    FS Aquamedic 1xStarlight Future 2x150w and 1xOcean Light 150 Brand new!

    I bought these off a guy that does fresh water aquariums. I suspect that he got them as complete bundles, i.e. with tank etc. I think he started the Starlight (because the bulbs are fitted) but it hasn't got any hours. The Ocean Light still doesn't have the bulb installed. The Starlight...

    Freshly started SW

    Very impressive for your first, well done. When you mentioned that the sand stuffs up your filter, you mean it gets sucked in right? I use very fine aragonite which is very difficult to disturb because of its density, maybe the sand you tried may not have been suitable. In any case, the...

    Skimmer Vs. Water Conditioner

    My comment on Quote “skimmer and water conditioner can be used to provide the same outcome”, and the question asked in the original quote being “are skimmers individuals when it comes to this kind of thing?” was merely to provide that skimmers and water conditioners from what I believe are...

    Skimmer Vs. Water Conditioner

    I don't think skimmer and water conditioner can be used to provide the same outcome... Skimming is used generally to remove organic material (some believe protein) from the water column of an aquarium which is already running (however not 'fully' established). Water conditioner is from...

    Anyone try this new skimmer yet?

    Are you new to the salty side? if so welcome. So have you cycled at all? What stage are you at? When you say "I won't be using the sump/skimmer till I buy one in a month or so" what sort of plan do you have for starting up? Because it would be good to try and get some type of sump...

    Anyone try this new skimmer yet?

    What sort of skimmer are you using atm? What is the reason that you want to get a skimmer {new\replacement\additional}(something more than "you need one")? What size tank are you running? and how long and what are your parameters, stock levels, substrate, and type of LR do you have? Do you...

    Water Change long overdue?

    469 days and all is well..? sort of. Well, sort of.... Somewhere a few months ago, a bit before having the house broken into and my camera stolen, and a few days into my parents staying with my wife and I, all hell breaks loose... What is it about the parents staying with you that makes the...

    Sea squirt\hare? Whatever they are.. Well now I have two.

    Remember this guy? http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=141586 Well, it is not uncommon for him to go AWOL for long periods of time, and the shots in the above forum were quite a rarity. Anyway, after what seemed to be an extended period where he was missing in action, he...

    intake from pump is bringing in massive amouns of bubbles

    Where is your return pump located? It also appears that it is returning quite deep into the display.. which could be an issue if you loose power. I would say either air is being sucked directly into the return pump because the water lever is too low, or there is a hole in the pcv or return...

    My Clarkii's are breeding..

    Thanks for your words. Would like to set up another tank to see if I can raise them as from what I have read it seems that they won't survive in a display tank with power heads, predators etc. I have another tank which I was going to drill and setup in a wall cavity for seahorses, this again...

    My Clarkii's are breeding..

    As I type this, they are at it. They caught my attention when they were cleaning the vertical part of some LR at the base of their host. Bozo, (the larger female who was the rejected male from another tank) started to rub herself against the rock, followed closely by Quazzie, an un-sexed...

    Jumping fish theory....

    The fish think that we are in water as well. They think that water is bluer on the other side... How else can you explain how startled they look when they jump out? Because, you can't deny, they look really startled...
