  1. good idea, it could be funded by those who will most gain financially from the import of new species perhaps a small surchage on each fish could recover any outlay for them i am sure hobbyists wouldn't mind that to get new species in their tanks not a lot of money for the importers to all chip in but it may be hard to get them together to form a committee
  2. i think the designer had too much of the smoke machine
  3. thanks, was lookin for your thread viewtopic.php?t=39179
  4. glued poly together with no more nails place i usually buy cemix at has changed hands so trialling this stuff fine mesh coat mixed with water and 15% resin to a slurry and painted on poly with a paint brush
  5. we have to start somewhere and some of the newbies will be the experts of the future
  6. Jennifer not one of those replies :roll: more of a start the ball rolling one:wink: most people don't know where to start we need to get involved with the local club and enthuse the society from within
  7. got the foam from a specialist building supplies glued with no more nails, sanded and painted with acrylic house paint over the cemix cemix product was for coating poly, not quick patch from memory cut to be a tight fit in tank, could be siliconed heat gun may have made poly too smooth for cemix to stick?
  8. you provided a link to the application form david have you done an exercise on filling it out for a species you think would fit the bill for rapid assessment these need lots of research and references to back it up, then someone with qualifications after their name stuck on it
  9. oxide won't stop cement from curing there is a product called cemix that is mixed with resin to coat the outside of poly this sets like concrete, get mine from a place here called the plaster centre used on the outside of buildings

  11. it is surprising how many don't read the guidelines the ones for private trade and exchange especially, even though they are at the top of the page when you post a new topic: Forum rules All new topics in this forum must use the following in the subject line in the order stated: WTB, FS, Swap, or Free. A detailed description of the item, eg Snakeskin guppy male, not just Guppy, or Fish or Plants. Your location, and if you are selling and are willing to ship, please put 'will ship' eg: FS - Gold Male Snakeskin Guppy - Wellington, will ship
  12. You may not post any links or references to TradeMe, other online auction, or classified advertisement site to discuss an item for auction/sale, this applies to expired listings and linked pictures unless you are genuinely interested in buying a particular aquatic related item and want to learn more about its use and if it will suit your purpose.
  13. how many posters belong to the fnzas? davidr doesn't but is asking what the fnzas is doing about it
  14. colour me suspicious, maybe just a way to sneak a trade me link in
