Does anyone know the cost of converting a CO2 Fire Extinguisher to to a standard CO2 fitting and getting it certified? Thanks.

What is everyone doing on Christmas Day or is it just another stat holiday for you? Stat Holiday Who will you be with?Parents and sister, and any backpackers I can pick up, haha jj Where? Whitsundays Queensland Does youre family have any special Christmas traditions?Nope every year we are somewhere different doing something different. Although Dad has this big turkey deep fryer thing, cooks a mean bird. What did you ask Santa for? money for discus, or discus *cough* Ron *cough* :lol:

I don't know, you are meant to be a licensed course fishing member to fish them, which i am not, and i haven't been caught so it guess its monitored to hard out. It doesnt run into natural waterway, its all just man made dams. they are meant to be in there to stop the weed or something

hmm, says no fishing, doesn't say anything about shooting, good thinking 99. only problem is there illegal rules are that the fish must be returned to the dam.

Video added. Got two more clown loaches, didn't realise how big there were till I got them home :lol: So they are having fun knocking the plants out, and knocking the filter outlet so it was pointing out of the water in the middle of the night, gave me a bit of a fright :lol: still haven't got all the lights going, or the CO2. But I have eyed out some discus for the New Year :bounce:

chelsea(sp*) sugar works. not ment to fish in the dam that fish is in And the ones in the other dam are not that big...and I cant get the bigger ones to take a bait only the smaller fish, its doing my head in.

to small well not really, it would last around a month. would rather just get a 2kg bottle and not have to worry about it. i'm going to use the 220G on my small 60L tank, and only have it adding a small amount so it will last longer. but on my planted tank tank I want to add as much as I can....haha I say "planted tank" but my small tank is planted heavier than my big one :roll: You can rent a bottle (cant remember how large) for $12 a month, with I think a $33 refill/swap and go charge, from BOC

solar? just pump all the water through black hosing that is exposed to the sun :lol: can heat a swimming pool, why not a fish pond.

haven't used it yet, waiting for the plants to establish them selves. I got the 220G one cause it was cheap, and I can use it on my small tank. still looking for a 2kg bottle for my big tank. yeah I'll probably just a solenoid valve for my big tank, and maybe just run a airstone when the lights are off in my small tank, and just leave the co2 going the whole time.

I got a eheim kit off trademe, $175 regulator, 2 diffusers, airline and CO2 indicator test thingy lol TM has/had a bunch of diffusers.

why's that? yeah I won that guys auction on TM, said it was 2KG bottle so i bidded to $250, got there to find out the bottle it self weighed 2kg, and it didn't hold 2kg of gas, lol i was like ahhhh thats not how the sizing works. :lol: can you remove his number from my "quote" please, my inbox is full of threats and warnings from mods, i dont need another one.

:lol: txt this person (number removed) . they have a 220G JBL proflora bottle regulator airline and defuser.

fish city didn't have 1kg braid, so had to go with 2kg...thought about going to mono, cause I'm sure they can see the braid. the sugar works have fish around 90cm in there dams, just horses!!

I fish 2KG so should get that easy. There are some monsters where I live...but when I went last night I didnt have any flurocarbon, and the big ones could see the braid.

Got a couple last night. http://img153.imageshack.us/my.php?imag ... 613un0.jpg http://img153.imageshack.us/my.php?imag ... 614ul0.jpg http://img153.imageshack.us/my.php?imag ... 615vd2.jpg

I bought a JBL proflora bottle and regulator on trade me for $50. just keep an eye out.

When I take my photos, I make sure that the camera can't see the gap between the surface of the water and the light (easy for me I just fill the tank past where the hood starts). This stop the camera over exposing from the aquarium lights. I have the room pitch black. so there is no reflection on the glass. I DONT use the flash, but play around with the auto set white balance function on the camera normally appear as "day light, cloudy, auto etc etc and if you can control shutter speed, turn it up, this way if the fish moves it wont be blurry. And if your tank is bright enough turn down the ISO on the camera. Getting the fish in focus and not blurred is most important, all the colour can be fixed in photoshop :lol:
