    Maintenance routines

    All I am saying that water changes help , but in reality I can't change 250ltrs of water every day just to keep up with alk cal. & mag. Impossible to do. With over 50 corals in the tank it need replacement continually. ?

    Maintenance routines

    Hi. Maintenance is different on every tank .I agree with @flower 100%, Algae scrubbers & macros is great. the more you do the easier it is I slightly disagree with "water changes replace everything". In theory "yes" but I would have to change a lot of water everyday if I didn't use...

    Buy the best equipment you can afford at the time because going cheap means buying twice. & it costs you double. !!!

    Some of my beautiful fish ! Warning Photo Heavy.

    Hubby actually thought about blowing them up ( pictures not fish. ). & selling at markets around for peoples walls. ! We sold the two blues shortly after pics. They were getting very large but still had great colour. We were lucky a lot of blues lose their colour as they get larger. I miss them.

    They are probably all the same fish you guys have just used a super good photographer is all. I suppose it makes all of us appreciate the reality of just how beautiful these creatures we own are.

    Nostalgia... Cause sometimes it's the little things.

    I have also heard they dont often live past 12 months in aquariums, but I am sure you will be able to prove them wrong as I have. Your going so very well with that one.

    Nostalgia... Cause sometimes it's the little things.

I certainly don't consider your or my water dirty but 0 of phos and nitrates is not good for gonis at...

    $9.99 for fish or coral

    We found the tank itself was the cheap part of our 7 foot upgrade it was all the larger equipment needed that cost the bomb. Huge skimmer. More flow. More media. Etc etc live tick is about $80 per kilo.

The club set up a little comp for best coral pic fish pic etc. so in exchange for...

    What size you putting it in if you buy ? Over here if you put it in anything less than 220 g you would be in BIG trouble. Unfortunately they really do need to swim. Unfortunately people often buy saying "upgrade" in few months & it never happens. I feel really sorry for them. Every one here...
