    welcome from drought striken northland

    it is possible but not likely it would have drained the tank, it would need to syphon all 200ltrs through the air line into the pump diaphram & out so a tiny hole in it. i put my canisters into trays incase there is a leak in them, might be another saftey measure for you.

    i never used to use them either but when the filters start to clog & flow is reduced the oxygen drops to & as i stock heavily its important to keep the oxy up.

    i have non return valves on mine but i never turn the pumps off so its more incase a pump fails or power goes off.

    hmm, i am sure mine has 1. i cleaned it out the other day & i am sure it only has 1...... i may loose sleep over this

    i have 3 CF range canisters & they all have 1 blue & 1 black filter pad in each whether they have 2 or 3 trays. put the blue on a lower tray than the fine pad filter, the water gets syphoned down the "pipes" to the bottom then sucked up through the pads & media & out via the impeller. the water should go through the blue sponge first rater than clogging up the finer balck sponge with the big stuff.

    would need to scuba to clean the 30 footer
  9. smidey
    thats probably a compromise with the glass thickness, the higher the front panel the thicker it needs to be. the glass thickness is not based on the length so much as height. at least this 30 foot tank has africans in it 8) & no compromise with the height of it. http://www.cichlid-forum.com/phpBB/view ... highlight=

    & at the end of the day if she chooses to spend time & $ on expensive meds that is her choice.

    thanks, won't be going for the syno's, i want fry at this stage.
  16. smidey
    they don't get much meat, once or twice a week.
  17. smidey
    interesting. i was hoping there might be something i could ahve with my tropheus, i know overseas they keep gobies with their tropheus.
  18. smidey
    that's aesome a? nothing else like it i reckon. we had a similar experience two years ago at wellingtons bay on the tutukaka coast with 4 or 6 of them. my son & wife touched them as they gently cruised around the beach.
  19. smidey
    & this is the stuff that they are using to wash trucks? which then runs down a drain to where?
  20. smidey
    do you have any of these?
  21. smidey
    its a good thing as long as they don't get too badly damaged. it sorts out who has first dibs on the girls.
  22. smidey
    What tangs are available in NZ other than the tropheus & who has what?
  23. smidey
    offtopic but lowndsie, you are a ford fan & from bathurst? my uncle is in bathurst. he stays at the Cnr Browning Street and Brook Moore Avenue.
  24. smidey
    i haven't seen anything but stunning fish on the aussie forums & when for sale are quite cheap in comparison to here. sounds like you may have been in a badly kept shop.

    this shows how difficult it is merging technology with a massive variable, there are so many combinations of fish, filtration, enviroment, opinions & experiences it must take years to get the programming right.
