Hey Guys
Starting my Aquascaping (with very little luck so far) and want to build a few bases for rock. I assume concrete would be the best.
Do I need anything special, or any precautions I must take?
Ta,

Posted: January 26th, 2010, 7:37am CST by Tiger
I'm being extremely blond, but can someone please help??
Has MASA's website changed since Monday or did I reset settings or something.
The menu bar ontop of the website has limited options. I also do not have the option to upload pics?
How do I correct this?? -

Guys, I have a Chiller for sale. This one is not going to handle the water capacity of my tank (more than 9000lt), and I do not want it to overwork itself.

In Mint Condition.
These Chillers go from R7000.00 upwards new
This is the info from Hailea:
Hailea HC chillers have strong metal chassis with a housing of contemporary design,ensuring the chiller does not look out of place in any surroundings and as with other cooling units,our chillers-the HC series use the environmental friendly refrigerant R134a.

Boxing Shrimps
Posted: January 26th, 2010, 4:49pm CST by deang
Hi guys,
Anyone got any thoughts on these chaps?
I lost a fish this week - a beautiful Bicolour Angel. Could my boxer have nabbed him?
He chases my other things around the tank - is he worth keeping or should i trade him in?

Howzit Guys...
I have noticed that once the tank lights goes off, lots of little starfish start to go onto the glass...I have looked closely and found alot of them on the rocks aswell..
Are they a nuisance or should I let them be..They like 5mm to 10mm in size and alll over the tank..they are like brown to gray in colour...

Feeding - When & How much to Feed?
Posted: January 26th, 2010, 9:47am CST by vatso
Peeps never got an answer to this question!
I have no doubt I am over feeding - have food floating around the tank for minutes & then a few hours later I see lots of little bubbles in the algea!!
Is it best to feed twice a day or once? I am worried the fish starve - also is it better to just target feed the corals & then 5 min later put the pumps back on & let the fish eat what's floating around?
Thanks

Wanted: Old/2nd hand 250 watt DOUBLE ENDED metal halide globe - to test something
Posted: January 26th, 2010, 8:38am CST by jacquesb
Hello all -
I am looking for old (used) / 2nd hand 250 watt DOUBLE ENDED metal halide globe.
I want to test something that I discovered this past weekend.
It looks like my AquaMedic OceanLight Metal halide unit, can handly from 100 watt TO 250 watt globes.
I also discovered that the starts/control gear in my unit, are ELECTRONIC named: "Tridonic Atco". I so CHUFFED with this!
So - I don't want to go and spend a huge amount of money on a new 250 watt DE globe.
So - if anyone has a globe (that is still working, even barely) that they want to chuck - please let me know.
You can contact me via PM.
Many thanks..

What I have Learnt about this hobby
Posted: January 26th, 2010, 8:22am CST by vatso
Right this is a once off deal!
I have learnt you can't cheat nature & how she works!! "that does not mean we can't question & or try"
Things take time & by that time that seems long for us is quick for nature! our fish & corals can die in a matter of hours & as such we want changes in out takes to be quick these same quick changes can cause all sorts of death!
I have learnt there are many ways to get to the same results the one that works best for you - only you can decide.
People only want to help & the help is never to harm the marine life they take the side of time - which is a good thing see above
The balance is so fine we can only hope & pray we keep things that way for as long as possible - how mother nature does it I would love to know!
brakes are sometimes more important then the accelerator :)
People new & old on this site - thank you all for your input & advise I am learning slowly & I am changing how I see stuff but I am a lessons learned person myself.
Mark
