  1. You can add your location via the User Control Panel at the top right of the board if you are using the default style, it is the second button from the right. Under Options select Profile. Let me know if you have any problems.
  2. Photoshop is an image editing program, After Effects is a motion graphics and visual effects program, Adobe Premiere is the program that would best suit your purpose as it is a straight video editing program. It costs about $1000 to buy on a non academic licence and is rather hard to drive. I would try the free ones first, see if they do what you want them to.
  3. I think putting a cat door in the security screen would be easy to do, ask a company that installs or makes the screens. The problem may be if there is not enough gap between the two doors for the flap to operate correctly, unless your cats are able to pull the door open from the outside like some do when the door is set to swing one way in an effort to keep unwelcome 'visitors' from getting inside, it may not work. Is there already a cat door in the glass, you may have a real training effort ahead if the cat has to negotiate two doors! I am not casting aspersions on the ability of your cat, but the offspring of one of our cats would struggle to negotiate one cat door, let alone two!
  4. Your'e talking to the wrong person here I have several 54 ish litre tanks in the standard 600l x 300w x 300h config. One has two 15w fluro tubes, one grolux and one Philips Aquasky 6500k This tank grows Ambulia and Java fern quite well - this setup is quite old and needs a revamp I have two tanks that have single 18w Philips 865 cool daylight tube over them, one has a massive wad of Java moss and a few Java fern floating around in it, and Riccia on the top, which is not exactly flourishing, but it is not dying either. The other is a Hillstream Loach biotope with several varieties of Crypt growing quiet well in it. The last tank has two 36w 6500k PL lamps - I have just reset this tank up after turfing out most of the guppies, Riccia and Rotala rotundifolia that were growing rampantly in there. The following are growing well - Microsorum pteropus 'Windelov', Microsorum pteropus 'Narrow', Heteranthera zosteraefolia, Hygrophila polysperma 'Rosanervig', Riccia fluitans (which I could not get out of the tank, and it is stuck on everything and growing little rosettes everywhere), Echinodorus leopard and an Aponogeton that I thought had perished a year ago, but has sprouted out of the substrate (Dalton's propogating sand). Nutrafin Co2 system and dose with Flourish - haven't quite got the rate correct yet, and it has a bit of green hair algae on the java moss. Don't ask for a pic - there is too much BBA that I am trying to get rid of from the previous setup...
  5. I agree with Alan also here, whilst I usually quote the Fitch family link for a guide to watts per gallon, which is based on a study of Amano's tanks, it does not take into account the dimensions of the tank, only concerning itself with watts per gallon. There is a vast difference between a 54 litre tank that is only 300mm deep, compared to the same literage tank being 600mm high.

    As long as he didn't leave it under Jim's pillow......

    So, did the Wok fish fairy pay you a visit this morning, Jim?
  8. You should be able to just buy the reagents, I remember seeing them for JBL in one of our LPS some time ago, they were in a ziplock bag.
  9. Have you meticulously cleaned the front glass, some of the noise could be coming from there as well, you would be surprised how much a bit of dust or fluff shows on a pic like this. The other alternative is to not have a plain background like Hristo does so that you cannot see the fuzz!

    Sounds like you may have enough light, N1ck. If you want some more, I can send you a few little bits that are starting to annoy me in my 2footer, get stuck on the moss and grow in little clumps, mind you, having a Fluval 304 in one end of the tank probably doesn't help... They have deceptively large mouths, but it should be ok for a while.

    Little Fry

    Yup, Sam. How much light do you have, N1ck? I have it surviving at the top of a tank with a 15w fluro and in an AquaOne AR380 with the standard lamp in it (doesn't like the water movement, though)
  12. Like this? http://www.fnzas.org.nz/index.php?PG=plant&PID=RF1

    Look like annulatus to me...

    3 foot tank

    Hmmm... do you think I would suit a white streak in my hair - dahling? Mind you between my teenagers and you guys, I think I am going prematurely gray anyway... Jasper, Horace - I know where Sam lives...

    3 foot tank

    Yeah, I want to see Sam put collars and tags on each one! If you are not a member of an affiliated club, you cannot register them, Sam, and you have to be a registered member when they hatch!

    Zev's big Day

    Heh, heh, creative little guy, isn't he?
  17. One of the problems with Raw is that it fills your computer storage up really fast! Looks like you are having fun with the camera - keep it up!
  18. Don't let Sam see that you have put Hairgrass around the edge of the pond! Looking good, like the background sound effects!
  19. I suspect this is the date of the FNZAS Executive meeting in Turangi, so will not be able to attend, sounds like it would be a very good event to attend .
  20. You may have to ask Barrie nicely if he has any female Annulatus - mine are all boys.
