in a previous job i worked for a granite & marble company. alot of our product was imported from china. we would order tiles, kitchen & vanity benchtops & even all the parts for the britomart railway station & paedestrian crossing parts for the refurbishment of the streets around the railway station in Auckland. Once you find a good supplier of what ever you are after you were set. I found that the quality was effected by the value you wanted to pay. ie: If you wanted a teaspoon it would cost $1. If you wanted a teaspoon for 5c you could, you would just get 5c worth of quality. I have a sunsun tank, i have had it for around two years & cannot fault it at all. It is better IMO tha the aquaone AR980 that it is similar to & I would recommend them. Just make sure you are happy with the one you buy beforeyou hand over the $ as there are less quality tems out there.

????? 200L, it has not died yet. I have had the fish for two years.

Hi all, i have a Clown Loach with internal parasites. What is best to use to get rid of them? He is very skinny & needs some urgent attention.

i think it is the spirulina that causes it so it may get worse & not get any better if you continue to feed that.

what i did was, get an 10L bucket. fill it with tank water & add 4 table spoons of epsom salts. add big bellied angels for 15 minutes. then remove & return to tank also, does the big bellied fish seem to have pop eye?

i think it depends on how much support the frame has for the ply. if it has cross supports very close to each other then only a thin ply is required due to the steel providing support. If there is large gaps between supports then the ply becomes the support & a thick enough ply to support the weight is required. i not sure how to calculate the weight between the supports but it would be alot i would think.

here is a link to cichlid-forum tv showing a few tips for feeding your fry. maybe usefull for some. http://www.cichlid-forum.com/videos/feeding_fry.php

more & more northlanders here, good to see!

it didn't harm the fish so give it a go, it may help.

my sunsun is good quality, better than aqua one IMO & its power plug is nz type.

no idea but when i had angels they did that to. i even put the bloated one in a bucket of epsom salted water thinking it was constipated. it stayed bloated for a while then it went down, still a mystery really.

where have you been lately vegemite? havn't seen you on here for ages

i have the same as the first link posted, Sunsun. I also have a Cf1200 & cannot fault either of these units in 2 years. I have always preferred the sunsun over aqua one as the hoods parts are aluminium, not plastic. i can highly reccomend the sunsun & would soecifically look for them again if i buy another setup.

i dont, no matter how much i throw in no food hits the deck. my clowns are at the top fighting for it.

the africans also eat the algae, mine often munch away at it.

i have clown loaches to collect any excess food. the africans spit enough of the aragonite around to keep the bottom clean & i use a magnet cleaner when i need to clean the glass.

what forum was it?

superstar!

it has not been yet!

isn't it a toyota previa? or honda odessey?

my sis who lives there syas there are heaps of rental co's, just google it.

wow, that is passion & dedication!

when i was a newbie to fish keeping i got all the books out from the library i could find. they were all just the authour's opinions & every book contradicted the others partly or totally. in my frustration i googled for some info & up came a link to this site. best day of my fish keeping experience. opinions change, hardware improves & things change overall. the books were all at least 5 years old & almost everything had changed. current experiences are the best information & on this & other sites we can all share the new info.

we all have to start somewhere, the best way to learn the differences are to scan through lots of pics. also they may find an exact match with watever they may have
