& if your guna get one off joshua on trademe get the stand as well. they are really good for the $ you pay & make it a complete unit. the stands have holes for canister piping when you get them & the hood has rebates at either end for piping etc to.

filter has not faulted at all, i do run a canister as well in my tank. I did have one of the lighting tubes flickering recently but my sparkie mate sorted that & said that it was a common fault with fluros. I haven't had a tube fail yet either. The hood, being aluminium is my cats new sleeping place now that the weather is getting cooler & there is no way it would ever sag or anything like that.

I'm not sure if this is where I should put this...

it ultimately depends on the covering of MDF or customwood. Whether it is melamine with calshed edges or a painted stand (most painted stands are MDF) they are as good as the finish. The kitchen cabinetry & most benchtops houses are made from MDF with a finish over it whether it be melamine, painted or formica. -
i like it more the longer i have it, a friends aqua one is starting to show the down sides of the plastic hood & mine is as good as it was when i got it over 2 years ago

the problem was one of the main grandstands (8 storey scaffold stand) had corperate boxes (tents) at the bottom which blocked the view for the grandstand behind/above. They could only see the rooves of the cars as the went passed because turn one was a rh bend so the cars lined up for the corner hard left if you know what i mean. The western stand had no problems at all.

that sounds like a much better option! :lol: Not sure if richard went.
-
it was my cat that got me onto that :lol: he was sleeping next to the tank & moved the curtain one day & all the algae grew. I noticed that they were feeding off it so i left them to it. Now when the algae reduces i just pull the curtain back for the day to create more.

Who went to the hamilton 400? I did for the three days & it was a blast! First day was corperate box & thats was an experience, more booze than you can drink etc. Second day i was in a stand on Founders corner, that was the best spot of the weekend for wtaching the racing & third day general admition which was pretty average.

i put my african fry tank next to the window with a curtain so i can control how much light hits the tank. i leave algae to grow & the fish feed off it. i have about 30 fry in there & i have never seen such well fed fish. I feed them flake etc every few days but they mostly feed on the algae.
-
I have met you george, don't believe a word of this :lol: any timber type cabinet bigger than the tank will hold that, in fact i have a surplus to requirements microwave cabinet that could be used as a stand. I have matriaclima estherae (red zeb) & labido caruleus (electric yellows), about 8 yellows & rest zebs. As for the meeting, i wont be coming as i just got back from 4 days at the v8s & need to get to know my family again

small africans? how bout my 15-20mm fry. I have about 40 to get rid of. By the time they grow big enough for the next tank size up you might have enough pocket $ for a bigger tank.
-
nice progress. how do you access the lower tank to get larger items like rockwork etc in or out?

this is the best in my eyes http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/s ... hp?id=1507

i feed my africans frozen bloodworms & have done so for as long as i have had them, bloat has never been a problem for me.

must have forgotten the link http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/c ... .php?cat=9 my point was that there are 6 & 7 stripe frontosa
-
i have one of these & a cf1200 & have found them to be very good. i got mine from www.petplanet.co.nz .they are very well priced from there & delivery out of the area is no problem.
-
here's a link to a profile of the "7 stripe frontosa"
-
nah, they were $1200 a few months back due to the 400D release but don't think they are avialable now.

I have a sony ds2 which is pretty good. has got nothing on a Canon 350D slr though which takes a bit more learning to use.
-
my tank back is dirty, give my africans something to do. a few of them often eat the algae
-

what sort of sound is the rattle? my cf1200 rattled when my bio balls were in the wrong basket, does that filter have bio balls?
