Caryl: wow 250 lt is a heck of a lot of water on the floor!!! what a sight that would have been...looking at my 90lt full i would freak if it burst... i was a bit worried when i first filled it, thinking imagine if there was a slight weak point somewhere and it burst at the seams, it would take hours to clean up...... i would have thought maybe insurance would cover loss due to that happening though... if something was permanently damaged though, maybe i should take out life insurance on fish just in case :lol: I was lucky enough to have my brother who gave me a huge sheet of polystyrene 4cm thick before i set up tanks. He used to be obsessed with fish-keeping, had tanks everywhere breeding and even talked to them, but four children later kinda was too busy to keep up with it. He still has a 250lt tank with 2 huge oscars, and a plec.
Shelley: Hey neighbour!! Where in Canterbury are you? I have just bought house in Temuka. Really like it here. Noticed the other day in town that the pet shop has new owners, hope things take a turn for the better in the fish department. And in the attitude of the people!! I really want to go to Chch for a look but can't quite justify going that far to look at fish ( and as we all know ... buy some) so waiting for a good reason to go up there (as an excuse)
