  1. I use the Hammerhead Mag cleaner from Algae free, and it works exceptionally well, the magent is very strong and takes off some really stubborn algae. As my tank has no front access, cleaning the front glass of Coraline was a real pain until i bought this attachment and super glued it on, my low iron front pane is now coraline free. Both products are very good HTH Anton
  2. I've swapped out my 20 lb cylinder at the Manassas Roberts, cost me $22, easy as pie Pick up some spare gaskets for the regulator while your there, you never know when you'll need a new one There are Roberts in: 2929 Eskridge Rd Fairfax, VA 22031-2213, US 45000 Underwood Ln Sterling, VA 20166-2305, US 8607 Quarry Rd Manassas, VA 20110-5348, US HTH Anton
  3. I'm off work 7th through 12th Aug and then 15th to the 18th LMK Anton :wink:
  4. No problem, especially if we get to see that behemoth I'll post my work schedule tonight, i'm a bloke i can't think that far ahead Anton
  5. True, my male has jumped out of the tank, luckily i was walking past my fish room when it happened, it was quite surreal, i dashed in and dropped him back in the tank, carpet fluff n all. I am now working on egg crating the back opening of my tank. Anton
  6. I have Bluejaws in my 240, they as far as i am aware are doing very well I keep them well fed, they come to the surface when i'm working on or behind the tank, i have on occassion seen my sallylightfoots with a several legs missing, but over all they are a geat fish with tons of personality I've read they will grow anywhere from 9" - 12" HTH Anton
  7. 2 Litre soda bottles filled with RO/DI and frozen are good at dropping temps too, and there is no worry if it leaks when filled with RO/DI. I'm sure there will be more scorchers on the way And although high temperatures are bad for a system, big swings in temp over a short space of time are the main worry, dropping your tank from a daytime high of say 84 to a nightime 77 will show very quickly in your inhabitants if it happens repeatedly Just be sure to leave some expansion room in the bottle. HTH Anton
  8. Beautiful Doug Put me down for a frag Anton
  9. I'd just get Females and they will adjust to suit, and with one settled and eating already in the tank, it should make the transition easier for them. By all accounts the Carberry's that i have are swines to fully acclimate i.e. get eating prepared foods, but mine took to eating as soon as they were released from their baggy confines, go figure. HTH Anton
  10. Sorry to hear that One of my Lyretails in my old tank changed when my male went for a walk one day, the colours and behaviour were amazing to watch, it took about 2 weeks to change, if it's a solitary female it may not change. Anton
  11. Any luck yet with the frozen brine or mysis?
  12. No problem, i have room. She is away from 4th - 28th Aug, I'll let you know when i'm going Anton
  13. Totally agree I was down in Richmond overnight and swung by Marvin's this morning, one word "AWESOME" The vision of that Macna Deltec behemoth as you walk in through the door is a real jaw dropper, everything Rudy says is spot on, and Marvin (Wednesday - Sunday) knows his stuff, I believe he will be doing WAMAS Discount too (someone please correct me if i'm wrong). For those that didn't do the social, this is a must see establishment, you won't be disappointed. I can feel a couple of road trips to Richmond next month when my wife is in Australia on business Anton
  14. Not a worry Byron The way England are playing at the moment, we need all the hijacking we can get. The only beast we are unleashing boredom Some England regular season pay check stats for you Wayne Rooney - Manchester United - Born: UK, 1985 - Unmarried, girlfriend Annual:
  15. I was wondering if anybody else was using Phytofeast to feed their systems. I picked up a bottle from MS a couple of weeks ago instead of DT's and so far i have been impressed with the look of my tank, lots of things seem to have perked up, now i'm not sure if it is down to this or that i have finally hit the nail on the head with keeping my tank at a happy medium, but one thing is for sure It doesn't smell anywhere near as bad as DT's Anyone else getting good or bad results Anton
  16. Hi Rudy To get the actual pics in your post, when you log into photobucket under each of the pics you uploaded you will have 3 long boxes, Url, Tag & img, cut and paste all of whats in the bottom IMG box and paste to your post, then your pics will be right there with your explanation. Like this HTH Anton
  17. Just wondering if anyone was using this software to help with their systems Reefcon2000 If so is it worth it, i've downloaded it and played for 5 mins Bad side is it has an expenses keeper, if you download, make sure you don't fill this out in case your other half finds it Anton
