good deal i have been waiting a few months for this wknd. and finaly set up my 4 footer for some clown loaches, and it burst lol was there many more clown loaches there?

Cheers Alan, ill give that a go

I've read all the old posts on it but i wanna c what people are using now. So share ahead

Welcome Hope to see you starting up a progress thread on your amazon tank Im going to start a 6Foot one too soon. PS. Which football team do you support

I wasnt very specific.. Its a 4 foot tank, both other dimensions are 1.5feet. and the split is on the back wall and goes from top to bottom and is just off centre. Ta

Can i repatch a split along the back wall of a tank without replacing the whole pane of glass? i dont mind if it looks dodgy, i just dont wanna chuck it out. and use it for a grow out tank or for turtles or something? thanks

i spent 2 days ringing around courier places and no1 would take fish. i even said that its at my risk and i dont expect it 2 b insured. but still. no. so i disguised them as lavalamps and went to post haste. the fish made it. and it was cheap too

I cant think of much more to do, it looks great Exactly how mine was going to be :evil: before it burst : Sandy bottom with two big pieces of driftwood to the left and right But i like your sand sooo much better. Keep it up

very cool :D What sort of sand is that Those are sweet pieces of driftwood too. looks like my tank i was setting up till it burst all over my floor at 2:28am on monday

Wow that is soo cool!!!

Thanks to john from organism for helping me out with getting all the stuff i needed to send slinky, it was a sucess Although i had to disguise the package as no courier companies would send live fish :-? So the " Lava-lamps " made it successfully to welly

hey nice to meet you all that were there while i was, sorry we didnt return, had a lot more work to do than we thought havnt even finished yet.

Hey people, dixon and i will be coming at 5pm to bring fish for caryl and loopy but cannot stay long as we have renovations to do and sort out all our tanks lol but will be good 2 meet you all PS wilson, ill take a few kribs if your offereing

where can i get the heat pads?

Thanks caryl for the offer :) But im gonna send him away before you bring the blak shark Thanks toh

I have read http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/shipping-fish-by-mail-vt9188.html all about how to do it but i still dont think i'm gonna do a very good job as its my first time. Could anyone else give me a quick run-down on the best way to do it? The fish is about 13cm. And what places in Chch are willing to send my fish? Thanks

I just wanted ta use bricks to hold down my driftwood and it would look kool wen my bristlenoses and pictus use it

What sort of bricks can be used in aquariums without them causing a reaction or slowly dissintegrating away? Thanks

oops. but by light i mean light from the hallway. is this still bad?

My chinese Algae eater isnt territorial. He just sits under a piece of driftwood 24/7 and doesnt move. I'm pretty sure its alive :roll: It used to get a bit fiesty at night so he is in a tank with lights on 24/7 as punishment.

Also in regards to keeping the tank cold, would running a sump under your house keep the tank cool enough? Of course this would only work if you could get under your house. I just know its freezing down there becuase i have an escape hatch in my wardrobe

Hey shadowfax, i looked into starting a Native saltwater rockpool tank. (People Correct me where i make errors) You basically need to keep it as cool as you can. A chiller would be the best (and most expensive) choice. You may get away with having it inside in the winter in a cool room, or you could keep it outside or garage. Some people also have Big bottles of frozen water that they replace each day. Sometimes when my tropical tanks get too hot i put a fan facing into the water which changes the temp quite a bit. And when your water evaporates, make sure you only replace it with freshwater or else, like coelacanth said, ull end up with the dead sea. You should try keep a big barrel full of saltwater outside with a pump running through it to save you travelling to the beach each time you want to do a water change. But you will probably want to do water changes quite often. and im pretty sure that the Natural Saltwater and sand taken straight from the beach will have little critters or micro-organisms (whatever you wanna call them - dont know proper term) for your fish or what ever you are keeping, to live on. This link here might give you some help too http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/keeping-nz-fish-vt20000.html All IMO so feel free to tell me where im wrong

Cool

the boss said so. lol. hes up in private exchange now. "Too much money being spent on a tank that has 1 fish in it" Apparently

thanks for your help everyone but im being made to sell this fish now
