Thanks BL, maybe time to get an ATO then. Another thought, I am currently living in Borneo, so humidity is high here. I normally have the air con on throughout the day and the chiller will kick in quite often to cool the water down to 25c. When I go to bed I switch the aircon off. Would a rise...

Thanks guys. I'm not sure why it does this, but it sat at that level for most of the day, then I checked again before going to bed last night and still good. When I woke up this morning the cup had filled up ith clear water and was overflowing? Why would it sit at one level for most of the day...

Thanks Kevin, I don't have a problem buying a different one, I didn't notice until I got home it had 80w only, never thought about them having a min wattage. Not really knowing how it works, I didn't know whether a 54w bulb uses 54w or gave out 54w. I will seek something with a 250w or more...

I have a Weirpro 2011 venturi skimmer. This is a new set-up, about 3 weeks old, so noting as yet to skim. However, I am unsure of how high the bubbles should be, does this look about right, or should it be higher? IMG_3444 | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

I have a question, a thicko question to be precise . Where I am now has input AC of 220v So I have bought a step-down converter to 110v to use on my Aqualife T5 lights when they arrive. Not knowing anything about electricity, the converter says 80Watt max. Will this be enough for the lights, or...

I am looking to get some 48" AquaLife T5's. But living in Brunei, means having to pay international shipping. So far marinedepot have the best shipping costs at $273. But on the slatwatertogo site, shipping here will be $173. I know marinedepot have a good rep, but I have not heard of...

Hi, I have bought an RO unit, not a top brand make, as I'm in Brunei and the choices are...er.. one. I am looking into getting a separate DI unit and pressure gauge as again I can't get them here. Anyway, the unit is a 50GPD. It produces about 3 gallons and hour with about 5 gallons waste...

I think I have the answer, posted on another forum and the reply was: dead walking dendro skeleton but the worm is still alive http://www.google.com/imgres?q=walki...-upydBw&zoom=1

Just for good measure, here is a side view. It seems to have little holes along the side as well?

I would say definitely a feather duster. It is light brown with darker brown stripes on the feathers. When I say pops in and out that's a bad description on my part. It does stay out and you can see the feathers attached to a worm. If I move my hand and create a shadow he shoots back in the hole...

It has one hole on the underside (image below). It doesn't seem to move very often, but when it does it can shift through crushed coral, so is quite strong. It looks like it's made of coral itself, just the weirdest thing. I haven't seen the creature within as it seems to move when I'm not...

I have just set up a new tank with live rock and sand. While looking in the tank, I saw the sand moving as if something was burrowing. I moved the sand and found this thing. It has a small hole on the underside?

A month ago I set plans to start a new reef aquarium, my first. I did lots of research, made sure I had everything I needed and how I should set things up. Once I had the tank and sump set up, protein skimmer in place, I headed off to the shop for some live sand and rock. There is only one shop...

Thanks guys, I have left it running and the foam level after 48 hours has levelled off to the neck of the cup. So no more bubbles rising to the top and depositing water into the cup, I haven't changed the pressure setting, so I guess the foam to the top and water into the cup, was just a...

At the time of writing the message, it had been running for several hours. However, as I mentioned at the end of the message it had been stable for 20 minutes, and as of now it is still at the base of the neck to the cup. So it seems to have stabilised?

Hi all, I'm setting up my first reef aquarium, so plenty of noob questions coming your way, sorry about that :) I have a weipro sa-2011 skimmer (I know, I know, but my options are limited where I am, and I will upgrade in the future) The Skimmer is rated at 300gph and the pump I am using is...

There are a few other shops, but they deal in mostly freshwater, but have saltwater products. So I will take a look in those shops and see if I can find the reef crystals. Thanks again for your help Peter

Thanks for the reply, Problem is I moved from the UK to Brunei with work, and there isn't a great deal of choice, in fact only one shop that sells saltwater fish. You can see that a lot of the stuff has been on the shelves for a while, but I don't have a great deal of choice, importing stuff...

Kevin, It's not brown murky but not milky white, it's kind of white with a tinge of green. It looks worse looking through the glass, but seems clearer looking though the top down. I have also noticed that there are undissolved crystals in the the bottom of the tank. What I don't want to do is...

Thanks for the reply Kevin, sorry for the delay. You are right, I took the bulkhead to a DIY store and the 1" pipe fitted fine. I was assuming that the pipe that came with it was 1" and couldn't figure how it was going to work. All plumbed in now, so just wating on the water :) Thanks again
