Heya Mystic! Fancy meeting you here! How are the little tiger barbs doing?? I really miss them At least they went to a good home... When do you have your meetings and are they at your pad? Cheers, Rockpool (A.K.A. Badfish) P.S. Hey Caper, Nice to eMeet you. Don't want to make you jealous or anything but I'm just setting up tank 3 now

Hi Guys, Caryl my 180L and the cylinder have been set up for about 3 months and showing no Ammonia or Nitrite, and about 20ppm Nitrate so I think they are both fairly well established. Thanks for the tip Pegasus, I'll just seed off the cylinder for now as I don't think I can wait to put the first few fishys in there! Many thanks to both of you for your advice. Cheers Shaun

Hi Caryl, Thanks for the advice - I will action immediately, what about theiving the filter media, not a good idea? Cheers

Hi Shae, So what do people in the Stokes Valley do for thrills then? and yes perhaps 'nerd' was a bit harsh - how about 'enthusiast'? I really look forward to getting involved, sounds like some good folk who hang here. Cheers

Hey Jude! Yeah yeah I'm sure youve heard that one before.... I'm based in the mighty Hutt Valley (Waiwhetu) Probably not much longer though as I'm sure my girlfriend is going to kick me and all my fishys out on the street! Cheers

Hi All, Bit of a novice so go easy... I have recently set up a 180L tropical freshwater tank (Dwarf Gouramis, Pearl Gouramis, Yellow Labs (someone told me to OK!) , Neons, Bristlenoses and Platys. Also a 130L experimental cylindrical tank (Angels, Platys, Tetras, Plec) and am well and truly HOOKED! (Now I understand how all you fish nerds get your thrills!) One of my Pearl Gouramis got whitespot so I read a few forums and put whitespot cure in recommended dosage and raised the temp to 30 degrees. This was about 4 days ago and now all of the cysts have fallen off bar one. How long are the fishys prepared to accept the temp this high? Also I am setting up another tank, and want to syphon off filter media from the already established tanks, would it be a completely absurd idea to use media from the 180L given there has been a case of whitespot? Cheers, Rockpool
