I did some looking around and i think it's a torch. Any suggestions for another coral species that is hardy and happy in the aqurium. My tank is a bit bare and I want concentrate on corals rather than fish, only a 16gal. Thanks. Jen

Yes, your probably right about the rock being unstable, I'll try and shift it down to a more secure spot tonight. Thanks for the comment on the photography, I love it!

I come home from work, pore a glass of wine and pull a chair in from of my tank and sit and watch it, instead of the TV. Bliss.

Hi, I am slowly getting my tank setup after a few learning disasters. Im not too sure about my aquascaping, and would like some feedback. Current inhabitants: 1 twinspot goby 1 singaport angel 6 spotted shrimp 2 turbo snails Can someone please also help identify the pink coral in the last...

Well, conflicting opinions, but with so many members it's to be expected. Im going to go with BangGuy with 25yrs experience. :) I'll also be taking my time to get it back to a decent level. I also have a AquaC Remora being shipped from the US, Very excited!!!! Thanks for your help guys. Jen

Hey Denise i just noticed you're from Perth... I was born in Subiaco... not too many Aussies in these parts.. :) Lleyton just lost! :(

Mine is a nano too, 16gal. The snail's are now wrapped in plastic in the bin.... smelly buggers. Well, in my research of this fascinating hoby, i just found out that im supposed to top off with fresh water, not salt... so trying to get my tank back to the correct salinity... i hope i get a few...

Anyone? I've done a search but cannot find anything.

I have a free floating hydrometer, and im not sure how to read it.. you know how it has the green section between 1.020 and 1.030, well the waterline under the water is at 1.030, howver the water "lip" above the water surface is around 1.024/5. Which one is correct, how do you read these things...

I have a AquaC Remora on order. I cant wait to get it. What size powerhead should I look at for a 13gal with softies? I know they cant take too much, is there a limit?

It's the internal Eheim filter, which has the sponge inside that collects the buildup of particles in the water. There was allot of crap under the CC when I removed it so the sponge was pretty gunky. I clean it out in the water from my water changes. Also, the water change is as a result of the...

I have a 16gallon reef tank, that i am in the process of re-organizing after a few mistakes in setting up. Firstly, i removed the undergravel filter and crushed coral as it was causing high nitrate levels in my tank (loss of my fishes). I replaced it with a 1" layer of coral sand. My tank...

I believe the LR hitchhikers will eventually inhabit the LS aswell, is this sufficient substrate for a bio-filtration system? I currently have CC and it is not only unappealing (no effective cleaning crew for it) but i have also been told that CC and under gravel filter are nitrate factories for...

Hi, I have a 13g nano which has been running for 10 months now and Ive realized that the CC and undergravel filter is playing havock with my filtration. (and after strong reccomendations from SWF members to get rid of them). I also have another internal sponge filter. Can you please advise...

I am trying to find an online stockist here in Australia, does anyone know if SWF.com delivers to Australia, or are there any Aussies on here that know of a reputable online stockist locally? Thanks, Jen :happyfish

Hi Thomas, Thanks for the quick reply. 1. Get rid of the under gravel filter, they are no good on saltwater tanks. Really? It was supplied with my original tank setup, althought I dont go to that lfs anymore.. :) What do you suggest for a Nano (13gallon), at the moment I have the undergravel...
