  1. If you want to see the sort of thing you can achieve on a lower budget you are welcome to come have a look at my reef- i have spent just over 2k so far and have been doing it on the cheap. give me a pm if you wanna have a look
  2. pH crashes are caused by a low kH Caryl. What is in the tank RNBO? What fish, plants, driftwood rocks, substrate, what filtration are you using and are you using CO2- answer those questions and we may be able to help out!
  3. and if anyone has any excess plants/ fish etc we have a thing after for them too... Quite cool
  4. i have a 4ft and am looking at doing the same sort of thing but with an elephant nose instead of a birchir. that rules me out of syno's i think because i think they would be too hyper! I was thinking perhaps some large tetras would be cool, Makoshark i dunno if they would be eaten when the BGK got bigger- Congo tetras or something similar. What other catfish would work in a tank with the other fish anyone know?
  5. no i don't believe it is allowed here
  6. i'd assume so. mine eat fruitflies i squash and drop on the water surface occasionally
  7. i'll love to see this tank when the plants have filled out- looking good african
  8. cool! love the closed brain pics

    This or that

    nelson lakes. (spent time at both) oddballs tank with elephant fish, bgk, tyre track eel, butterflyfish etc, or big community tank with lots of tetra species- i'm still deciding what...

    New Fish???

    i would get a pair or trio of dwarf cichlids!
  11. i was just beind silly- i knew those CA fish would nver fit in that piddly lil 8fter. thats my dream freshwater tank though- a 20ft central american ciclid tank!
  12. get a photo- if it is an interesting species you might be able to catch it and courier it up to me- i like spider pets

    New Fish???

    well the aro would sure love his platty and neon buddies methinks
  14. here are some nice pics of central american fish_ I'm not sure which are available in NZ- except Cuban cichlid def in N.Z
  15. here is a central american tank albiet bigger than 8 ft!
  16. i would set it up as a central american cichlid tank! perfect size for those nice big central american fish u never had space for before
  17. or go to hollywood- they have massive pieces for $40 each from memory
  18. like i have always liked the look of them but need another tank to put one in!
  19. dunno- anubias maybe. i would have thought it would be best to find plants which the silver dollars didn't like eating based on chemicals (taste) etc. prhaps, the only possible plants are java moss ava fern and watersprite. plants are overrated though!
