Diskusting Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Added -10 more pounds of liverock -rubble for the fuge -replaced pump with hydor koralia 400 But I am having problems with the koralia 400, the flow is so weak you can barely feel the flow when you put your hand in front of it, could it be busted or do I need to do something? Heres an FTS and rockwork shot. NEED HELP WITH THE KORALIA 400! ANY ADVICE? Link to comment
ender wiggin Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 you should definitely be feeling something if you put your hand in front of the Koralia. I know I had one that wasn't working and I took it apart and cleaned it and now it works great. Maybe try that? If not, the motor might just be worn out. What kinda of heater is that? I'm trying to find a heater that I can fit in my filter like that but all the ones i've found are too big. Link to comment
Diskusting Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 sorry can't help with the heater, I bought it at a local fish store a long time ago and don't have the box. Its a fully submersible heater , you could always try putting two lower wattaged heaters in there so they would fit. Link to comment
latteslave Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 there are a couple of mods I have read for the K400 - involves cutting out some of the plastic on the front vent... From what you are describing though, it sounds more like it is just not working properly. Link to comment
Diskusting Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 I got some Pulsing Xenia for, a talbot's damsel, and a peppermint shrimp. FTS: 3-30-10 Ignore the reflection Link to comment

Diskusting Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 thanks, I have a talbots damsel... I'm trying to find a 6 line but I can't seem to find one. Link to comment
chucktdbm321 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 hey just to warn you... xenia, gsp, kenya tree and other soft corals grow like crazy! I made the mystic of putting GSP on one of my larger rocks and it completely over grew it and now i completely regret so just keep an eye out on that stuff especially xenia Link to comment
Diskusting Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Heres updated photos as of 11/27/2010: I have only had slight problems with slime and hair algae as well as not replacing bulbs well. So I almost lost all of the coral and have seen little growth. And I also lost my pepermint shrimp. Other than that its a pretty happy tank. I love this six line wrasse I have, it has so much character it is by far my favorite fish I've ever had. Does anyone know how long Six lines live for? I want to keep this fish forever. Heres the fish, mushrooms, and chalice and some FTSs. Link to comment
