Cool yeah send the links this way!

Iv come to a complete standstill with the tank until I have been on me jollys lol! Iv been looking at sand haven't got a clue, I want fine sand! But people say it causes problems but may just go ahead and get it and deal with the problems later on lol! Iv decided on my stock! One black and White clown one orange, a yellow clown goby, a bi colour blenny, cleaner shrimp, hermits various snails and a pom pom crab!! They are hilarious!

I think that fine sand is awsome looking. Its so worth the after effects. I wish I could redo my sand bed in my 30 but its 2yr old. I want to do fine sand in my 65 that im setting up in a few months. And your stock list is awsome nice picks

 

[Mjpendrey]

Oh and I shall be getting a sun coral aswell in the future!

 

[scubasteve03]

On that note have you seen the black sun coral, man I love those

 

[Mjpendrey]

Yeah maybe get one of those eventually but gonna go for the bright on to start and see how well that goes!

Just saw ur tank pics. Nice setup! Have fun figuring out what u want in it. I thought I knew what I wanted. But I'm still changing things around from time to time. Don't think I'll ever be completely satisfied. But that's part of what makes reef keeping interesting

Duncans are similar to Sun corals if you don't want to feed each head

 

[Mjpendrey]

I can't wait till iv been on my hols so I can get back and set this baby up! Thanks gonna look into the duncans now!

 

[Mjpendrey]

Holler nobody out there?

 

[GoldieLocks1]

Bonjourr. So have you got anything new since I have been away?

 

[Mjpendrey]

No sadly tank has been put on hold, iv been ill, work loads and a holiday to save for and car broke down lol! Wasn't my week so tank has to wait abit longer! I can't wait though, how about you?

 

[GoldieLocks1]

Awww man! That sucks. At least you are going on holiday! I have a question, do you know how to work the lights? Like..is there a timer for them or anything?

 

[Mjpendrey]

No mine just has two switches, wanna hook mine upto a timer but don't know how, most threads say it frys the hood on the tank. :/

 

[Nomadu571]

Can you not just buy a plug timer, to turn the plug on and off at certain times? Assuming the lights have their own plug. Works for my turtle tank, got it from the pound stop too dude, cheap and effective.

 

[Mjpendrey]

That's what I was thinking but not sure if that's what's frying the lights?

 

[Nomadu571]

If a plug timer is frying the lights then I think u have a serious wiring problem. Turning the plug on and off once a day shouldn't burn the hood out? Thats all a plug timer does.
