I've recently seen that exact water changer on another thread, but for the life of me cannot find it now.

You seem to be doing everything right so I am sure you will be successful!!

I have one of those Lucy, also great for mixing water 1.140kg will give you Salinity of 1.025. Gordon is a great guy

I don't have a water changer (yet) but I purchased my auto top up from Gordon. He is very good and his customer service is excellent

Love the iMac :] and lol I got a good laugh from that!

Haha I'm bit of gadget freak I'm afraid and I do love my iMac

Hi, good luck with the tank. I'm in Herts as well.

In addition to the good LFS recommendations from KarlyBoy- Complete Aquariums in Stanmore is interesting, It's just opened and more of a small boutique feel, the guy is on holiday and I think it reopens at on the 21st), Further afield you have Japanese Koi Company in Bedford and Maidenhead Aquatics in Windsor, I've also had The Aquatic Design Centre in London recommended to me (though I've never been there).

Hey Tangers - Thanks for the reply

So I've noticed my RSM lights are making humming sound like plane jet taking off - What can I buy to reduce this noise as the tank is in my study where I work everyday.

 

[tangers]

Well you're options are a bit limited. The fans will be noisy (it bothers some more than others) you can 'mod' the hood...

It's a bit drastic but the only solution really.

Hey Guys,

My water is now ready - How much Live Rock do you recommend to order? 20Kilo?

 

[Soupylou]

Oh and also should I order nano pieces or mixed pieces?

 

[tangers]

I ordered 20kg of nano sized rock and then just discarded the pieces that I didn't need. In retrospect 20KG was a lot especially as the rock was quite light. But if you order a little more than you think you'll need then it'll give you more options when it comes to aquascaping.

 

[nanoreefing4fun]

I like around 1 pound per gallon 15kg

 

[Soupylou]

I've ordered my live rock, which will arrive on Saturday.

Just filling up my tank right now - thank god for the automatic water change unit. Saving my poor back and lugging buckets everywhere.

 

[goma]

Don't fill it too much, your rock is going to displace some.

 

[Soupylou]

Open ok I can take someways rout into my AMW unit when the Live Rock arrives.

Jesus Lucy make sense - I meant Ooooo I can always take some water out and transfer it toy AMW unit.
