It only stops and goes once you have turned the car off.. So it may be an airlock that moves or settles as the car heats up/cools down.. But once you start it and water isn't flowing through radiator then that is it it wont start no matter what you do..

The water isn't flowing through the radiator so the fans come on but just blow onto a cool radiator with no coolant flowing through it so they don't do anything..

2000 wingroad with a CQ18DE in it. It is certainly looking like a air lock or something like that, I haven't removed the top heater hoses yet might try that... I have pulled thermostat out (maybe it has 2 though?) so that isn't the issue, and have run water through the radiator when I drained all the fluid out and water flows through fine.

Yeah I am picking an airlock too, followed the procedure to fill it correctly there is a plug you remove above the thermostat you fill it until coolant comes out there, and then fit the plug and continue to refill, have run it and waited for coolant level to drop.. Radiator is fine it is a 2000, the issue is that there is no water flowing through the radiator (but I can run water through it so it isn't blocked) and it is intermittent. Yeah thermostat looks a bit hit and miss no worries getting a dud one off the shelf but would expect car to be running right 100% of the time if it was removed not randomly? Will post in TM and see what they say cheers repto

So our nissan wingroad has been overheating quite often recently, as long as we keep moving it seems to be fine.. I investigated and found that water was not flowing through the radiator (hot pipe on top cold pipe on bottom and no hot air comes out on full hot inside) so straight away figured the thermostat so changed that.. That made no difference so I figured water pump so me and a mate changed that, while it was drained of coolant we blew water through the radiator and engine block to ensure nothing was blocked. Sure enough it was still doing it, so I removed the thermostat and it appeared to work fine (of course assumed dud new thermostat). We drove it into town last night and sure enough it started overheating (still no thermostat fitted), when my wife went to pick it up today it went fine (normal temp hot air comes out) but then she took a trip to the supermarket a bit later on again again it overheated no hot air etc.. So it is doing my head in, if you keep moving then it doesn't get over 3/4 on the temp gauge but it can't be good for it to going up and down in temp. The temperature also seems to swing very fast like it will drop from 3/4 to under a half in a matter of seconds which seems a bit fast to me? So this is really doing my head in there isn't much to the system and it shouldn't be that hard to figure it out?

I am breeding demasoni. Not electric blues yet but working on it

Yeah fluoros on a white back ground seem to work really well

Henwood just advertised his cheap..

Awesome looks great Love those peacocks.. Are they the stuartgranti yellows from Mike?

Yeah Simon that was what I was referring to.. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/SearchResults.aspx?searchType=5964-5965-&searchString=metal+halide&type=Search&generalSearch_keypresses=12&generalSearch_suggested=0 Then head to fish steets or similar and buy the right temp bulbs and your away Sometimes have to wire them up to a bit of flex and mount them but you can control where the light goes how high they are etc.. And alot cheaper..

Why not source some 150W commercial units and then buy bulbs might set you back $150-200 and then mount them so they throw light over the whole tank would be far cheaper.. Unless of cousre you are wanting to spend alot more for flash looking ones?

Awesome! Looks like they have grown, got an awesome algae coating on those rocks too, they must love it..

lol your such a nube Yeah data packs are quite cheap.. I was saying it wouldn't be much use to me personally because I have systems that keep track of everything.. However I could see the merit in something where you setup a tank maintenance schedule and it gave you a reminder to do water changes on certain tanks and maybe various things you should check (temp filter etc) every so often. Because sometimes people don't think about checking these things and it can cause issues..

The system is not crutial If they have lost their egg sacks then wait 3 weeks and you would have kept them alive for 30 days and register the breeding..

Yeah we have iphones with 2degrees too, the pre pay data packs are pretty cheap for them wife I pay $6 for 50mb or $10 for 100 which is quite a bit of data allows me to do quite a bit..

Cool, I would probably recommend a small tank and sponge filter or something like that even if not needed now it is handy especially with cichlids when something gets a hiding.. If he is unwell then you will need to catch and treat him, hopefully he is feeling better tonight!

Do some reading http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/biosec/c ... ental-fish But in short translates to $$$$$$ and tons of time to do it yourself, and if you wanted someone else to import for you just translates to $$$$$

If you have a half descent phone you can just go on the net and look up profiles as you go anyway so no point building an app to do the same thing? Can't see much point in something that tracks your water changes and stuff, suspect it would end up being like most apps - cool to use in the beginning but soon gets boring and you stop using it.. Just m 2c worth though haven't even looked to see if there is anything like that for my iphone.

I think fluoro stones plastic fluoro plants and some goldfish will look like an animates special

Do you have a hospital tank? I would be removing him and taking pics and sticking him in a small tank in preparation for treating him, some salt overnight probably wouldn't hurt.

Should be able to touch it without it being sticky after an hour or so.. Im with Zayne what silicone did you use? And what temp has it been kept in?

A high ph can cause all sorts of issue to fish that aren't designed to live in it.. Stress is the major one which can make the fish susceptible to all sorts of things. Do you have any pics of the damage to its mouth or can you describe it? Is it eating?

Yeah that would be awesome, or you could leave the top open, and grow tons of plants out the top Would be wicked..

That would be a waste, those tanks have an awesome footprint you would be able to do something very cool with them
