My Tnk Has Come :)

[robbhp]

it is because of the semi hard pipe work, it is made up of plastic ribs, and on each end it has some rubber boots glued on. these boots slid over the filter output, which are then clamped in place with some jubley crazy clips . this is all well and good when that is the only linkages you need, but when you then need to cut the pipe to hook it up to somthing, the pipe work is to hard and will not mold around the fittings, thus alowing water to shoot every were . just placed an order for some new tube though so it should all be good soon

many thanks Rob

Rob, you'd be better served with a Refractometer.

well the day has come, i got my live rock today . it is so very very nice, loads of purple algy, and zoos a few blue mushes, fan worms. one crab (at the mo) two bristle star. loads of little things that are moving about on the rock. and one clam type thing. looks more like an oyster, than a clam but very cool . any way going to get loads of pic tonight and will get them all posted up in the morn for you this is soooo much fun.


also i am running the PH04 remover already to try to cut down the algy bloom. well that is the plan, i have also bought some red grape and one other red alg which name escapes me at the mo ment

yep you are so right, my local shop had sold out of trefractometers. so the had to sell me the swing arm type. but it is a very nice glass unit and looks very well made, they also made sure that it was right , by compairing it to there refractometer .

well many thanks for every ones help thus far but i think it is going to get much harder from now on out

Rob the problem with swing arm hydrometers is they tend to drift over time so as long as you periodicaly check it is still calibrated correctly you wont have a problem. Many don't let you re-calibrate when they do drift though.
