Aquascaping a Nano Reef Aquarium.

This week i am going to doing some aquascaping, I have put this off for many weeks and having read ultra marine magazine over the past few months there is a great article on building a reef aquarium with loads of information and tips.

I learnt that by placing your rock work to either side of your reef tank gives the illusion of more space and draws you eyes to the centre of the tank and hides the unnatural look of the nasty corners.

I am going to place the larger pieces of rock to the bottom to provide more stability and have purchased some deletec reef putty to make it more secure it is awkward when carrying out maintenance as the rocks move and make me nervous. The last thing i want to do is break something.

Hopefully this will then leave the centre open for corals and for the fish to swim and hide the pump, heater and skimmer sump that is home to rowaphoss and de-nitrate
Here go's





Ok not got rid of the sump, it does look a better and gives the effect the tank is bigger although not totally happy i think i will have another go at a later date.

Vauxhall vivaro movano heater blower motor not working. How to fix, repair

So it’s a cold winters morning your frozen to the bone, you jump into your vauxhall vivaro and turn the heaters on, it doesn’t work. In this article I will explain how to repair. There are commonly three things that can go wrong and it true to be said with most vehicles. These are the fuse, the motor, and or the heater resister. These should be checked in this order. Not only to keep costs down but is a good methodical way to solve the problem. A little contradictory but before you do anything just check if the motor works on any speeds at all. If it does, particularly the fastest speed. It safe to say the fuse and motor are working fine, and would probably mean that heater resister if faulty. If this doesn’t do anything you should grab the owners manual and locate the fuse. This can be checked visually by removing and looking at the fuse element or the use of a power probe and checking a power at both sides of the element. If the heater still doesn’t work, remove the motor a

New V2 Auto top up from TMC

After needing an auto top up unit for some time, with quite high costs for a unit that function seems very minimal. I have always been put off until now. Whilst reading ultra marine I saw a review and advertisements for the TMC V2 auto top up and more surprising is it's very affordable price tag. After further investigation it seems to have really good reviews on forums and blogs. I have to say it is a real good, easy to set up and cheap unit that functions perfectly. This should give me more stability and time to enjoy the aquarium.I will in a few weeks report back any improvements that it will hopefully make.
It has been some time since I posted on this blog. But with most things everything goes in cycles and though I should keep it going maybe not reef related but a great opportunity to save money and get cash back in a great fun way.   TopCashback   allows you to shop as normal but currently at time of publishing this post eBay are giving 4% cashback. All you need to to is click the  TopCashback  link  join and before making a purchase click through the cash back link on TopCashback and the money accumulates in your account. You then withdraw and spend it on whatever you like. There are hundreds of different shops and stores. It really doesn’t take long to accumulate. Some very well known businesses/brands give really good rates. You really could be buying those new lights, aquarium, pumps before you realised. And it’s probably most likely things you will be buying anyway.
