Ummm, you are not going to be impressed... It is in Daltons Aquatic Mix, light is a 75w Philips Softone Warm Daylight (common old BC lamp in a clip on desk lamp) Water is at 23deg, pH somewhere between 8 and 8.5 on a JBL test kit.

I'm with Stella on this one... What does the little sign between the fishtanks say, just out of curiosity...

Can you wait until the Exec meeting, or do you want me to send it?

Dang, was hoping it was something different! Want some for your 'new project' Jim? Now to find out which Crypt the triffid is...

Speaking of triffids... Look what I found in my Killie tank today. Below the water Now, where is the Cryptkeeper when you need him?

Don't know what is underneath - Grant recons a large bulb and the ability to move and a stinging tongue thingy, then? Perhaps I had better don some goggles and have a poke around in the bottom of the bucket - it is only 22l

Nice work!

I have this growing in a bucket outside, acquired it from my sister-in-law's bathtub fishtank. Any ideas?

Can't say I'm a fan of the rounded edges either - and I am rather partial to black silicone...

Yeowch - you wern't kidding about not cheap! http://www.aquaria.com.au/catalog/index.php/cPath/6_86

N1ck doesn't like the shape of them - he would prefer more length than depth

What sort of fish do you fancy putting in there? A group of all the same, or a mixed community, or a biotope. I would say killies, but then I am biased

In conjunction with events nationally, the Hawke’s Bay branch of the Ulysses club has organised an ACC protest for Saturday, October 31. This will be in the Anderson Park Auckland Road car park, from 11.30am. The intention is not to ride, but to gather as a group, and a visible protest. There will be an opportunity for people to talk about what their clubs are doing, and to gather support for each activity. There will be no formal ride as a group, but a ride in event. Posted on behalf of my boss...

She did it a while ago, Wok, forgot to show you the other day. I have been told it is a stingray - in no uncertain terms...

Owch, and you guys say I'm mean!

Hmmm, never mind the clamped tails, I have just realised that they don't have any dorsal fins!

It's the bit that holds the fish to the back wall, it sticks out about 30mm, and they jiggle when you bump the 'tank'. *lifts tank up to see overflow system* - Hmm must be some new fangled slimline system?

Courtesy of my seven year old - can't work out if it is fresh or salt water...

Pic 2, could be a reflection, but it looks a bit weird when you yank the highlights up, and I cannot tell if it is behind or in front of the fish, but the glass definitely needs a clean with a lint free cloth - I can see water marks and fluff!

Shrimp like high oxygen levels - bit counter productive to try and pump Co2 in there as well, it will get dissipated.

Nice action shot, Supa. Looks good Ryan, there seems to be an inconsistency in the background of the tank, I can see it in both of the landscape versions of the unedited pics, bottom left quarter.

Perhaps you should be asking that question around the other way? In my unheated tanks I have Java fern, Java moss, Riccia and several types of Crypt.

Nope, I am the only one with the pointy stick... Wok is pretty harmless, unless you try and steal his food...
