Hi all.
I think my tanks now funny cycled. quite like the speed of the damsel and it gets on well with the cleaner shrimp. Just been out and bought a pond pump 1200lt per hour and installed that for a bit more flow. bit big for the tank but its doing its job.
Going to start looking for...
Update up and running now 3 weeks. changing some water soon, Got hold of several large (office) bottled spring water. also buying a bigger more powerfull pump to get a bit more circulation.
Ive got a metal halide light setup in my hood with some 80mm case fans keeping it cool. i found the lamps in the back of my pc shop. sold 3 on ebay and still got 4 more.
Its is good but you will get busy once it starts growing. I run a car website in the uk with over 2800 members and im on the pc close to 6-8 hours a day controling the mess. Im going to recruit some staff to help run it soon.
