Thanks i am hoping to get back to the city soon and add a few more bits and pieces

Looks very diff to the sally long foot on here. This crab is tan in color with short legs and long claws with white bands along the claws. It also has small red eyes

I guess the grass is always greener on the other side lol I have thought about other lighting. I will more then likely get some one day but until then it will have to do just have to pick what i put in

Thanks Scoobs but looking at other tanks on here i still have so far to go. Only thing im waiting for is that money tree lol would help my tank a long way. Until then its just going to take time.

ok got a few more pics. I also found out that i have a teddy bear crab and another one that i have no idea on (sorry its not a very good pic) but let me know if u got any ideas on what sort it is. I also got a pic of my blood shrimp while feeding tonight next to one of the big brissle worms.

its what came with the tank (fluros) didnt change them because they seem to be working.

Ok before i went to bed last night i got this shot of the urchin. He didnt like the flash on the camera didnt know that they could move that fast. i think it is a purple urchin sort of looks like the pic they got on here anyway back when i get a few more pics.

Ok as I thought keeping a diary was not going to be easy. It’s been over 6 months since I started the tank. I have only added a few bits and pieces since my last post. Just a few more corals pink and black cucumber and a fire shrimp (not cheap over here $180 AU) Work has slowed right down...

ok everything is going well so i have been adding a few bits and pieces to the tank. Fish coral and a few snails and hermit crabs. Been working weekends to get some more money for more additions to the tank lol. Feel free to tell what u think anyway here are a few pics

one place i found at the moment is $11 australian a kilo (2.2 pounds) but before that the only place i knew of was $18 a kilo and it is very plain lr. not a great deal if saltwater fish shops around here and they are about 2 hours away.

Before i started this tank i told myself it will take time to go through the cycle and i will just add the live rock some coral and cleaner shrimp and then finally some fish in stages over a fair time line. Sounded good didnt it. Buy why is it so hard to keep to this. the cycle is on its way...

ok the tank is starting to grow blown algea all over the rock and sand now but im taking this as being normal. I have just put a timer onto the lights so i dont run them so long. Got them going starting at 7:30 am to 7:30 pm. Got them starting early so i can feed them before i leave for work...

yeah this one is a triple pass red sea berlin clasic with turbo pump and i keep setting it to have a load of bubbles in the first two sections and not in the third like the book said but it keeps going back to just the first section and the other two are clear just wondering if i should keep...

Originally Posted by bsd230 I would look at a Bio Wheel filter system like the emperor 280 or 400 depending on the size of your tank. I have a 105 and use 2 400s plus a Red Sea protein skimmer. If you are having problems with ammonia, more than likely your tank has not cycled. Is it a new tank...

is there a general ratio of water to live rock that i should be following

ok no prob till next time

down the bottom in victoria the cold end lol

the rock had been there for about 2 weeks i think i got all that he had left. he was ment to have gotten more but its ment to have been to rough in in queensland at the moment and they hadnt sent him any yet. think it came from the great barrier reef

i guess thats the price that we pay for loving fish hey lol what lighting u running now
