u might need some power heads in there for water movement,if u havent already put some in there. |
| 02-10-2007 08:19 by Lnrak |
did you scrounge all that too? |
| 02-10-2007 08:22 by Lnrak |

| 02-10-2007 09:07 by Fry Lover |
i saw this tank actually on Sunday evening, very nice set-up, lovely Cleaner Wrasse fish or whatever its called |
| 02-10-2007 10:05 by telboy |
thanks for replys,lnrak no i didnt "scrounge" anything, i never do, i acquire things free or cheap!why pay when theres no need,swopsies always the best way to go in my book...kev yep have x2 1100lph power heads in there, along with a spray bar at the back on the bottom...lurver man,yes it is a cleaner wrasse,by the way calico con is doing good at home,but will be moving him to wh asap cheers |

nice setup mate |
| 02-10-2007 13:29 by Ed |
You have been smitten by the marines tel welocome to the club.The cleaner wrasse is the only marine i had trouble keeping,its feeding the blighters it needs the parasites that live on fish to fare well but i am sure someone on here is going to tell me different maybe even bred them ,tank looks nice put an elephant nose wrasse in and the tank will be like the M1 on a friday.I am going back into tropicals myself maybe discus and going to sell the setup i have ,this one cost quite a lot or maybe swop for discus. |
| 02-10-2007 16:09 by telboy |
ed,ive been told bout the feed probs with cleaner wrasse but mine luvs the ol frozen brine shrimp + mysis mate so guess im lucky?why ya giving up the marines? anything i may be interested in? |
| 02-10-2007 17:03 by dave the wath |
Nice set up tel, when I get going with my rio180 might like some advice if thats ok? |
| 02-10-2007 17:12 by stevebrillo |
no mate its too clean for a marine..looks like you've been busy tel....nice one |
| 02-10-2007 17:26 by telboy |
why thank you kind sir too clean? dont like coraline all over the tank master brillo,on the rock yes, but not on the glass...fussy b ugger aint i? |
| 02-10-2007 17:28 by telboy |
davethewath,if ya starting on marines id highly recommend checking out this forum mate very freindly + good advice for newbie + experienced alike,theyve helped me out no end http://www.reefsuk.org/forum/index.php |

Looking good Tel, i would think about upgrading them small PH though, try and get some water and air exchange going in the tank it will help with oxygen as well . |
| 02-10-2007 17:35 by telboy |
1100lph small?maybe for your beastie of a tank mate but mines only 125litres,+ all the livestock i have prefer slow to moderate flow trik,i know they say 20-30 times turnover but i find this just blasts everything +the fish just hideaway...my turn over without filter is nearly 18times,do reckon i should have more? |
| 02-10-2007 17:37 by Ed |
Tel i would sell the tank complete as i think its too small 48x18x12 wide 40 kilos live rock with lit sump,it was the tank i had made in a joiners top class cabinet and hood .I enjoyed keeping chiclids but after 15 years of keeping marines somtimes you need a change look at yanton great set up including a moorish idle that was feeding well ,a change is a good idea now and again.

Yes mate, aim them to the surface and behind the LR, helps with gas exchageand keeps the LR free from detrus. |

Good on yer mate, lets see the next pic with lot of surface movment |
| 02-10-2007 18:18 by telboy |
trik,what size skimmer should i be aiming for on this setup?aint got one at mo but will do when funds allow |
| 02-10-2007 18:26 by trik |
Depending on stock levels, go for at least 2 times the tank volume, as manafactures under do there ratings, if funds allow you can pick up A DELTEC mce 600 or 500 for under £100 0n ebay, or you may just get away with a V2 600. |
| 02-10-2007 18:26 by trik |
Shame its not a bigger tank as i have a V 1500 for sale |
| 02-10-2007 21:11 by WAYNE |
