Dragon28

Nowadays I have moved away from using a laptop to using a descent desktop computer. Cheaper to buy, easier to service and upgrade etc. What I did tho, for when I need to be mobile is I brought an Asis EEE Pc, which is a ultra portable, and I just tranfer whatever docs I need between the two machines. For my personal situation I find it almost perfect

I have two Eheim auto feeders, now they must be about 5 years old (give or take), and they are great. I have to agree witht he comments about feeding time being the time to check tanks etc, and strangely enough the ones I use are on the tanks in our main living area. The auto feeders are so much easier than trying to get the cats off the top of the tank

You could try a kite as Caryl suggested .. something like http://www.skytoys.co.nz/proddetail.asp?prod=PLCROW Given you are in Wellington you could also try Dragon Flight in Carterton, as they would be closer and I know they also stock some of that manufacturers products.

Age: 37 Colour: Green Interests: Kites, Motorcycles, Hunting/Target Shooting, Dragon's Fishkeeping: 20 odd years - with a couple of gaps in there somewhere

My mum had goldfish when I was a kid, and when she got ill, I was given the task of looking after the little blighters. Once she finally passed on to a better place, I looked after the fish for a couple of years till they all had moved on to that same better place. Wasn't really too interested in keeping it going, until some one introduced me to tropicals, and I have never really looked back since. I also enjoy the fact that I can just keep the fish, and just enjoy the solitude, I have other sports/hobbies, where there is never-ending meetings/training nites etc, these can be hard with the time constraints of work, family etc . The best part of that is most fish-keepers that I have met up with understand that, and there is no pressure you just get to enjoy the hobby (with exception fo those required water changes)..

Tough questions... The all time fav song would be Endless Road by the Time Bandits (yep, I am an oldie). Fav movie .. in the last twelve months would be "300", totally visually stunning

Hiya Vtec8u, Welcome to the site, it is good to have another person from the Wairarapa

My copy arrived today as well. Just as good as the last copy ... Many thanks to Henry for organising this for us, and for the prompt delivery (and the extremely good packaging)

You can count me in as well! (not sure if you already have me on the list)

It i s worth looking at Weldwell for CO2 cylinders, that is where I got mine from, and at the time it was not that expensive (unfortunately it was so long ago now, I can't remember what I paid for it) Getting the cylinder refilled is no major hassle, I get mine refilled at Wards Cylinder Services in Lower Hutt
