Thanks Fishfreek. Dude, do you ever sleep??? 8O

Thanks for the response. After posting my question, I have also realised that the flow rate on the MJ1200 would not suffice. Do you think this wavemaker design could be plumbed into the return from a sump? or would you keep it seperate? Thanks again! :wink:

After having a look at the design on this site http://www.melevsreef.com/closedloop.html I am thinking of building one of these, but was wondering if a maxijet 1200 would work in this setup. Not sure if the MJ can be out of the water as this would be. Anyone know if my pump will work on this? TIA

Thanks for the PH advice, although the BTA seems to be set in his location and that nothing is going to be moving him soon. He is not as close to the PH as the photo looks. The clowns were wild caught.

Got the BTA from the LFS for £28. As ogden10 said, stings affect different people differently. I had no problem at all with this one. More good news is that second clown has joined and they seem to be having more fun than ever!

BTA is huge! Hopefully the other clown will join him soon!

Hi All, Well after a week of no interest, one of my clowns decided my BTA was a good place to move home to! I am really happy and thought I would share a pic or two. Comments welcome! Cheers Brett

Hi all, Just wanted to know thoughts on this. Having a bit of a problem with surface scum (not major) and was thinking of getting a surface skimmer attachment similar to this one: http://www.aquaticeco.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/product.detail/iid/13892/cid/3869 connected to my powerhead which I...

Thanks for the help. I am basically waiting for the cycle to complete and will then top up the rock with LR. Water sources is tap water, but I guess you figured that already! Fish are quite hardy: 2X Domino Damsels 1 X Electric Blue Damsel 1 X Yellow Tail I know the fish are agressive...

OK here we go: Tank: 50 gallons Juwel Rio No Live Rock No skimmer yet +- 20kg ocean rock Filters: Juwel tanks come with a built in in tank filter. These are running pads in my setup Also an Ehiem ecco 2232 with bio balls and pads return via a spray bar One Maxijet 1200 ph Test kits are all...

No UV Filter... Does this sound long to you aswell?

Tank is 50 gallons. Fish used to cycle. Ammonia been down for about a week and a half.

Hi All, Just a quick question about the time I can expect a nitrite spike to last in my tank. I have seen the ammonia spike come and go, ammonia now at 0, but the nitrite seems to be pegged and not moving. It has been over 3.3mg/L for the past 2 weeks. The tank has been cycling for almost 6...

Thanks all...

It's a 48 gallon...

Hi All, Thanks for the help in the past. I have a question about having to move a tank about 4cm. This is my first setup and have my tank almost completed it's cycle. My ammonia is at 0 and Nitrites are dropping. I was told not to install a protein skimmer during the cycling, but rather to...

Damsels = punks - Tell me about it. I have two Domino's, two Yellow Tails and a Blue Damsel. The Dominos are full of it! The even have a go at my hand while I am working on the tank! Thanks for the advice re waiting...

Hi All, Well I am 3 weeks in now and still seeing some strange test results: Ammonia: 1.5 Nitrites: 1.0 Both haven't changed much in the three weeks. I have started testing for Nitrates, and have found that stays at around 30. Is it normal for these levels to stay the same?

Thanks DaveBeaty! :wink:

Hi everyone. Thanks for the help so far. I have recently started a SW setup and have had a few questions answered already. I have something that I would like to clear up: While cycling a tank using fish, a PWC would be beneficial to the livestock by diluting the levels of ammonia and...

Thanks austinsdad. I did read through your document, but was a bit baffled by the increase in nitrites during this period. 8O I did test for both during the first six days. Tested about every second day (perhaps more). Both were reading 0. Cheers Brett
