New LPs corals, Duncan and candy cane

I have been looking recently at getting some corals and came across two really great frags at what i thought to be a bargain. They are LPS corals, i am really starting to fall in love with these types of corals. I got a candy cane frag for £15.00 and a Duncan for £25.00. I wanted a different colour of coral than green that i seam to be mainly keeping. I will frag these and hopefully swap or trade to gain different colour variety after they have grown.

The main thing now that i have to take great care in is maintaining is magnesium, calcium and alkalinity. I suspect these will become depleted more quickly now my stock as increased.
Target feeding these corals is also something new to me. I will be feeding mainly red plankton, mysis and artema in the form of frozen food. I will try feeding twice a week and see how things go and increase if necessary using one of my water syringes

Heres the pictures

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 .
