It is hard do give a positive ID from a pic as they can look so different but maybe a Pseudotropheus crabro in aggressive colouration or a hybrid

How often are you doing water changes in the tank?

I jammed mine in and siliconed a glass strip in front of base of wall to stop it kicking forward

No it won't need cementing, i take it you will be siliconing it into the tank?

Good luck, at least you can put the hole in a lower spot now

Do you have a Pic of it, the only other option may be to drill another hole lower down

Have you read this one? And this

Sorry no stockists that really deal in captive bred fish exclusively and only a few trigger species are only just being bred overseas. There are a couple of people that breed clownfish and Bangai Cardinals in NZ that advertise when they have some available.

Welcome

Very nice start

lights heater and filter could set you back another 200 for the Jebo790

This looks good in your area http://www.trademe.co.nz/pets-animals/fish/fish-tanks-aquariums/auction-1041525088.htm

Well done

LOL do not go up there, the hangar my tanks are in was 40C the other day, poor chillers were working hard out and condensation was dripping off the tanks.

I am after anything that shows our history so it can be included on the website or forums

Welcome aboard

Slide the Tank Fitting Bodythrough the hole in the tank. The Rubber Washermust be between the Fitting Body Flange and the tank wall (ensure the ribs on the Rubber Washerare sealing against the tank wall). On the inside of the tank wall, slide the Low Density Poly Washer back onto the Tank Fitting Body and then wind on the Back Nut. Tighten the Back Nut so that the face of both washers make full contact with the tank wall to obtain a water tight seal. Ensure that you comply with the tank manufacturers specifications When adding additional fittings it is recommended that either a thread sealing paste or thread sealing tape be used on all threaded connections.

Yes good choice i have changed over to all Jebao now, variable speed is handy and service from these people has been outstanding http://aquarays.co.nz/

i would personally run 2 32mm outflows which require a 40mm hole i think

A good read to give you an understanding of what happens while cycling your tank

Ring couriers as you should be able to organise it with them so long as goods are packaged and ready to go
