Tom, Thanks for the advise. Sorry about the dimentions, in Australia we use feet and litres so sometimes my conversions are a little out. I was originally planning a 12x2x2 but have managed to go ahead with the 12x3x3. Could you give me JT's and Jeremy's email address. Where do I find the...

G'day all again, Any recommendations on a chiller for a 360g tank. I know it will not be cheep but I would like it as quiet and reliable as possible. Tehlia.

G'day all, I am in the early stages of planning a 12x3x3. I am slowing purchasing most of the "hardware" so when the time comes to move, the tank shall be the last to build. I will be going Biological filtration-LR and sand. Can anyone suggest which skimmer would do the job for a tank so large...

Thanks Ray and a very big thank you to Eric for such an insightful course, I have learned so much and can now confidently apply to my own aquarium. Let's celebrate and best of luck for the future, Take care all. Tehlia

Eric, Maybe I'm doing my usual trick of misinterpreting. I thought that Endolithic fungi were not deleterious to corals as in your lecture notes, "endolithic fungi associated with Ostreobium may invade coral polyps and cause the coral to form calcified cysts", I thought this mean't they were of...

Eric, Yes, I need you to clarify as the chat is not up yet. I thought we discussed that gonochoric spawners were the majority but when I read Ricmond(pge 178), he suggests "the rich majority of corals studied so far are simultaneous hermaphrodites". Maybe I have got things muddled up. Thanks...

Eric could you please clarify, What are the majority of species? Are they simultaneous hermaphrodities or are they Gonochoric spawners? I think I am misinterpreting what I'm reading. Thanks, Tehlia.

Lach, Look forward to Sat. night, I'm glad your wife is able to make it. Venue is Giorgios Restaurant, Crn Malvern & Glenferrie Rds, Malvern. 7.30pm start, about 15 are coming along. See you there, Tehlia.

Hey Lach, Are you crazy?, Haven't you enough to read? By the way are you coming on Saturday night, have to confirm numbers. I'm sure Eric will create a quiz just for you. Catch you later. Tehlia.

Eric, You mentioned that you may scale this question at the end of the course. Could you please clarify, would love to hear your comments. Thanks, Tehlia.

I hope someone may help or advise what I can do with a type of encrusting sponge growing on several of my clam shells. They are begining to prevent the mantles from fully enxtending. I'm begining to wonder if they are sponges as they are located in on the shells close to the surface of the...

Eric, All of the parts have come through 4 times (and possibly still coming)each. Including all of your messages. They are still coming in so I'm afraid to go into the emails as I don't know how many more will come through. My email has been receiving mail for hours so will not go into until I...

Eric, Is week 8 quiz due along with week 7 quiz? Tehlia.

Eric, Are there multiple answers on this quiz? On Q5, when you are refering to coral's are you including all corals(stony & soft)? Thanks, Tehlia.

Thanks to all for your advise. Jim, I was also wondering if the skimmate was reentering the tank. That's one of the reasons I turned it off before going to bed as the pump was blowing the bottom of the collection cup causing a mass of bubbles to the surface of the water. I didn't turn the...
