Lol you mistook what I said the fish would go in the same day but I would top the water up slowly, but I'll add it all in at one time, the sand bed is roughly 18 months old, I'll get new sand. Thanks for the advice

I there, I'm moving house this Wednesday, and also taking advantage of upgrading my tank, going from a 240 litre 4ft to a 5ft 550litre. Anyways I have a few questions, obviously the fish will b going into separate bags and into polystyrene boxes, I have about 60kg of live rock so that's fine...

Deffo an emperor angel, get it as a juvenile and the colours are amazing, plus they get BIG!! I have a juvenile at the moment and he is amazing, you can watch them grow and change, a purple tang? Or a yellow tail tang, a puffer? A eel? Got to have some kind of tang How are you planning on...

Man 300g that's supper sweet, I've seen some of the fake corral first hand by them and well.... It's great, really realistic all the colours and half the hassle, well done for taking the plunge, in relation to money I would spend 100's of thousands on a tank if I had the capital and the room, I...

I ment 700mm high lol

Well ordered a bigger uv steriliser went for one that does 600 litres, all new bulbs for the lights got 4 t5's 2 White 2 blue, that seemed to work well on the 65g, I was wondering, I have 25kg of live rock at the moment, I would like to double that in the new tank, by buying more rock for the...

Oh and the tank will arrive next Friday

Hi there the time has come to upgrade :) as we have a new house I thought It was only fair my fish get a new home right?? Anyways my little guys are in my 65g at my inlaws, to move them over to the new one, do take the fish out put them in a bucket, then put all my live rock in a plastic...

You didn't do nearly enough research, cycling a tank with fish is cruel. Like making you breath and swim in your own poo. You should have done a rock only cycle, yes it take 4-6 weeks but I did that and I haven't has a single loss and it's been up and running for about 8 months, you should...

A powerhead would help the fish too so they have some resistance to swim against, I wouldn't say one is essential in such a small tank but it's defiantly advisable :)

So the green stuff is defo hair algae, I'm goin to take them out again, get all the algae of them and not put my lights on for a month, I'm going to clean all my equipment in the tank, and get another 20 snails and 10 hermits :)

Afraid not, they are so small I can't get a decent shot, I've spent the last month trailing species lists and I can't find them anywhere, there absolutly see through but they come out about mid day and if a shrimp goes near them it shrivels up and hides, and then it opent up again it's about the...

No corral just a few translucent plants that look Cool they came on the live rock

I think I have been over feeding and the lighting unit has 4 bulbs and there all about 8 weeks old

Thanks mate, I'm going to turn off lights and feed less and put more snails and crabs, I'll pick all of it off and prepair for battle :)

Oh and here's a shot before the out break

Heya I've had this problem for about 6 weeks it grew this much and I got all the rocks out and picked it all off and it revealed alot of purple algae, anyways it looked great for about 3 weeks and now it's all back again, my phosphates are low and everything else is perfect. None of my cuc seem...

Oh and do you have a refractometre?

You should do a 20% water change but with just RO/DI water, no salt in it, this will bring it down a little then do like 5% everyday till it is at 023/025

Hi there I use sechem balance ph buffer, you add the suggested amount and it brings it up 0.1 every dose, you can dose as much as you like per day, and it dosent effect anything else, and I mean anything. I've used it to bring mine up once from 7.9 to 8.2 and it has stabilised and never dropped...

I had a 65g freshwater for 5 years with many different American cichlids in and I had a brilliant flowerhorn cichlid (female) she would eat out of my hand let me catch her by hand when she was unwell, then she spawn and she was so territorial but she would let me lift the top of there cave to...

Its a arcadia (4x t5's 54w each, 2x 10k White and 2x 14k blue) and in the picture above that's my blue led's as my moon lights

Oh they didn't come out aswell as they are on my phone, it's a iPhone 4 so should be hd..... Oh well you get the jist of it lol

Yeh I just took some photos, it's night here in the uk, they sort of go lower and don't swim as much at night but they all huddle together at night its awsome

Nope it will have added minerals in it, RO/DI is nearly pure h2o wait till it opens again.
