Very true I'll pick up another tomorrow and have another check Thanks again X

Do the test kits have a shelf life? It's perhaps a year old Before this larger PWC I had it tested at the LFS and it said the same.

One other thing is that the full clean has spurred on a Diatom bloom

It would have done but the old skimmer fell apart. Lol Does the level of the bubbles seem ok? Flow is ok. There are spots that you would think would be out of the flow but the sand is clear behind there and the detritus settles at the front of the DT making it easy to syphon out. More luck...

Hi Doug. Thanks. I'll give it a go. The source maybe be a couple of things Neglect: I was working out of town so PWC's were very infrequent which caused a red slime algae bloom. Most of which is is now gone after a strip down, full clean and regular PWC's since. Death: I had two tube...

I've been moved. So just just a little more info. This is a full marine reef set up

Hi all, Just a quick question on skimmers. I have recently bought a new skimmer about 4 weeks ago. I've been struggling with high nitrates and my old one just wasn't skimming anything. The skimmer (a bubble magus C3.5) skimmed lots of muck out for the first 2.5 weeks whilst I've been dosing...

Following. Great thread and good luck

Hi ya, I'm having the exact same issues although mine was work related rather than paternal. I carried out the below 1 week ago So far I have pulled all the LR out scrubbed it clean, siphoned the top layer of sand off, carried out a 30% PWC, upgraded my protein skimmer, cleaned the entire DT...

Bribo12 +1. No need to syphon your sand bed. By all means clean the top of any unsightly bits but if your bed is relatively deep it could tip your parameters over the edge. I've done it myself!!! Massive nitrate spikes

Cool!! No issues then Can't wait to see it coming on :-)

Hi Carey, Exciting new build!! Keep us posted Just a couple of thoughts. Water weighs 8.3 pounds so 40g is about 334 pounds or 152kg so as it's the bigger wheel type you have mentioned it should be good to go but I would consider what type of surface you at putting it on i.e. Carpet or...

Cool, I was more concerned that I swapped to blue whites instead of the daylights but looking at it now they still produce 15000k so seems all good

Cool. I'll have a look

Cheers Dave

Hi all, Just a quick question I've recently changed the 14000k 24w marine white T4's to the 15000k 24w blue white. I also run 1 T8? Cheers Andi

Hi all and happy new year, I am looking to upgrade my light existing T5 fixtures on my aqua reef 200 to LED's but do not want to spend a fortune. Has anyone got any good ideas on brands or types I currently have 3 T5's over the DT 2 daylight and 1 blue. My tank is has fish and hardier...

Well I won't be shopping there if that's their knowledge of reef Aquaria lol

It does!! Both species look very much alike

It brilliant how they pair!! One of the LFS by me said they don't stock pistol shrimp because they are classes as a pest in most marine aquariums???? What marine aquariums is he referring too??

I would love to see the pics !!

Hi all, I have just bought a high fin goby wooop!! I would like to pair it up with a Pistol shrimp specifically a Tiger Pistol Shrimp. Has anyone had any experience with these guys? Any tips or considerations? Thanks in advance Andi

Bang on!! Google never lies lol. http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS9xX3_C-gIyjxMtCWqrY9ZPr5wPSsG1Jbi939hyV2X6rUEdYyT Thanks ;-)

Hi S, I've not seen any pics of a sebea anywhere with the same colours. Does that matter?

Hi All, Can anyone ID this Nem please? Thanks Andi
