  1. Java fern is different from Java moss and neither are rare, they are both readily available and as Ira said Java moss is a pain for clogging filters.
  2. Amazing, my connection (to the site) froze so I went to my E- mail in desperation and hey presto I find my payment has been acknowledged and my connection(to the site) unfrozen.
  3. Sorry Caryl, however nobody has confirmed my payment for conference can you help please?
  4. I got a piece that exact size and a tube of silicone just last week for $30.
  5. It has been known for plecs to attach themselves to the discus and removing the protective slime, thus killing the discus.
  6. I know we are out of season but if you go to the BBQ factory they will freely give you the sheets of polystyrene they use for transporting their goods.
  7. I have had Westinghouse before ( excellent products )but I thought they were American not Australian.
  8. I always thought Simpson was F&P.
  9. Our dishdrawer is brilliant Wok. Yes Caryl shareholders do need a profit, but of late it would seem that a lot of companies have been telling porkies about their profits in order to boost share prices and I think it is now coming home to roost and as usual it is poor honest "Joe" who is paying the price. minchton 10 years ago I was paying 25c a ltr. for diesel 10 years later I am now paying as of tomorrow $1 50c that is an increase of 600% that is a huge increase for a courier driver to swallow without any increase in wages (even if the courier company has had several increases). Also my road users have increased substantially, insurance almost doubled,acc almost doubled, accountancy fees more than doubled. Then their are the home bills. ( we won't go there ). In short the standard of living has dropped dramatically over the last few years and in my opinion it is going to get worse before it gets better.
  10. They are all mad in Wellington. :lol: ( that is why they live there) Oh! By the way, welcome aboard Peter and I hope you get as much pleasure from this site as I do, I feel as if I have made lots of new friends here.
  11. WHAT a sad bunch of LOST souls you are. :lol:

    Approx $30 for impeller, IMO they are very good filters and if you can pick it up for less than $50-$60 it is a bargain.
  13. Try " quick calculator for aquariums "
  14. OR if money is tight try trademe you can pick up some very good bargains, usually all that goes wrong with cannister filters are the impellers and they can be replaced for $20 - $30.
  15. I think he is referring to guppies from Phil Collis.
  16. Who is bringing them if you do not mind my asking?

    Where to buy fish?

    The best shop I have found between Wellington and Whangarei is Wonderworld in Rotorua.
  18. Depends on what type of tank you want, for example planted/unplanted. African/American. Dwarf/large,there are so many to choose from so I think you need to have a think about it before you decide.
  19. Sorry Bill but why make a post " all references to drugs removed " Why not just remove the post and make no comment ?
