    White Shards on the glass

    No they are static but seem to be spreading :( I was dosing it due to low calcium and low magnesium aswell as low PH so this powder raised all three of these levels! I am also planning on adding corals as soon as I have stocked up and placed my rock how I would like it! Not sure how well you can...

    White Shards on the glass

    Hi guys, just recently I have discovered white shard like objects which seem to be scattered around the inside of the glass of my 45gal marine FOWLR tank! I'm starting to become increasingly worried, even though my levels haven't been thrown off track but it is still unpleasant to the eye! I...

    Hahaha, I was beginning to fear that! This is going to sound real daft but is there anywhere you would recommend to fit in the tank?

    Ahh for the time-being I'll be okay then due to having no corals and not planning on having them until my water levels have settled down and this algae has died down, also wouldnt mind stocking my tank a bit more. for my 45 gal (190litres) woult the 8000L jabao unit (WP25) be too powerful?

    thanks for your reply, I am seriously considering a wavemaker now for when I have spare cash. does it matter on which rate of flow you set it at? If so how do you know how to set it?

    Thank you for your help again, I won't be getting a larger tank for quite some time but am looking into it for the parents! Now you mention it I think it would be a better option having the 45g as a reef! On the topic of powerheads would you say to get a wavemaker instead of a standard...

    What litre per hour turn over would I be looking for when it comes to powerheads, am I right in saying its the 6100 ones for my current tank (45G), also would it be beneficial to run a wavemaker aswell or is that just the same as the powerheads (may be a stupid question, but on here there's no...

    I have certainly been shopping in the wrong places! Where do you guys find things like this? I paid £120 for my 45g and stand with a ****** filter so ended up spending £80 on another external filter £30 on steraliser few hundred on fish, about a £100 so far on live rock! EXPENSIVE...

    Wanted: Wanted protein skimmer, powerheads and lighting

    Hi Guys and girls, I am currently running a nice 45G FOWLR saltwater tank and am desperate need of a decent skimmer and a set of powerheads and some new lighting (possibly)! I want the protein skimmer to sit externally as I don't want it taking up any room inside the tank. Let's see what you...

    Top 5 saltwater fish you'd love to own

    Blue-faced angel Clown Trigger LionFish My 45g tank wouldn't be anywhere suitable for these and I don't think my fish would be quote so hearty to me if I introduced a Lion to the tank partially because I doubt I would see them again!

    Beginner aquarist!

    Ahh panic over! I have been adding a couple of kilos at a time. I can't afford to do it any other way haha! I need to get some powerheads and ideally an external protein skimmer, don't want it taking up anymore of the little room I have in my tank! What skimmers and heads would you recommend...

    Your tank looks amazing! What do you mean cure your liverock before putting it into your tank? I have a few pieces in my tank, they were already matured when I brought them, they are a nice purple colour but I just put them straight into my tank. Have I done wrong by doing this? I am so...
