deano - go into your "User CP" at the top of the screen, then on the left "edit signature", and enter what you want, and then save it.

If you want a link to your tank thread - copy the below code into your sig and then put a [ right at the beginning (right before URL) and a ] at the very end.......

URL="http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/red-sea-max-owners-club/56872-side-winders-reef.html"]Side Winders Reef[/URL

and it will look like this:

There are other ways to do that, but that may save you time, and save me some typing LOL!

Wow, that leather sure did make a beautiful transition! Looks great. The Trigger is a beautiful fish and I have always wanted one. I had almost considered getting a separate tank just so I could keep some of the more not so safe reef fish....maybe someday. That clam is a dandy! Do you have to dose a ton of Calcium?

 

[deanodoc]

Just 5mm with my water top ups yes the leather looks good i am very pleased thanks Tammy

Well folks after all the conflicting advise regarding LR and bio balls i took the plunge yesterday and removed all the bio media i now just have a 1" thick sponge in the skimmer chamber with the two bags of charcoal on top and in the far left chamber just 1" thick sponge! after the initial microbubbles and cloudiness two days later i am crystal clear water. Also turned on my back fans to create more airflow over the surface my tank is looking good. Although turning on the back fans really lowered my water temperature, why anyone in the UK would need a chiller i do not know. By the way three months in and my stock hydor skimmer is working a treat. Deano

I use fans also. To me, fans = cheap, but smart chiller. lol

Well evryones gone now got all my chores done on the tank turned the noisy fans on and took the good picture of my filefish wedged in the Hammerhead Coral asleep

 

[Reefmack]

Great picture! At first I couldn't see the fish - it's wearing a camo outfit.

 

[deanodoc]

Yes he is so really ugly but he is my favourite he swims around so serenly but very chameleon like. Deano

 

[Reefmack]

I don't think he's ugly at all - just the opposite - and a unique fish too.

 

[Dweezil]

Very cool picture deanodoc. I think your the only one I've seen with one of those fish.

 

[Reefmack]

Tammy - you revived this old man's memory.

Blurp has a filefish too:

His might be a different species. He got his to try to control Aiptasia but I can't remember if it did the job or not.

 

[Dweezil]

Ahhh Okay...I had totally forgotten about that. My memory span < 1 day LOL

 

[redsea reefer]
