Read my post.

If you want to use it for male fighters it would be best to use clear glass.

I am not sure but I think that both mdf and ply contain ureaformaldehyde which gives off formaldehyde when heated. That is why I painted mine. I think both are used extensively and should be OK if sealed. I think it would be best to use untreated ply if using that as lizards tend to lick everything.

If you have a light on it you will want it about the leval it is so you are looking down onto it rather than up into the lights. Besides I think the switches are in the way. (Grant, we can negotiate my reward for getting you out of a job)

That is what I have for my beardies. 1200X600X600 12mm ply untreated and painted. Works good for them so should with geckos. If you are advised not to use sand you could use synthetic lawn.

Can't be that then. 10ppm is not high. Your biggest problem with algae happens when you have low nitrate and high phosphate.

I have fly traps and feed them to the frogs.

It is a plant fertilizer so probably contains nitrate. 10PPM is not high and many water supplies could be near that from the tap.

Glue is a handy thing I think.

Depends on what plants you have in there.

Great work.

There may already be line bred termites trained to make points on sticks.

I am having alot of problems getting the powers that be to tell me yes or no as to the status of aquatic plants in NZ so I can imagine that getting the status of reptiles would be even harder. Having spent over 30 years working as a bureaucrat in Local Government I believe I have some understanding of bureaucracy and these people should have answers and be prepared to give them in writing and stick to them so that people know what is legal and what is not.

Very interesting.

Buying live food will make the cost of the lizards seem cheap. I am feeding 10 baby beardies at present and they are eating like there is no tomorrow.

It is to keep your gunpowder dry.

Not with feet like that and white down.

I grow a few but they probably will not be ready until late summer or autumn. Echinodorus red special, barthii, ozelot, uraguayensis should be OK.

3 chicks is a lot from a cockatoo isn't it?

You probably know that the word proof (as in booze) comes from the tax inspectors in the good old days that used to put a pile of gunpowder on the bar, buy a nip of spirits and pour it over, then light it. If the gunpwder burned at the end it was proof that the spirits had not been watered down. I am told that some of the bars in old pubs in England still have the burn marks on them. Proof is about double the percentage w/v. Ordinary whiskey is 43% and vodka about 38% I think so it is not super strong. Should still burn though. What a waste.

Indica has a complex "hairy" flower compared to aquatica.

The picture is of the submersed juvenile form but will put up full sized floating leaves in time. They need a very rich media to develop the bananas. The flowers look as though they are different on indica and aquatica so it may mean checking the flowers. To be honest I have propagated quite a few from disconnecting leaves but have not seen flowers or bananas so cannot be sure.

If the big plant is what I think it is (E. cordifolius) it will grow taller untill all you see is stalks. It might pay to repace it with one of the medium sized Echinodorus sp. or E. uraguayensis if you can get one.

Welcome and I hope your time here is enjoyable.
