Fishobob Posted February 3, 2003 Author Share Posted February 3, 2003 Anyone willing to help out a lone aussie nano reefer? Everything is almost brought and about to be setup.. So give me some advise or criticism please....... Link to comment
Rocket_155 Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 another aussie on the board woohoo, i wounder how many that makes 4 maybe 5? Sounds like a good setup. How much are you paying for those 250Watter from and how much, cause all i can find for the 250Ws are over $400? Also i think there is a supp. made by kent that is called B-ionic. Also, have you joined the RTAW message board for us aussies? Click here for the Marine Aquarium message board for australia Link to comment
Fishobob Posted February 4, 2003 Author Share Posted February 4, 2003 Good to hear there is a few aussies here, wasnt sure if there was or not: Yeah I got my metal halide setup for $445, little expensive but i know the shop guy well and he's good to me. Could have got 250watt 6500k from other store for 250 but they are pretty crappy. Rather go for the better quality and a guy I can trust. B-ionic is made by esv and it isnt imported into aus, I wanted it but i would have had to get it shipped from the US, $$$ Haven't joined that place though I will do it as I type. Cheers Mate Any other comments? Link to comment
kimura Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Sounds good! But if you want to save some money, I'd go for a piccolo skimmer inside the fuge area or in the sump if you have one. As far as B-ionic...... well I've heard that C-Balance is very similar, you could try that. Link to comment
Fishobob Posted February 4, 2003 Author Share Posted February 4, 2003 Who makes C-balance? I dont think I'd be able to get it over here because unfortunately we dont have much stuff on offer here, seachem and kent is about all i know of I think ill stick with the prism, i can get it for $250 wholesale so thats pretty good and its one of the better skimmers we have on offer here Link to comment
