My TMC Aquarays have arrived

Hooray! my Aquabeams have arrived. I ordered these Friday night and arrived today the 18th of February. A Great service from Reefstore. One reef blue and three reef whites purchased as duo combos. They were £150 per pair, the cheapest i have found on the Internet with a £5 delivery charge.

I have mounted these temporary to see how they look. Wow the blue is wicked. i was right to order just the one. The whites i find slightly yellow, but until they are mounted in my upcoming hood project, as the saying goes, time will tell. There is plenty of light though, glad i Incorporated this amount of aquabeams. The shimmer effect is amazing, looks really cool!

At least now thanks to the really cool running of these lights my evaporation should be much less and most importantly the electricity meter should slowing down. As stated in my DIY Reef hood project post these lights will reduce my lighting bill for the tank 50%.

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...

Six thing to avoid as a new Reef Keeper

So what should you avoid when keeping a reef aquarium when new to this fascinating hobby? Lack of knowledge. This is very important, you should learn as much as possible before even thinking about buying anything. Books are expensive, but there are many other Articles and Informative Forums on-line packed with information and help. Hard corals. These should be avoided until a full understanding of water chemistry and a confidence in maintaining these levels are achieved. These corals require more intense lighting requirements and feeding. Compatibility also creates issues too. As above really, learn about water chemistry, then research your coral selection carefully. Expensive unnecessary equipment. As a newbie to Reef Keeping it is totally unnecessary to purchase Computers, Reactors, Top up devices, and any other fancy items that may arise. I say this because as a new Reef Keeper you need to understand and manage a Reef Aquarium. Having fancy computers and reactors will create load...

Fish Idea is up

It was about this time last year that the ground-breaking Coral idea free guide to corals was available. After a really long year of development and content production they are now very pleased to present you to the Fish idea free guide to reef fish. With over 500 species including many rare and unusual species, the digital file is just 15 Megabytes. Whereas the Coral idea guide originally only provided coral identification, the Fish idea guide includes Latin and common names, average maximum size in inches and centimeters as well as symbols to represent hardiness, food preference and fish coral and coral compatibility. There is a quick and intuitive English symbol legend in each fish chapter and they have also included a germantranslation of the symbol legend which was kindly provided to them by Rainer Schindwolf .
