Thanks for the input from everybody! Few things: Yes the only reason for the valve on the drain line is to push more flow through the skimmer, if there was no valve, not enough water would go through the skimmer as the level sits too low, so we have adjusted it to the right level, this has not...

Hi all I have brought the below sump tank, and purchased the baffles as well, as per dimensions in picture below, what I am trying to figure out, is where will my water line sit in the Return section? Will it be where I have drawn the water line, or will it sit lower by the baffle? Please help...

It took me 4 hours today, but the male ocellaris out of my pair is now hosting my Bubble Tip Anemone. What I did was a week ago I put pictures up of them hosting and they didnt take any notice, so today I got a fish net and cornered both clowns to the anemone so they had to swim around it, i did...

I have had a Green Heliofungia for 3 weeks, he is up on a flat rock with medium flow. For the last 3 weeks, from at least 7am it would be opening up and by 9-10am would be fully open as per pic below, sometimes larger than the pic as it looks like he doubles in size when fully open. Then about...

I have a fuzzy dwarf lion in my tank who is about 3 1/2 inches. He used to get fed every day up until a month or so ago when I had a few problems with feeding him. He now gets fed every 3-4 days, but what I have noticed with doing this, is that he has actually clicked on that its feeding time...

Yeah definately get those pics up!!!

I am planning on upgrading to a 125gal approx in the next 6mths. Fingers crossed everything goes to plan! I thought that it may get too big for my size tank, but would still love to give it a go and Im sure it would be able to hold out until I upgrade? There is plenty of swimming room as I have...

I am looking to add more fish to my tank and would love some feedback! I currently have a 90gal tank which is just over 4ft long. I have a 338 gal rated skimmer which is nearly 4 times my system volume. There is plenty of swimming room in my tank after re-aquascaping over the weekend before I...

Yeah I figured it will go away on its own, so will leave it be for another week or two before i start to pull my hair out over it. then will look at getting snails. I got home last night to find 1 of my white bulbs blown, so i might just leave that for a couple of days and see if the diatoms go...

I like the starfish handle :)

After typing up the post realised that I also brought a new 54W Blue T5 bulb for my lights as one had been blown for a little while ... much brighter now, thats probably my problem as lights are on too much? I am off work for most of next week so I will see if I can reduce lighting and see how...

I have a 4ft 90gal tank that was running for 12mths, and I have now had it for 2mths. 2 weeks ago we brought either 60lb or 100lb (cant remember what size bag, leaning towards the 100) bag of "Aragalive" live sand, very fine sand. We placed this directly over the top of the crushed coral we had...

I am looking to get a second Ocellaris as well ... my 1 that I have now is about 1 1/2 inches so still smallish, but I cant get one too much smaller than him ... I have a 3inch Fuzzy Dwarf Lion in the tank as well and I dont want a new one to be lunch! May have to wait for my one to get a little...

Does anyone ever get Xenia just growing in your tank when you didnt put it in there? None was added to my tank, just one day I noticed it (well I think thats what it is, but could be something else), its growing, currently about 1/4 of an inch high. The thing I am not sure about though is that...

The ones I got last time were fresh water unfortunately as they were the only ones I could get my hands on, but the prawns i fed him were brackish. Had a few dramas at work yesterday so being a monday all the lfs arent open late so by the time i got home they were all shut. grrr. hes getting...

I brought him some prawns so he had those a couple of times, but the remainder died before I could feed them to him, so I got him some nice yummy looking feeder fish, and he ate those. I am due to go out tonight to buy some more food for him as the shop only had a couple of feeder fish left so...

He doesnt bother anything at the moment, im not after a full on reef, just a few more corals than i have now to make it look less empty. He has never sat on the few corals we have and has been in the tank for 6mths +. If this changes as he grows (hes over halfway there) then we will re-look...

I have a 4x18x18 at 90gal with the following fish. I have upgraded skimmer and the nitrates have gone down, the skimmer we had was pretty crap. We also added sand instead of just having crushed coral. I am also looking to get some more live rock (currently have 40kg), not huge amounts but just...

I will keep an eye out for any further torn fins, better not happen again or i will be angry with Mr Shrimp lol.

Or the coral banded shrimp? hes quite big, so perhaps the lion got too close to him?
