On more than one occasion I left the twin fans at the back of the tank unplugged and was horrified at the amount of evaporation that collected on the lid. IMO I would never leave them off again regardless of wether a chiller is needed or or not

I added an MP40, but very rarely turn it above minimum. I sometimes wonder why I spent the money on it !!

Mine get replaced every six months, I generally change one each night so it takes six days to do the swop. Never had a problem

Thanks Joe:thumber:

Ive got a friend of mine who is an electronics wizard having a look at designing an LED conversion for the Max250 as there doesn't appear to be anything available in the UK. i will keep everyone posted on the progress

if the little fella has shed, then he is growing,, you could do with getting a few larger shells so he can move to a bigger house

Keep up with the water changes, syphon off the cyano and keep the feeding to a minimum you will be fine. Be patient

Can't say I've had any problems. I ran the stock pump for two years before I changed it for a more powerful external unit when I added a chiller. Hope you get sorted soon

Bad news on the Flame Angel. I have a Coral Beauty which isn't too happy at the moment. He's been in the tank over a year but seems very stressed since I added an Algae Blenny. The Coral Beauty has been hiding at the rear of the tank and I can't get near him.

I remember sitting watching my first tank in the dark. Amazed at all the macro life that comes out at night. My favourite dives are at night, its a whole different world down there in the dark

Saw an RSM250 in a LFS today, fully stocked and looking good. Interestingly it had an Aquabeam 600 ultima LED unit fitted. The fixing lugs are a perfect size to suit two of the flourescent tube cover lugs and the power lead ran straight out of the accessory hole. I asked wether it was too...

A few shots of the tank. Added a couple of new corals today, the orange Blasto and the Hammerhead

What type of algae is it? Cyanobacteria can be syphoned off, I did this on a daily basis which also acted as a partial water change. How much are you feeding, you don't have a lot of fish stock so a lot of feeding isn't required. Make sure your skimmer is working well and keep up the water...

The links don't work :closed:

I agree, and with your nitrates at zero there are very few dissolved organics in the water column.. I try to keep my nitrates under 4ppm but never as low as zero

If you are getting readings above 4ppm then you should be working on the high scale. I personally wouldn't be worried about readings of 12ppm but would try to get down to around 4ppm if I could

Be patient. When things are good your Coraline will thrive

Welcome along, sorry cant offer advice on the tanks mentioned but I can recommend the Red Sea Max 250

Do you use the bio media provided with the tank, if so I would ditch that and run some fresh carbon. The other quick fix would be to use a poly filter. I would then look at giving the rear chambers a good clean and a few large (50%) water changes

We run the T5 for nine hours and the moonlights are on all other times. If we run the T5 for longer it tends to promote algae growth
