Hi, i posted this, originaly on a different section of TFF, i didn't realise there was an Invert section! Any help / advise is massively appreciated, before i embark on my new project! Hi, As you can probably fathom from the above, i intend to keep and, hopefully breed Crystal Bee Shrimp...

ooops, didn't realise there was an invert section! I'll repost! ref my pH, it's at a constant 7.6-7.7 in my established tank, but it'll need to be lower (about 6.5-6.8) for the CBS project. Should i start the cycle again, taking new water to a lower pH, or just try to lower my current...

Just found this My link, thinking of using it, but not sure i'd like to pay £17 for it! I'd only need a little bit! I'd like to use it to keep my pH down for the CBS.

OK, thank you. When it comes to breeding, do you know anything about selective breeding? The way i read it; I would start with grade A's (about 6, i think) when they have reproduced, if there's some grade S, i replace the grade A's, leaving only the S in the tank. And so on, and so on! I...

Hi, As you can probably fathom from the above, i intend to keep and, hopefully breed Crystal Bee Shrimp (CBS). I am going to be getting a new Nano soon, and would like to use it to breed Grade A's and attempting to get them up to as high a grade as possible (SSS would be nice!!). My plan is to...

OK, Thanks. A couple more questions!! What ratio of LR/DR (Dead Rock) did you use? How long did you wait before adding Livestock? Do you have any indications that the rock is seeding i.e. ammonia spikes etc? Where can i get coral bones from? Did you do anything else to aid the process...

Hi, i've asked this in my Journal (below), and thought i'd post it here as a separate topic! Question: I've looked at a different forum (sorry), and i've read about people seeding their own live rock. By buying cheaper 'dead' rock or coral skeletons, and setting up their tank with the dead rock...

Still waiting!!! I hate waiting, but i'm still looking, researching and bl**dy WAITING!!! (Not to mention Pestering my mentor, guru and assigned buddy HappyGeorge!) Question: I've looked at a different forum (sorry :sad: ), and i've read about people seeding their own live rock. By buying...

So a 36W light x 2. Would that be sufficient for my plans, or suplement with LED's?? I found these lights - here. I'm thinking of the 8K, marine blue one's. Are they any good?

And what about these lights, instead - 18W, 8K?? What is it that determines how good the lights are? is it the W, as in 18W, or the K in 8K? Sorry for pestering, but i'm completely clueless when it comes to lighting! You said earlier about some corals that like lower light levels, what if...

OK, what extra lighting would you recommend, and what do you mean by supplemental feeding?

Sorry, The link is now fixed! I take it, by what you're saying, that i can't have as i've planned? Would the Zoas etc not be happy with my lighting?

Hi, I've made another post in the coral section, about my lighting, and whether it's suitable for the corals i'd like to keep. Please follow this link to the post. As a side note, i've just realised i can access this forum at work! Oh well, i can say good bye to getting any work done! :shifty:

Hi, I have an Aqua One AR 620T, and will be running 2 x PL18W Triphoshor / Marine Blue Mix 7.1K / 12K Tube. As seen HERE! Feel free to red my journal, below, to find out more. My plan, as far as corals go, though, i to have a Zoa garden at the bottom of the tank, with some mushrooms and...

OK, thanks MrL. Any suggestions on CUC? How much am i likely to need for a pretty small tank?
