LOL! LIGER! napolean dynamite? :lol:

I have 2 x 2 footers and a 2.5 footer you could borrow :lol: Oh and i still need to give you a ring sometime and come check out your tanks

Haha, oh and by the way, Paul was driving and decided to park there!! :lol:

Today the Western bay aquarium and pond society had a club outing to rotorua to see wonderworld aquarium and pet centre. 7 of us left Te Puke at 10:30 and travelled to wonderworld in sharron and pauls big vehicle. After spending about an hour looking around wonderworld and then finally buying our goodies, we went and bought a few $$ hot chips and we went to the lake to sit down and have lunch.... We decided to have it in the middle of the roundabout :roll: The tourists took photos and waved at us Twas' a good day :lol:

Yea i have whiptails in with bristlenose and a clown pleco, and they are sweet as

im also keen to know how a cycle can be done so fast, and the process in which things need to be done. Seems like alot of chemicals and stuff to be putting into a tank 2-4 hours before the fish... But, im not going to say its impossible, as it obviously works for you.... Nice tank BTW. I dont like goldfish, and i prefer my tanks differently, but it doesnt matter, you like it, and it does look quite nice. Everyone has their own tastes eh? Well done, and good on you for saving the poor goldies

I think that you can hatch them if you want, but you dont need too

Dont believe a word she says Oh and welcome

pottasium permanganate; mix up a solution and soak the plants in it. Sorry im not 100% on amounts and times.

hey i recognise those tanks and that doorway your planted tank is just to the left of that eh? 8) Looks mint shane, very profesional.

If you think you can do it, then do it and test it outside FIRST. be prepared to loose the whole thing if it explodes apart too :-? Otherwise, yea, take it to someone who knows what they are doing, all ready to go, and it wont cost you too much, and you will get a good job done on it....

Far, id show up just for the stone throwing :lol:

as you said, you wont realy know unless you try, so chuck some WCMM in and see

Too late sharn, ive already been in touch

thats a good point, but is it worth the hassle? just dip all new arrivals into a potassium permanganate dip, or bleach if necessary

the key to nice healthy plants is not only light, they need co2 and nutrients aswell. usualy you get co2 from fish waste, and nutrients from fish waste, and water changes, and dosing something like flourish, although if you are serious with plants you can get co2 injection and better, more specific ferts....

what lighting you got over that tank mystic? co2? ferts? substrate? looks pretty nice

so the common name for these is american flagfish?? is that right or am i totaly wrong :lol: Animal antics in the mount almost always have them when i go there. i dont take much notice in sexes or anything but will definately have a closer look when im there next

yep looks wicked to me too

yep thats the one

Wiring could be dodgy if it was DIY, maybe just go through and check all connections and stuff first, then if its still not working replace/repair the ballast

I always just chuck new stems straight into the substrate. they will eventually grow roots

Bit off the flea bomb topic but has anyone used those mozzy deterant things that you plug into the wall? they'd be sweet with fishtanks wouldnt they? only come out in a small amount. stupid mozzys keep biting me, i want rid of them!
