Yes, I bought a 40W GE Germicidal lamp (T8 tube). The 38W ballast doesn't seem to have enough power to run it. I have put on an very old 54W ballast. It is better but still doesn't do the job. Any suggestions

Has anyone build a DIY UV light? I need to build one for a 1,8m tank for fish. Please help

Have any one of you have knowlege, used or heard of DAF/SCAF units. This is a "industrial skimmer" for sewage plants. It uses the same principals as skimmers but is a rectangular shape. In other words no cone effect. Air bubbles are used to surface the impurities and are scraped off at he...

Thanks for all the replies. Thanks Dikdaan. Yes that is quite heafty for a Friday afternoon. Now we understand. I sneeked out at luch and bought a guppy (that was all I could get). I put it in my tank. When the Lion saw it, it was about 30 sec and the guppy was history. There is absolute...

I've got a antenna lion that blatently refuses to eat any frozen meat. I have tried different sizes of lance fish, krill, different white fish. I have taken a whole lance fish on the end of a red straw and simulate a swimming fish. I have hide the straw behing a red gorgoinian, hide the straw...

Some info I got from other forums : http://www.thereeftank.com/forums/showthread.php?t=155875&goto=newpost Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** I haven't kept one, I actually won't keep one. So I can only tell you what I've learned from others who have. I don't...

Excellent pics. Please give me all the detail the settings. What shutter speed did you use?

I had the same problem with heat. I have a 1000 X 500 X 500 with 150W MH, 4 X T5 and 2X LED units. I bought a 150mm table fan and just blow onto the water and the heat problem is gone. I would recommend that because I did the same with my previous 1,2m tank with a close canopy.

This is during day time and shows that this nennies were peaceful to the button polys. However the two did not touch at night, This also gives the indication that this baby is only active and deadly at night. I also came oppon a article warning divers against this nennie espesially at night.

Can I hijack this post a bit. I see you advise silversides from PicknPay. The shop is rellavance here. How sure are we that the fish bought in a store is not injected with brine and if so what could the effects be on our marine live? Currently I stick with the frozen food from the LFS.

This photo was taken at night with the metal haylite swithed on for the photo. This showed that the nennie is capable of moving his stem in the direction of the pray. The stem is to his back. He never did that before or after that incident. What you can't see is that the fire cracher sits at...

Some night photo's at feeding time

Achilles, No it doesn't seem to use light for food. The change in shape is to accomodate the tube with the disc. This morning 02:10 the disc was the biggest I have seen it and the tube was not that long extended. I haven't seen the redish part react on any food in the water colum. Not even...

Here is my experience of this anemone. This was the day when I introduce the nennie to my tank. Day time: During day time this anemone seems harmless. I saw on several occations fish touching it with no after effects. The whole stem with the mouth is drawn back inside the body. Night...

Please help me with info regarding this nennie. If you have contact details of marine research institutions please let me know.

Thanks for info received thus far. I have tried all the revelant names and without succsess. So I will make a data base on experience. Currently I feed it krill. It is quite happy with that. I also start feeding it at night (Thought my kids are grown up). It is getting smaller at night but...

I bought a night anemone (Phyllodiscus semoni Feueranemone). Please give me info. I got from the net words like "most dangerous anemone, it can give you kidney failure), That is not exactly that I was looking for but very good to know.

I've got a rose bubble tip anenome which was in a good condition. My cleaner shrimp is irritating the anenome the past 2 days. It will sit in the anenome until it closes. Now the anenome is closed in a ball shape from about 14:30. I couldn't feed the anenome last night for the same reason...
