yes as patient as you :facepalm: hows your rockfish

so named from the noise he was making in the steel drum of a nest box he is now 3 months and 3 weeks old his parents are 2 pet birds we have had together for 12 years glad to see they have finally gotten back to being cockatoos

good luck with the journey :thup:

i hope your tank is cycled before you start collecting stuff

happy birthday nymox :thup:

and a nice fish it is too

the thread was to let fnzas members know what the executive were doing

a picture paints a thousand words :smln:

it is a virus :sage:

you can mitigate some of the bad things that may happen by doing 2 x weekly water changes with fresh salt water cold water marine takes longer to cycle and then mature than tropical marine or fresh water systems

this vet and his team are building some good experience with reps http://ivabs.massey.ac.nz/staff_indiv.asp?id=304

stick an airhead under a powerstone

you should leave us worms alone senor

12, BUT REALLY 4 BUT I WILL GET 8 MORE TO MAKE IT RIGHT SO THAT WILL BE 24 IN TOTAL BUT PLEASE DON'T QUOTE ME ON THAT

i turn mine off when the temp drops outside they aren't in a warm house though

blood red anemones replicate when under stress you don't need fish to cycle your tank just patience

you may need to tint the divider to stop them damaging their snouts trying to get at each other or just put driftwood or plants to cut down line of sight

got some pics of your whole set up?

:rotf:

just do regular water changes

nitrate of even above 100 ppm have been shown to be nontoxic to many species

i am still breathing so life is good :sage: good to see you back here and into fish keeping again

not necessarily, it is just more aesthetically pleasing to some

i just do a rough estimate by eye of how much to change it is not critical just so long as it is regularly done in first few months of a new tank once tank is more mature i rely on the fish to tell me when to do a water change you can be more exact by calculating what is required to be changed but fishkeeping doesn't need to be an exact science unless that is what floats your boat
