid so its not all that bad, i will use some tap to cover up the holes in the back where the equipment comes in, thanks for your help. And yes, the clownfish are awesome, first marine fish i have brought and im very pleased, mine cost £16 for the pair so for the price they are even better

ooh, and ive got my RO unit working, producing 0 TDS water, although after 1 use the TDS meter isnt turning on, ive contacted the company i purchased it from so hopefully it can be resolved- it cant be the batteries really, apparently they have a life of 2 years.

thanks guys!

yes it is, currently about 1.019, i want to run the ro water changes through the tank for a good few weeks before getting my live rock, and at the point the s.g should be 1.024.

sorry i havnt updated the original journal, although as ive finished my exams now i am going to start a journal on the salty side

Just sorted a few things out. Brought:

Koralia nano powerhead

Test kits-salifert.

Lighting: This consists of a new 15w ballast, so my total lighting will now be: 35w, and the tubes are all t6, 40% more light than t8, so should help the cause for corals.

i have also got to decide on phosphate remover(and quantity), and rock putty(and quantity),

i havnt a clue!

Take a look at phosban, its cheaper than rowaphos and seems just as good


Errr, you have tested your water and got a reading of TDS 0 where is the photo, we have a bit of a tradition, take a photo please when you get a new battery
