I work for Norcross Print, as a second year printing apprentice. I run a large printing press like this:

Trade you my sister?

A-town drops fish.....

Too true Ira. I didn't factor in the variables. One measurement of speed was done via GPS and referenced to data logging on lappy, on track with different wheel and tire combo. The other is in street trim, on the motorway, measured on dash (maybe my speedo is out ). I will have to give it a go next time i got to the track and test it with just 91 and use the GPS to measure speed.

I usually run 91 in my 1990 SiR CRX, (1600cc DOHC vtec engine) but when I do fill up on 98 the difference is almost instant. Idles quieter, is a lot more throttle response and just feels smoother to drive. I find it is also more economical. (a difference of about 500rpm at 100kmph) I have been told that I nana drive my car around a lot due to using the gears and driving it below 3500rpm. Even driving like this I can achieve 100kph at 3500rpm. (also I dont see the point in wringing out each gear before changing like some idiots out there who see how fast they can get to 70kph in a 50kmph area) Driving like this, $20 dollars petrol can last me about 2 weeks if needed. On the other hand, I have been known to drive it hard on quiet country roads and twisty backroads, using the full rev range and vtec, where $20 dollars gas doesn't last very long. I am only young (22) and consider myself a 'car enthusiest' not a 'boy-racer' (as commonly labelled) but I can say that there is a lot of people out there that really need to learn the characteristics of their vehicles. There are so many unexperienced driving getting behind the wheels of not just high powered vehicles, but just a different vehicle to the one that they would usually drive, and having/causing accidents from pure inexperience of what to do in certain situations and not knowing their vehicles as well as they should/could. I guess I am lucky that I have had the opportunity to put my little car through its paces and test its limitation and find its faults in a safe enviroment. (a race track) And when I sit in my car and drive, it's like the car is part of me. I can feel and notice everything going on in the car and any little changes etc. But maybe I'm a little too obsessed. But I do think it's a little too easy to get a drivers licence these days. Maybe we should have driver's ed classes like the americans? Or compulsory defensive driving courses. Anywho, enough of my little rant. My opinion is, the higher the octane the cleaner and faster it burns, therefore better for late model vehicles. It helps keep the engine clean and free of build-ups.

Re: destruction to the enviroment. I think that seeing as it's a yearly thing that the forum members partake in, the destruction of the enviroment would be fairly minor. 20 odd fish hunters for one day a year. It's not like 20 odd people go trampling through there daily.

I have had a recent problem with tankloads of fish dying because of what looks to be poisoning from something in the tap water. So have had to change for rainwater for the time being. I don't trust the tap water at the moment.

haha, I got the same message, same name too

can they prove that they are tank bred though? Also even if they were, they can easily aclimitise back into the wild and possibly take disease with them, couldn't they?

Mean! Gunna have to have a squizz next time I am over.

mybe he just isn't interested in the females you have?

Welcome. What sort of killies are you keeping?

yah I got mine too.

maybe I should buy one for my pet Daphnia

Why not get some to help replenish your stocks? I have 2 large drums of them at home, but when I go to the farm to get live food, I always come back with a 600ml Coke bottle full of them.

I feed my fish mozzie larvae caught from stinky green farm water, and they seem ok. ( I do give them a wash under fresh water before feeding out) Mind you another spot I collect from is a friends rainwater catch tanks, so pretty fresh clean water.

msg coated prawns

18x10x10, 29L Breeding tanks

My tanks have windows on 2 sides of them, therefore get sun around 8+ hrs a day. I had a big clump of xmas moss in there too. Some tanks get a build up of slime etc but I was lucky with this one. I add about 1L of fresh water each week.

isn't there warnings on the packets of freeze dried bloodworms to avoid contact with skin or something? Personally haven't used them in ages because my fish weren't interested in them.

thought so, I was going to try some bbs on mine when they get big enough to eat them.

Are they growing slowly for you?

start another small container. Collect every day for a week, than start on a new container. Or, Leave mop in tank for a week, then put mop into another tank and wait. Eggs may get eaten if left in with parents.

Geeze Wok, killies that dont jump, and snails that dont eat eggs... What kinda circus are you running over there? :lol:

Super green water seems to be the secret. I hardly see the adults anymore
