........I can't believe it's been 18 months since I was last on here!! Anyway for those that don't know me I'm Rushy, and those that do remember me, it will be nice catching up with you all again. It's good to be back!

Guys I'm still running my Canister filter, primarily because it came with the tank as part of the package when I bought it. I'm still having a few little probs with my nitrates, they're not bad, but still difficult to get them to zero out! Should I turn it off, unplug, dismantle it, and let...

Guys Noticed in the tank tonight, only briefly and sadly to brief to get a pic, a slightly unnerving looking hitchhiker. Couldn't work out if it was shrimp or worm like, because it only had it head and part of it's body poking out of a hole, but it definitely had feelers. However the most...

Evening Guys, as most of you probably know I originally set up my tank with a 'Red Sea Prizm' (:pooh:). However, today I've gone out and bought an Octopus BH300F (HOB) Skimmer, but as is the norm with this type of equipment the instructions are shocking!!! Can anyone point me in the right...

There appears to be a lot of discussion on here today about these beauties, but as a newbie, some pointers would be great. Is it a species that I should attempt to house, considering the problems with worms, is that common to all? Do they need a more mature tank? My LFS has some chequered, and...

Hi Guys As some of you are aware (if you have followed my thread in Tank Showcase), my tank is now ready for inhabitants. The question I have really is - should I continue to condition my tank with the start up supplements (ie. Hagen Cycle) or should I now follow another regime or just simply...

........is it now, given due consideration, that I have taken on this hobby and found it to be of my liking, to be in bad taste , to: - A - Eat Fish and Sea Food? and B - Enjoy doing so? If so, anyone know of any organisations out there to help wean me off!!?? :mrgreen:

Guys Thought I would see how things were going with my parameters last night, and although the SG and pH were quite high (1.028 & 8.5), I'm sure that with regular partial water changes I should be able to reduce and stablise them. The concern lies with the KH at 22 drops (220mg/l) in the test...

Guys I'm in the need of some help and advice. I've spent an inordinate amount of time reading, which I've found to be an absolute must for this hobby (which suits anyway), however it does all sometimes get a little confusing as the information can be conflicting. I assume a lot of what I'm going...

After many years of delibiration, I've finally take the plunge, and although obviously still at the very early stages, even now I'm completely captivated and sit there for hours watching what might creep out from the crevices in the live rock. Anyway, my setup at the moment consists of a Roma...

Just wanted to say hi, names Karl. Bought myself a Roma 240 at Xmas and have slowly been lowering myself into this great hobby. Set up is pretty much complete, introduced the LR to the tank at the weekend, so its all getting a little exciting. Look forward to getting to know a few of you over...
