Absolutely awesome thread. Rob you owe me a new keyboard because I've just ruined mine by drooling into it
What are your water chemistry specs for growing all the corals and keeping crustaceans? I picked up a Juwel 180 on Wednesday. Its just LROWF at the moment, but I would love to get a mini reef thing going on.
The guy sold it because he'd been away for a long weekend, had a power failure and came home to a tank full of dead fish, all apart from a blue damsel. Rather than restock it, he sold it. Its all up and running again here, the live rock is still alive, ammonia 0, nitrite 0 and nitrate at 20ppm.
Just today I decided to get a "Nemo" and a "Dory" from my LFS (need an excuse to go back there because the girl in there is cute lol). I'd love to get some anenomes and and corals, but I think I might need to upgrade to MH lighting as I only have the standard juwel lighting unit and an additional Aquaone marine lamp. I know some corals don't require such high lighting, so I might investigate those.
Love the protein skimmer. Beats the crap outta the red sea Prism I've currently got. How much did that set you back?
Again, great thread
