maybe this may bean option for fundraiser if they could find a builder to organise it. here's a link to the website http://projecth.org/

it was an email circulating yestaerday, i seem to be the hub of all email smut & humor in the construction industry from bombay north.

thanks, things like this are usually trial & error.

when i had angels they constantly layed there. if you want them to lay elsewhere put mesh or netting around the filter, i used rubber bands to hold it there & hang something smooth & solid for them to lay on so you can remove it.

didn't see anything different to my others, im thinking it may have some air somewhere or need a scrub in parts that i didn't.

pretty crumby up here in the winterless north at the mo, thunder & lightening etc.

thanks, anyone got a quiet one?

Iraqi rugby player The Auckland Blues manager sends scouts out round the world looking for a new player to hopefully win them the Super 14 again. One scout Informs him of a talented young Iraqi winger. The coach flies to Iraq to watch him,is suitably impressed and arranges for him to come over to play for the Blues. Two weeks later, The Blues are 30-0 down at home to the Crusaders with only 20 minutes left. The coach gives the young Iraqi winger the nod to go on. The lad is a sensation, scores 6 tries in 20 minutes and wins the Game for the Blues. The fans are delighted, the players and coaches are ecstatic, and the media love the new star. When he comes off the field he phones his Mum to tell her about his first day playing rugby for the Blues. "Hi Mum, guess what?" he says. "I Played for 20 minutes today, we were 30-0 down, but I scored 6 tries and we won. Everybody loves me, the fans, the players and the media, they all love me". "Great," says his Mum, "now let me tell you about my day". "Your father got shot in the street, your sister and I were attacked and beaten, and your brother has joined a gang of looters, all while you were having a great time. The young lad is very upset. What can I say Mum, I'm so sorry. (You'll love this bit) "Sorry?!" says his Mum "Its your fault that we moved to Manurewa in the first place!"

its idenitcal in every way. i swaped the taps from an aqua one to this & all other parts seem identical.

(runs to the other room to have a look)..... yip, thats it!

I have aquired another setup & a canister filter, Aqua Via Pro 650 came with it. it says on the label 1000lph. It is identical to my aqua one cf1000. Now, it hums like no filter i have heard before, man it sings a good tune. i have the forementioned cf1000 & a cf1200 & they are silent. Has anyone got one of these that is silent or close to it? If so i will fiddle around with it until it learns to be quiet or am i starting a losing battle? Are these a cheaper version aqua one rebranded....?

& most are damn hard to remember :oops:

a little off the exact topic but hospice is a great cause to raise funds for. two months ago i donated a kitchen to "Project H" in kerikeri for kerikeri Hospice when they built & sold a transportable house in 4 days. It was a massive risk but paid off, the house sold at auction at the end of day 4 for $215K. all materials & labour were donated so all of the $ went to the hospice as a donation, amazing!

thats the problem with common names, they are up to interpretation of what people think they are. its endless with africans, electric blue could be a few different fish to inexperienced people.

when i upgraded to a larger tank i moved 70 litres or so & the internal filter into the new tank. filled it up, waited until the following day & added fish. I left the internal filter running with the new canister for two days & that worked well, no losses at all.

the main problem is with peacocks then? I can understand how they could mix, thats like england, ireland & wales mixing. they look very similar but slightly different tounges

oh yeah, i have seen all sorts of crazy looking things for sale. the worst was at animates, cross red zebs with e yellows & they wanted $70 a piece. I wouldn't have kept them if they were free (no offence A.Prochecy). Im certainly under no allusion that it can't happen, just curious how often it does

hey Ryan, I have noticed that you post alot about crossbreeding & how to avoid it. How many batches of cross breed fish have you had? The reason i ask is i have had about 20 to 25 spawns in my "african community tank" & have seen about 80% of them with my own eyes & never has another male tried to actually fertilise the eggs.

no great loss, sinking sticks get crushed in the mouth & as they are so dry they fog the water with "crumbs" out of my fishs gill plates & create nitrates etc & ruin the water, have you had any problems with algae? sera have a great range of african food, im currently using granumeat & granugreen in conjuction with sushi wrap, blood worms once a week & mosquito larvae.

i have a tank that size which i have got stocked as in my sig below. I tried venustus (giraffe), melan auratus & found them far to agressive for the fish i have.

i have heard that a few times. my gp's were married in 1948, Nana was 17 & gdad was 21 at the time. They are doing so well, they get up every morning & walk the dog 5Ks then nana does her gardening & gdad does farm work. that is what they do when they are not playing bowls.

the card from her said the least & in a gruff tone!

i'm picking the oldest fish will be a clown loach at 30cm & 22 years old??!!

I went to my grand parents 60th wedding aniversary this weekend & they got cards from Queen Elizabeth, Helen Clark, the governor general & Phil Heatley (our local National party rep). I was very surprised that this happened but when you think about being married for 60 years they deserve more than that!
