Hey thanks Sparky, they are definitely my favourites in the tank. It all ended badly though. All the fry were eaten. Each morning when I got up to check there were less each time. However, mum and dad are at it again! I noticed some more fry this afternoon. I have a tiny 14 litre tank with...

Thankyou, thankyou. It was a very proud moment when I realised. And then came the thoughts of what do I do. All the others fish have stayed away but if they get too close mum or dad will chase them away. No-one has been hurt so far. I've decided to let nature take her course. I have...

I have a mix of cichlid's in my 67gal tank and I noticed the other day that two of the 3 jewel's have paired off and started a family! Below is Mum and Dad. It's not a great shot but the best I could do in a rush. And now the babies So far they are terrific parents, there must be at...

Cool, thanks very much.

Hey there, I'm looking at getting one of these. A battery powered multivac seems to be a great idea but I can't find any reviews and whether they are any good or just a bit of junk. Has anyone got one or tried one? I have a 66gal tank and I think this doovalackey would be pretty handy. So...

Howdy peeps, After too many years to count of keeping tropical fish, I decided that it was time to give SW a go, I stripped down my 4ft tank and promptly changed my mind (it's a Gemini thing). I want to try keeping Discus so I have re-installed everything. After filling up my tank and adding...

Thanks for all the posts guys. Unfortunately, there's no such thing as Home Depot in Oz so I guess I'll be buying a tonne of aragonite from the lfs :x

Hidily ho neighbourino's!! Can someone tell me what actually comprises a DSB? Sand, aragonite or both? Can I get sand from a Hardware shop? And how deep is a DSB anyway? Sorry too many red wines :P but any answers appreciated nonetheless

No worries mate :)

Thanx pipples!! And just for the record I'm not a sir, I'm a woman :D I'm still in research stages so protien skimmer, powerheads etc I know I have to get. I'm also planning to have another filter to aid water turnover p/hour

I think I'm on the right track here but please correct me if I'm wrong. Am I right in thinking that if I have a DSB and LR I won't need to have any media in my cannister filter and just use it to cycle the water? The cannister cycles about 264gal p/hr. The tank is 67gal so I'm figuring I'll...

Hi again, I'm using a Via Aqua 650 (they're now called Aqua one) and was wondering what type of filter media must be in there (ceramic noodles, etc). Also, the LR bought from LFS's, is it cured or uncured generally? If it is cured, can I put it straight in the tank? I'm still in the research...

thanks darb :) next q: I can get seawater from my LFS is this ok or should I mix my own with synthetic sea salt.

Hi all, I am another one making the change from FW to SW. I have done heaps of research but am still a bit confused about some things so please forgive any daft questions. To start, it will be FOWLR, reef comes later. The tank is 48x18x18 which is about 67gal (I think, in Australia we use...
