As for the sizes of the corals, the tank they are in is 910mm long and 400mm high.

Another pic of the pink finger leather:

Then there is this lobophytum, it's polyps aren't out at the moment as I just moved it around, there another pic of a frag of it with it's polyps extended. The big one is covered in polyps like this. I'll try post a pic of it again a bit later. It is on a big piece of live rock, maybe 3Kg. R280

Then I have the following corals, if anyone is interested I'll get a pic of them:

2 x Seriatopora Caliendrum Frags (About 6cm by 6cm): R100 each
1 x green polyped sarcophyton (About 6cm in diameter): R80

Think that is all for the moment, if someone takes a few things we can negotiate prices.

I'm trying to find out how fast bubbletips grow? Do you have any idea of a growth rate? If we were to assume excellent water conditions and regular feeding with decent lighting? I've seen some guys with HUGE BTAs, and i really want mine to be a show piece so he must grow as big as he will allow :)

for reference here is a pic :)

Maybe i will post pictures of the nennie from the same angle after say a month, two months etc for interest sake while i'm at it :) On a non-related question, is there sub species of GBTAs? For example mine has purple tips on the green, is there a specific group for it or is it just a colour variation? Any for interests sake again, have you seen other variations of GBTA? ]]> Specialist Anemone advice scubaninja http://www.marineaquariumsa.com/showthread.php?t=15934 March 2010 Meeting http://www.marineaquariumsa.com/showthread.php?t=15933&goto=newpost Thu, 11 Mar 2010 09:08:50 GMT Hi members!

for those of you who went army, I'm a roof with this in other words new and stupid and impatient:)
I bought a Boyu tank about 3 months ago and I thought it was going good till I introduced a cow fish to it that only lasted two days, I wanted to cry and kill my local supplier, after cycling my tank for 8 weeks i introduced a clown and he seemed happy ever since, bought him a mate and a cow over the weekend together with a nenny for them to play.
Again I only found out this morning the nenny needs to be fed, tell me everything I need to know please, exept that I need a bigger tank that I figured out the first week.

I wanted to start a thread like this where people can post pics of their equipment with a size reference so that other people looking to purchase the same thing can get an good idea of the size of certain equipment and maybe get a better pic or two than what is usually available on the net, esp skimmers and flow pumps, and other stuff that you have bought without seeing many pictures on the net.

Here is a couple of examples, sorry for the phone pics :P OK and have added an "index" for later posts so you can jump straight to the post where the pic appears, so if new pic is posted, me or one of the mods can edit the firts post and add it to the INDEX with hyper link to specific post. If you cant find it on the list please post a request for pics of the certain piece of equipment.

Check Out This Yacht!

A famous French shipbuilder ship company and one of Monaco joined hands together to build this yacht with enormous dimensions: the WHY 58x38. (58meter long and 38 meter wide) After the first pictures of this project.

The yacht, an area of 3400 m2 with seating for 12 passengers and 20 crew.

This is a "green" yacht.

Wally et Hermès use green energy to 20 to 30% fuel savings and 40 to 50% electricity consumption on board. Therefore there are 900 m2 equipped with solar panels, producing a daily output of 500 kW.

Three decks, a 25 meter pool, a spa helicopterpad a 100m2 with hammam, sauna, gym and massage room, a promenade of 130 meter, a music room, a dining room, a cinema, sun decks, suites, terraces, a lounge, a bibi. The luxury is at the rendez-vous.

The decks are connected by stairs but there is also an elevator.

The suite of the owner (ie ikke !!!!!):

With an area of 200m2 and completely covers the third deck. (This is the bedroom).

The sea view is great and there is a private terrace of 25 meter long.

A sea of light.

The yacht has the shape of a horseshoe and has a roof so everything is bathed in a sea of light.

The spacious lounge.

On the lower deck are the common premises, such as lounge, piano bar and dining area.....

Dining Room

The dining room opens onto the sea view.

Suites for the guests

For the guests, 5 suites with sea views (on the middendek).

There is also a reading room equipped.

Now is that shipshape or what? ]]> Sports and Lifestyle Nemos Janitor http://www.marineaquariumsa.com/showthread.php?t=15926 Anybody know where to get something satin chromed ?? http://www.marineaquariumsa.com/showthread.php?t=15925&goto=newpost Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:47:35 GMT Hi would just like to find out if anyone has a contact or know of a company that can satin chrome steel ??

I done my plumbing, but got a problem. One connection on a T-piece leaks. It got a reducer directly in it, with a ball valve direct against this. So I cannot cut the pipe. and redo. Must redo one half of my CLS if I must do that.

So how do I seal that hole?
