  Pincushion help

  Posted: May 5th, 2011, 11:10am CDT by Zane de Beer

  Hey all,
  
  Our pincushion has been looking funny the last couple of days (almost a week now) Although we've only had it a couple of weeks, the first couple of days is was 100%. I'm not sure if it is molting or if it is dying. I would appreciate it if one of the gurus can have a look at the pic an tell me what's up. All the water parameters is in check.

  Our new 1.8m tank

  Posted: March 18th, 2011, 11:45am CDT by Zane de Beer

  So after a lot of work, sweat, tears (no blood.... or rather not a lot) and mess over the past weekend, our new 1.8m tank is up and running.
  
  
  
  The fish are in, and they are really happy with all the new swimming space... (coming from a 1m - 200L tank)

  4 x M1500 or Polario 22ML

  Posted: February 24th, 2011, 10:17am CST by Zane de Beer

  I am looking for powerheads for my new 1.8m tank...
  
  Should I go for 4 x M1500 (6000L/h) or 1 x 22ML (22000L/h)
  
  Another option is 2 x M1100 (one each side) + 22ML in the centre...
  
  Has the problems mentioned with the 22ML been sorted out yet?
  
  Please let me know what you think or sugest... I would love the vortech... bet they are a bit pricey for me. :)

  Need help moving water

  Posted: February 17th, 2011, 7:26am CST by Zane de Beer

  Hey all,
  
  I will be getting my hands on a 1.8m tank in the near future. I would like to take most of the water in the tank with if possible.
  
  The biggest problem is that it is about 700L... I have the means to transport that weight, I just have nothing to transport it in.
  
  Does anyone have any solution?
  
  I tried JoJo tanks, but they only interested in selling me a container, they won't rent me one.
  
  Thanks!

  Coralline algae

  Posted: February 14th, 2011, 12:05pm CST by Zane de Beer

  How do I know if the coralline algae on my LR is growing or dying...
  
  All my coralline seems to fade somewhat in color (going from pinkish to white especially around the edges) is this new growth, or the start of death?

  Starfire Glass

  Posted: February 10th, 2011, 11:06am CST by Zane de Beer

  Hey guys,
  
  I've seen quite a few posts about this low iron/lead glass.
  
  If I was to change the front plane of my new tank to this, do I use the same thickness as the regular glass I plan on using?
  
  1500 x 650(h) - 12mm thickness?
  
  Tank size to be 1500 x 600 x 650(h)
  
  :)

  Hallo All,
  
  I am in the process of building our new 1.5m tank.

  Hallo All,

  Posted: February 9th, 2011, 12:06pm CST by Zane de Beer

  Hey MASA members,
  
  I've been hanging around the site for quite some time, and decided it's time to join.
  
  I've had fish tanks since I could remember, and currently have a 1m marine tank. Not much to look at at the moment, but it will be replaced soon :)
