Well guys 'n gals, here's what I'm doing today. Anyone who visits the forums regularly can perhaps remember my comments on how my wife has contracted Alzheimer's. Well, it's progressing at quite a fast pace to the extent that i have a clip to wear on my shirt saying "LYNN ROBSON - Husband". You...

I found that the Cillit Bang black mould remover works well. I already have this to clean my shower as it also has similar problems from time to time, especially on the shower head. Lat night was another night with the extractor fan going at half speed and once again there was no condensation on...

This topic possibly relates to the hobby in general, rather than specifically to saltwater topics. However the problem of condensation and mould didn't occur when I was doing freshwater. So, the problem I've been getting for over a year now is that the rooms that have my tanks in, and...

My LFS has a tank full of aptasia which he keeps for the Berghia. He breeds them. They do cost a bit though, but anyway Hartlepool is a long way from your home

There's another point to mention here. Covers are supposed to be a big no-no for marine tanks, but what I've come across is that in both rooms where I have tanks, the ceiling above them became covered in black mould. I mean, REALLY mouldy. I'm currently topping up the freshwater tank to keep the...

My tank has gone a bit off with algae right now. Since day one I have left the signs of brown algae alone on the rear wall as it's not easy to scrape off and anyway, it's supposed to be a good food source for some of my fish and shrimps. Yeah, they do nibble at it, but it's now at the point...

https://clipchamp.com/watch/FI53qfXBYTx Had a makeover and new stock of fish. Coral has done really well too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I just took delivery of a couple of bags of amphipods ( Gammarus Shrimps )but never thought about the order...

I thought I'd just give a follow-up to the above post on these lights. Originally I had 2 over my AquaOne 120ltr tank. It was a bit difficult to comment on how effective they were at that time as I didn't have much in the way of coral frags in the tank, or at least those I did have were being...

The clip on my last post fails to bring out the 3 dimensional construction of the reef, and also doesn't show much of the corals in place. I guess there's nothing quite like seeing things at first hand eh? Anyway, the lights have just come on this morning and I've uploaded a fresh video scanning...

Regular members may well remember my saying that I was switching from freshwater to marine. It's was some time ago, and I remarked that it wasn't particularly difficult having got a tank up and running. Well ........ it sure as hell wasn't easy either. My efforts did produce a tank of 120ltrs...

Beautiful markings on the fish. I have a pair of the black and white Clarkii in a similar size tank with a flowerpot as they are in full breeding condition. They are super aggressive. I just can't put my hand in to clean the glass with a standard razor as they really nip me and on one occasion...

I did have covers like that on my freshwater tanks but they aren't as well suited to marine. The ph levels dip with lack of oxygenation, or so I'm told. I have added bicarb to bring the level up to 7.1 and I do a daily check on it, along with salinity levels. However the slowdown of evaporation...

It's a bit of a mix here. The useful bit is about the fish I deem to be one of the best for a tank. As we all know, the sand seems to collect "brown stuff" that can be damn difficult to clear. It's unsightly and seems to accumulate no matter what we do. I have set up a new tank this week using...

Trials and tribulations. Successes and inevitable cock-ups. I'm just setting up a new D-D Reefer 900 pro right now so once i get things sorted I'll update.
