puffers can go well with triggerfish and have great personalities. Just make sure there isnt a huge size difference.

The overflow is going to be drilled, but not sure what the flow will be rated at. i'll have to find out from the tank builder this week. But thanks again Tecwzrd for helping me with the tunze decision. I'm sure i'll be asking many more questions in the coming weeks

Thanks again everyone The sump is going to be a 4x18x18, undecided about a return pump yet, i'll see what the tank builder suggests. any suggestions on a gpl for the return? Yeah i think i'll go with a pair of the 6060's though

Thanks for the reply I am pretty set on getting Tunze pumps as i like the wide flow, and i like it that they can be concealed in the tunze rocks. i constantly fight a battle with snails on my pumps leading to very loud vibrations. So basically i'm after a pump that is going to be reliable and...

Hey, Setting up a 5x2x2 mixed reef, just wanted to get some opinions on some tunze pumps. don't necessarily need the controllable ones, so would you recommend 2 tunze 6080's, or would 2 tunze 6060's be enough. Also, does having them in the Tunze rocks make the pump louder? Thanks

Definately my valentini puffer. So much personality!

Black percs are around the same price as orange percs in Australia. I think they are cuter as well!

Hey Guys, I bought this coral a few weeks ago, and I haven't been able to find out what it is yet. Its like all individual mushrooms or something attached to the one rock. It never really closes up or anything.. Heres a pic.. sorry about the blurriness. ill take more if you need it. If...

What do you guys think of this... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/DIGITAL-3-IN-1-SALINITY-METER-FROM-AQUA-MATE-NEW_W0QQitemZ280014402431QQihZ018QQcategoryZ46310QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Or should I just get a normal refractormeter?

At the moment I've set up a QT to treat a fish with copper, who is recovering from ich. Everything is going fine and the fish should be back in my main within two weeks. My question is... I've been very very careful not to contaminate the water in my main tank with the copper water from my QT...

wait.... isn't that too many big fish? if not, im getting those fish for my 75g too!

Thanks for the advice guys. I didn't mean to start a war! Hehe. Don't really quite understand how the Coral Banded's arm will just reappear, but they are very interesting creatures so it'll be interesting to see. Thanks

I've had my puffer and shrimp for about 2-3 months now. Neither has shown any interest towards my corals or snails. My LFS said the longnose shouldn;t eat my corals, and if it does it will only peck. not completely destroy. The clowns have been living well together for many months, I added...

okay I have a 75 gallon reef tank which so far has: 5x perc clowns (4 orange, 1 black) 1x valentini puffer (very small) 1x longnose butterfly (also quite small) 1x coral banded shrimp I have two questions: 1. I'm looking for another fish to add to this set up. I was originally going to go...

my valentini puffer sleeps in a dead piece of coral which is shaped like a cup. he fits perfectly inside and sort of sticks his body to it somehow. very cute!! clownfish just sort of float at the back...

hey, thanks for the replies. all readings are: ph 8.2 amm .25ppm nitrite 0ppm nitrate 5ppm the shrimps i threw in have disintergrated. is it possible with the amount of live rock that i put in that i may have bypassed the cycle, or just of had a very small one?

I am using the same cannister filter on my 75g. This might help you... 1. The slow constant flow then real fast flow for a short period is the correct function of this cannister filter. You can hear it fill up then when it gets to a certain level it will empty, then fill up again. This is the...

Hey everyone, I started my cycle (75g tank) a week ago by adding 30kgs (approx 65 lbs?) of live rock and threw in a couple of raw shrimp. The live rock was in a giant tub at the LFS with good circulation, but the guy from the LFS said it had been there for about a month and would be perfect for...

Thanks for the quick replies! The pump i am using is an aquaclear 802, which was the recommended pump from where i bought it. the pump itself isn't the thing making the noise, infact i can't even hear the pump, it's the spraying noise where the water enters the inside of the remora c pro It's...

Hey guys, I am in the middle of cycling my new 75g, should i have the skimmer on during the cycle process? I've had it on a few days and had to turn it off at night because the noise is too loud. it's like a spraying sound coming from where the water enters the remora c pro. Is this a normal...

I live in Australia too, and I bought a similar model to the nanocubes. Its called a "Boyu"- not sure if its that trusted but seemed to work well for me. I know that in Melbourne all the LFS sell Jebo nano tanks. I took out all the filter pads and bioballs and replaced them with LR and the tank...

Thanks for the advice guys. All of my snails would be bigger than the puffer, but maybe some of my crabs would be a bit smaller... The coral banded is easily 3x its size, so you dont think that would be a problem?

Hey guys, At the moment my LFS has a really small saddled valentini puffer that is so cute. Just wondering if I could trust him in my reef aquarium? I have quite a few corals and also a Coral Banded Shrimp, which I've heard they can annoy. Has anyone had any experience with these guys in reef...

Mmm my carpet anenome ate a valentini puffer, and killed a yellow tang and sailfin tang with its sting. Took it back straight away!
