Utility bills high. How to Save up to 40%. 2 simple steps.

The rising cost of energy could be enough to consider closing down your Aquarium but there are a couple of really simple ways you can reduce this by approximately 40%.

The first won’t cost anything and can be completed in no time at all.
Changing your utility supplier every 12 months is highly recommended  and can save you a reasonable amount of cash. You may not realise but after twelve months your current supplier will increase your tariff. You can call them to see if you can get a better deal or change.

As of publishing this I have found a supplier producing green energy at a great rate called bulb. Check them out for latest deals. Plus you will get £50 cash back. Take a look!

The second method. Requires a little financial Outlay but will be made back in approximately 2 years. The method is the use of a Tado Smart Thermostat. This links to your phone and uses something called geolocation. Basically put this means when you’re not home you’re heating is reduced. Then upon your return the temperature rises to your preset temperature. Saving money by only being on when you are home. Tado vouch that savings of around 30% are common place. I can confirm this is definitely achievable. There is fantastic backup and customer service for any queries. I highly recommend a look and a serious consideration for this fantastic product

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.

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...
