So what do you think and what are your experiences with keeping fish in a reef system and a fish only system, in your experience were/are your fish more healthy than in the other and if so why? Personally, my fish seem more comfortable in my reef than when I had a fish only system but that was...

Both are good units. However, just one company offers a complete fitting system using it's own technicians, not subcontractors along with a complete 5 year guarantee on the unit and the fitting if that is important to you.

There is lots of stuff you can buy from none aquatic places you just need to think outsides the box, open your eyes and think a little.

Homebrew stuff for the aquarium. Syphoning set for acclimatising corals just £3, filter bags bottle and brushes to clean skimmers etc available from .... I will leave you to guess from where as none forum sponsor.

The amount of air pushed out is quite small and it is air laden with moisture of course, The unit does not run continuously only when the temperature resulting in condensation drops and is far more economical than say a dehumidifier or extractor fan running even a similar amount of time...

Below is an explanation from one of the leading companies supplying PIV units. Basically, instead of sucking moisture laden air out of the property as with an extractor fan or removing it and depositing the moisture into a vessel you have to empty daily etc as with a dehumidifier, a PIV unit...

As far as I am aware it won't work in a box it has to be fitted and supplied with electricity I am reliably informed. :zpong::rolleyes:;):comp4:

All UK forums including UR are a lot quieter probably but not exclusively due to the march of Facebook forums unfortunately and you takes your pick.

Ordered one just waiting for it to arrive from China, I am obviously in no rush :) Pic's will follow as and when

I was a mod by night rocker by day complete with motorbike and Belstaff gear, brogues and 3 piece suit in evening at weekends :motorino:

Thanks Dan, I am always afraid somebody will ask what SPS I have as I can't remember most of them. However, some are a tri-colour Hystrix, a Guttartus. Strawberry shortcake, blue tipped acro. Steripora.Stylopora Milliporas, Montiporas red and forest fire, Setosa (forgive the spellings) and...

Thanks most of which have been grown from frags and moved from tank to tank.
