Yf Can Taste The Salt..

Ah, cheers for that Ian.
I will wait till the cycles complete then get one.
Well, hopefully.
We will see what the readings are etc.
I expect to have major die off, as one of the peices of LR from seffie was completly dry as it was accidently out of water, but im not bothered as these sort of things happen. Its all about the waiting game now.
:p

Thanks for the nice comments.
Shelagh, have you never thought about going marine?

YF
 
yeah i have actually.. but i just cant afford it for now ( and its not become something i dream about as yet-unlike more oscar tanks), i love my cars too much.. oh then theres the kids to feed :lol: ( priorities lol)

one day when theyve left home im going to move into a house in a country lane with 2 old emglish sheep dogs,and a few oscars and a marine tank...but till that i day i can just watch you do a fab job :)
 
Aah thats the dream shelagh!
You know what to be honest, I know I got a bargain but its not as dear as everyone thinks IMO.
But hey, im abit stupid with my money so I guess its better.

Seffie, the big crab you got me is it a coral muncher? Just that I noticed one on of the mushrooms it looks like it has had a bite
out of it, and its constantly crawling on the corals. Also the one coral one a peice of rock that I got off the guy, well I thought the rock had just been turned over but its actually dissapeard. I am noticing new heads all over the place, are these ok to just pick up and move into the desired place?

Seffie, the big crab you got me is it a coral muncher? Nope :good: Just that I noticed one on of the mushrooms it looks like it has had a bite out of it, and its constantly crawling on the corals. he will settle down but they do crawl over corals, he is probably looking for food.

Also the one coral one a peice of rock that I got off the guy, well I thought the rock had just been turned over but its actually dissapeard. Weird and rather odd

I am noticing new heads all over the place, are these ok to just pick up and move into the desired place? yes indeed

Did you like the little book and the tube thingy is for drip acclimatising, the battery powered air stone is for power cuts - I have used it once

Seffie x

ps forgot to say that I am liking that scape a lot, better than mine was
 
I am Liking that scape a lot, cave is really cool :good:
My emerald crab ate all the grass stuff with in days, but just a word of caution, they can move LR :crazy:
 
I tried to make the rock as sturdy as I could, (well my dad did :p)
Seffie, I forgot to thank you for that book! I was reading through it last night, I also used that air pump and put it in the container with your LR in to keep water movement, thanks for that.
Oooh, Now I know what that pipe is for :p I removed that blue thing and placed it somewhere, but I forgot where lol.
I will find it.

I just tested the tank for ammonia, and its light blue, so I dont know what the reading is? As there are no light blues it goes from dark blue to a sudden yellow. (Im using the hagen box kit) I think I might need a new one tbh. Also, I just moved a couple of heads from the bottom of the tank onto a rock, they seem to be sulking I hope my dad didnt kill them, as he picked them up with a grabber kind of thing. Im hoping its just sulking.

hey hey hey!

loving the scape mate, fantastic job!
sorry to reply so late ^^

Bagu :good:
 
Thanks for the kind words.
Has anyone moved coral heads before?
And if im moving them with the grabber thing and just resting them on a rock, will they attach themselfs ?

YF
 
I used elastic bands on my xenia to attach it to rocks but super glue Gel on Zoas
 
Fair enough.
They are opened up, I have put them in a little crack in the rocks and they have opened up.
My ammonia was around 0.3 is this good?

YF
 
Ammonia should be 0 :crazy: you are obviously getting a mini cycle, keep a check on nitrIte and nitrAte too :nod:
