    Hey Shrimp_Man -

    You can post pics now! When You hit reply, look below the message box you type in and you will see 'attach' with a box next to it and a browse button. Just hit browse and find the picture on your computer. Then hit post! That's it.

    (you can't preview a message with a picture attachment because of some dumb security thing that I would love to turn off. Just hit 'post.')

    Welcome back dude! [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

    Hmm. I will try and take an OK photo and post it up. I got a coral today, but im not sure what kind it is. ill take a close up of it, and post it up to see if you can recognise it. The lfs is renovating, theyre putting in some tanks that'll have halides over them, so maybee theyll have some SPS corals soon. If thats the case, ill start saving for a MH light. would 250w be OK? Coz another lfs has a 250w halide 2nd hand thats going cheap, so i might get it. If i did i would hang it about 2 ft off the surface of the water.

    cya later

    ive started making a dosing/top off system that was in one of your links matt. all i need is a plastic container with a lid to hold the water, and im getting one today. so the whole thing should be finished by tonight. What are some good additives to dose my tank with. ive seen the kent marine range so far. know anything about it?

    COOL! [smiley=thumbs_up.gif]

    THat's great Shrimp_Man. I hope it works.

    I dosed kalk regularly with my float mixed with the evap water and Iodine and strontium occasionally. Probably do the same. At least the kalk. I still have the kalk, I will look and see who made it.

    Hey if you get pics or whatever, start a new thread! ;)

    This one is a little long now for new people to take in...

    WAY TO GO MAN!
