  1. I will put it on my list of jobs to do, Christine might even let me put it to the top. Then again pigs might fly!
  2. I am going even if I have to sleep on the beach.
  3. Lights were left on to try and keep heat in the garage when we had that really,really cold couple of weeks and I was concerned that the tank heaters might not cope. Phoszorb might be worth looking into, thanks guys.
  4. I have 4 1200's and they work fine and imo they're good value for money.I also have Eheim's and Fluval's for comparison.
  5. Mostly my Ambulia but also crypts and swords.My own fault really as I left my lights on 24/7 for a few weeks during the cold snap earlier in the year.
  6. Does anyone know how to remove algae from plant leaves please?
  7. Bogwood lowers the ph. I have a 900L tank which I do 50% weekly water change and got caught out when I got a reading of 3.2PH I was gobsmacked. Even the fish did not tell me. :evil:
  8. I will give you faff next time we meet :lol: Around your earhole :lol: Nice fish by the way. I hope you still want the males I am sending down on the 15th.
  9. I have 10 in a 3m tank and my plants are untouched.
  10. 7.2 would be fairly close. Which ones did you buy? No 3 was the one I wanted but it was not in the auction.

    oscars

    I have a pair of oscars and they are not messy at all. However I only keep a shallow covering of gravel.
  12. Gold nuggets are beautiful fish and they are not as shy as some other types. Mine like to sit on the rocks and bogwood and when it comes to feeding they sometimes beat the discus to the food.
  13. Holding your breath for 5 mins will cure your hiccups( just joking ),but not advisable.
  14. Hi Stella, we are having an exec meeting on the 15 Nov if you can persuade someone heading back through Palmy I will gather lots of pumice for you and pass it on to the lucky person. :lol: Also remember if you boil pumice it will sink. (someone on the forum told me that)

    A good week.

    You sound like a very busy busy person. :lol:
  16. It is most probably air. If you pump plunger slowly it should come right, if not then prepare your lips and lungs for a mouth full of fishy water YUCK! If it is rattling then the impeller is unseated and needs to be removed and reseated.
  17. The standard of the fish were really good and a big thankyou to Kapi Mana for putting on a great show. Well done guys.
  18. Koi carp are classed as edible fish throughout the world. They also command $1000's in some countries, alas they are worthless here.
  19. Your lucky Taupo water has a KH of 0-2
