cleaner wrasse

Post by terbit »

Just added what should be my last fish to the system a small cleaner wrasse it's funny to watch the other fish pull up midstream for him to have a go at them.
PS:can anyone give me any hints as to why when I take a picture of full tank it looks yellow but when I am close up it comes out the normal colour of tank?Also I might have to see if any-one is interseted in the odonus trigger as he is starting to get a bit aggresive towards the other fish in the tank.
FTS looking yellow yet again

exploding halide

Post by terbit »

Thanks Spides and Tony
Has any-one else had a halide globe explode ?
On Wed night I had one explode,I was in the back of the house and heard it go off.Nearly SH#* myself I thought the tank had exploded.
On Thur pulled the unit down to replace the globe only to find the end had welded to the holder went to electrical wholesalers to get a replacement holder only to be asked what is it?
I ended up having to strip down a shop fitter and modifying the pendant to suit it what a p#*#k of a job.
