  1. A 32mm drill bit is perfect for 25mm plumbing Brad
  2. Bad Luck Caryl I hope you get some luck finding everything Though one problem with having your Licence on your Keychain Doesnt this mean your giving your keys and address to someone who just stole your bag>? Id be more worried about them knowing where I live and having keys to get in Brad
  3. Also might help if you look for UM I use 50um in the shop and occasionally get 75um These are plenty think enough though when I ship I double bag them as well Brad
  4. Id say more then likely any mouthful U get could have been crossed Simple though If you want a display tank just let the fry get eaten and dont remove any of the fry Brad
  5. Well any media will clog up if you let it get dirty I have been running Matrix for years and its still as good as the day I bought it And Bioballs are going to clog up alot more then most media for the way the balls are designed Brad
  6. Alot of fish will jump out of your tanks given the opportunity Also the flipping on the ground more then likely caused him to move so far from the tank I once found a Pleco when I got to work near the door around 8 metres from his tank He was hard and covered in fluff but he survived once I put him back in water Brad
  7. Ahh thats a no Bioballs are an ok filter media but I dont rate them at all AT least out of the water they function but underwater they are virtually ineffective The pumice will have a huge surface area and will still function underwater I wouldnt waste ur time and money replacing them Brad
  8. I must ask the question why are replacing the Pumice? especially with BioBalls? Brad
  9. Hey guys This is so bad and unbelievably cruel This is a link to an article I wrote on the subject I did get some of the information online http://www.qldaf.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1027 Plus go tohttp://www.deathbydyeing.org Brad
  10. I used to play but I quit when I was 17 I was playing of 2 then Its just became to stressful, and I didnt enjoy it anymore I have been back a few times every 3 or 4 years usually only play for a few months and stop again Each time I generally start again on about 10 and get to 7 and leave again lol Oneday I wanna get back into it but I dont know when Quite a few of my mates who I played with as Juniors have become Pro's Brad
  11. A PH of 7.6 isnt high though if a fish came a PH of 6 its a big jump How old is your test kit a 10% change shouldnt affect it that much straight away though how long after the water change did you restest the PH If it was straight away its possibel te water hadnt completely mixed and u got a sample of main tank water Think of mixing chocolate milk for the idea Brad
  12. If you use an airsytone at the same time your going to be releasing alot of Co2 out of your tank It will lower your PH if you use it to much but if it is turned off at night you should be fine Though the Hardness levels with show you there Also I cant see it suffocating your fish I run 5 bubbles a sec into my tank and the fish are fine I also use no airstones Brad
  13. I dont think I have seen a True species of either in Australia as when they were first imported they both came in as Red Devils and from then on been breeding with either Id say it would be the same in NZ If it was me Id be calling it a Red Devil and not going by a scientific name as you can be sure either way I know my male and female looked Midas to me but threw Lab babies with big lips Brad
  14. Ummm Crown Towers? If so thats about 10 mins from my shop Either way I am sure we can work something out and get you around easily Might have to work on Herefishiefishie as he likes the LFS fish run too Brad
  15. Hey Peanuts Im on the Gold Coast about 45 mins south of Brisbane Let me know when ya coming and ill give you some directions for ya depending on where ya staying Afrikan let me know what ya after and I am sure we can work something out Im not sure on Postage costs but shouldnt be to bad for a couple of books Brad
  16. Well that new Malawi one is only $160 in Oz lol The Enjoyin Cichlids books is always a great read aswell Just about anythng from Ad Konings is generally worthwhile I keep them all in stock here if anyone is interested Brad
  17. It works great with alot of species but generally the Africans Americans dont want hidey holes they want the whole tank so this wont exactly work Though I know when I get down to a few Oscars they tend to fight thugh when it is full there isnt even an arguement Its great for raising up Alto's but also having a bare tank helps Brad
  18. For the top of the range I wouldnt go past the Brand new Malawi Cichlids in their Natural Habitat 4th ed Although its not cheap its one of the best books you can buy and all the information is upto date Or the back to Nature range is also great for a cheap alternative Brad
  19. Another problem with Beef is the fat is a different fat then fish are used to consuming and they dont digest it as well Brad
  20. Maybe you should reread the post I said it went to sleep very quickly but didnt die straight away Yeah he died not long after but still being asleep as this process is taking place ensures it pain free Have you ever had surgery? Did you feel the knife cut into your body? How many younger members are you going to encourage to use a knife when using clove oil is a safe alternative Brad
  21. I bought it from the Chemist but I think health food shops sell it as well Its mainly used for tooth aches as it numbs the pain very well Brad
  22. Clove oil has been used on humans for anesthetic b4 and with the correct dose you ill wake up will no ill effects I agree with some types though people have been known to just become paralyzed not unconscious though you will know also this is extremely rare so I doubt it is going to be common with fish either Brad
  23. LOL yeah there are a few of them as well Nah thse guys were all inquiring about taking products home with them Most of the time it was th range of real looking plastic plants and books Brad
  24. Hans maybe you have misread the post The slowing down in where the body loses consciousness Have you ever seen someone have an operation Going to sleep is very very quick and very painfree I think id rather die in my sleep then have someone cut my head off Brad
