And you would be located where? Burn?

:nfs: +1

:sick: good thing we are not holding our breath for photos :yaw2:

I have a good recipe somewhere...i can post it if you want

South white chocolate or dark

if you angle heaters they heat across a bigger surface area so are more efficent stops thermal layers to some extents and because of both of these switch on and off less so theorectically last longer. still waiting for video of the shimmy

yes not too too bad food is food and variety is spice of life

very nice thanks for the share

a couple of types were brought in years ago. remember seeing them round and about a few years ago down this way dont know where they are now

Wicked wonder now that it is a "native" If we can keep them :sml1:

turn over isnt the be all and end all. It works well for mechanical filtartion but not chemical biological filtration. In a planted tank with sump you would only be looking perhaps for lower turn over anyway. In that case the sump then comes with benifits of volume, extra media, no accessories like heaters and the like in the tank even your CO2 can go inline or in sump But for a tank that size why filter at all go filterless and let your thermaclines move your water. then you can just do water changes and add chemicals and light as you need money you save can be used for nice plants and fishes

canister = expensive all in one comes with pluming need a few sump= can be done cheap, hides a lot of stuff, can over engineer, can flood I like sumps as increases "volume" can hide all teh misc. stuff and you can "mix and match" your outcomes a lot more. rememeber that mechanical filtration requires high volumes of turnover biological and SOME chemical filtration requires low volume turnover CO2 can be put inline in either and have seen some nice reactors of late that woudl work either/or Convert your 3 foot into a sump run canister on sump and have low volume sump to tank turnover in effect giving you an 8 ft tank which gives you more chemical stability.a light the sump and plant the bejessus out of it and use it as a refuge for or add a denytrifing coil and dont. Lots of options

so the perv in me ( seeing how that is how this thread was taken over) says ...oh i dont know would quite like to see the shimmy? :roll: :dunno: the fisho says Moya...get it right up front. get it as level as you can and do it once if you can. the fisho also says we have heard a lot about what you should keep...but what were you thinking about when you wanted to set it up Moya? I mean you have mentioned discus and rainbows but still leaves a lot of room....not sure I would put rainbows with flat fish tho?

30-35 cm Royal male plec 20 years old? In my 6 ft tank can see photos from 2 years ago on Blenhiems aS trip to Chch post

Next time get him/her to sit still when you put your tattoo on so that it is straight might be due to ambiant humidity? causing skin to dry therefore look raised or is it like this all the time? Some animals that lack pigiment also have different skin textures so it could be pigment related? Nav

I put mine in dry some do both just drill a small hole at the "closed end" to allow a small amount of water movement

I brought some lengths of bamboo from the warehouse it it works well for cave spawning fish about $5 a length I think and I got 6-8 caves out of each length I just drilled a small hole at the "closed end" to allow it to sink faster and so a small amount of water can flow thru has an internnal dia of 30-50 mm depending on piece selected

where is the waiting list I need to put my name on it very nice Thank you for the share

I Really disagree with some of these comments You get out what you put in research the breed or mix of breeds first jacks are made to stand and bark and fight if they have to Foxies go to ground along with dachs and some of the other breeds you have described no bad breeds just bad owners any dog will be like an extra child. you need to feed and toilet it meet its needs excersie it and give it boundries Just like and extra child you can view some of my experience here http://www.boxtonandtennille.com happy to help if you want to give me a PM

welcome
