think i overloaded the outlet and it sparked up n caught a fire. I need to get a GFCI outlet and probably get an electrician to put a couple other outlets in the room. I currently have 4 outlets available but the amount of things to plug in... heres a break down

3 koralias
mag drive return pump
protein skimmer
8 t5's run with 4 plugs
moonlights
maxi jet for auto top off
maxi jet for phosban reactor
HOB filter
eheim carbon filter
air stone

total of 15 plugs on 4 outlets is a recipe for disaster especially around saltwater, so i need to organise something.

all them thing coming from one breaker?
you should run those tings off voltage regulators.NOT A STRIP EH!!
a guy was by raj some mths ago and he bought d latest reef computer ($15G's). It only lasted 2 wks................ T&TEC had a spike and d computer was no more................

let me tell you what i did.....................
Brought 2 separate lines to the tank (separate breakers)
I wrote down every electrical item i want and put the rating in watts on the side.
Went and buy 2- 600W voltage regulators......(THANKS TO RORO)
Went tru the listing and divided up the items by wattage and by the time they remain on. (so like the 2 vortec pumps not on the same breaker, or the main pump and the protein skimmer. so in the event that one breaker trips, half the items still running)
If both breakers trip or current goes, the battery back-up has power to run the 2 vortec pumps for 15hrs and the air-pumps kick in.

Boy my project got scrapped. I am down to one small tank with 3 3' discus. & they suffering. tank on about half of water & the filter stopped wrking all kinda thing. Time is what I am not getting. I plan on gettin my own place next yr Plz God & I am going to start back full time & dedicate one entire room for just breeding of the discus...

Hence the reason I am not on tuner & this great thread that much but I am very proud to see it has reached 100 pages!!

If its one thing i will warn all would-be saltwater people.................

Make sure and check your rock before you put it into your tank especially if you get it from our local waters. A mantis shrimp is not a nice thing to have in your tank. its just a bloody miniature T-REX

when i catch him i will post a pic of him he is about 1 1/4" long and olive green

[sharkman121]

wat he eat?

[HondaB20B]

Cleaner & peppermint shrimp X4, snails X ? cromis X 2.
at last thats what he start with so far

[sharkman121]

damnn....an i thought my snowflake eel was bad.

speaking of which, i found a chromis in the sump last night that was missing for 2 weeks. I jus thought the eel had ate him

[HondaB20B]

put piece of egg-crate ontop of the overflow this will stop any fish, snails, or plants going down you overflow and clogging d drain pipes.

[sharkman121]

yeh i know, been meaning to do this for the longest while.

[HondaB20B]

well i aint catch mantis shrimp, s i end up taking out 2 rocks that he keep playing peek-a-boo with me and left it out of the water for some hrs ............... hope i got him

Hey guys, Ive been putting aside some work Ive been meaning to do on my aquarium and i finally have some time.


I need to upgrade my filter, right now I have a whisper 4 hang on and its seen quite a few years so I think is time I get myself a new one. Id like to get back a hang on and Ive seen good reviews on the Hagen AquaClear, is it available locally? What about replacement parts? Ive had the tetra need parts in the past and I ended up buying them online, wouldnt like to have a filter down for 2weeks again.

Also Im looking to get rid of my kois (PM if anyone is interested in them, they are aproximatly 5inchs big, no illnesses etc) and replace them with some dwarf gourami's.

Where in south can i get dwarf gourami's? Im looking to get about 3females and pair of males maybe. What ca I expect to pay for the red ones?

Im also looking at adding a light to my aquarium but as I dont have a hood right now, I was thinking to fit the light to the back of the glass at the bottom? Or would that heat the water too much?


Thanks

^^^^^ you can get the Hagen AquaClear and parts at natures world on rushworth st in sando at good prices. those filters real good. I think they also have the dwarf gourami's.

Nice! Just what I wanted to hear Would give them a call in the morn to find out the prices. My tanks is a 40gall iirc so ill aim for a filter size to handle a 20% excess.



Im guessing they would also have a lighting solution..
