  1. Although I love the smilies I find that I am unable to use some of them because I do not fully understand their meaning. Does anyone else feel this is so? :dunno:
  2. I would never take a 308 to my dear :lol:
  3. You can buy them on trademe for about $10
  4. Southland sand and gravel have white silica but not black silica sand. I believe their is a company in Dunedin called Blackhead Quarries who have it but I cannot confirm this. Tel: 03 4879031
  5. I bet you know who is waiting at the Pearly Gates with a triple scoop, enjoy Eddie.
  6. I have used matt black spray paint from auto cheap and concrete paint ( with a brush) from Guthrie Bowron without any probs.
  7. I prefer to use 2x150watt rather than 1x300watt

    Sand

    I have sand in all my tanks.
  9. Sand and a shallow tank will make it grow like a weed. Be carefull not to have too much light or you will have algae problems.
  10. I have been trying to get rid of duckweed for about 7 years, it even followed me to Invercargill. Ira kindly gave me some riccia but I couldn't keep it alive. :dunno:
  11. Both statements are true. Wonderworld in Rotorua in my opinion is the best shop in NZ. on Clayton Road I think. World of water in Hamilton ( TROPICAL BLUE ? ) is also held in high esteem.
  12. That puts the pointy stick in it's rightful place. :lol:
  13. You could try raising the temperature and adding a UV steriliser. Clown Loaches are not very tolerant to meds.
  14. As above but make sure you keep the media moist. Also bread soaked in milk is good food.
  15. I was disappointed with what they had for sale. But they did have nice show tanks.
  16. Like I said $5 for 20kg, freight charges are the problem &c:ry
  17. :facepalm: &c:ry :lol: :facepalm: &c:ry :lol: :facepalm: &c:ry :lol: :facepalm: &c:ry :lol: :facepalm: &c:ry :lol:
  18. Spoon you are paying too much I can get it for $5 for 20kg.
  19. I find the silica sand gets dirty very quickly and I have to turn it over at regular intervals, but it looks fabulous afterwards. I also notice the fish in that tank have paler colours.
  20. Taupo is an active volcano.
  21. Just inside a volcano.
  22. Relief driver in place Pheeew! that is a relief :happy1: :lol: Flight is booked, just need to organise the accomodation and muzzle :facepalm:
