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. We recommend Loctite 5331

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

Very nice looking strain

Very nice, have you recorded dates for this?

Is the water running down from somewhere else or coming from under the tank ? is it an all in one tank with plastic surround or a standard tank and fittings

Welcome back Do you want your old account back?

The FNZAS would like to pass on their condolences to the family and friends of Craig Hewson who devoted a lot of his time over many years to the Federation both in a local club and executive capacity and the fish keeping hobby in this country, he will be remembered by many of us for starting them on the road to fish keeping.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pGD3Wukb9A Thought i had lost this little fella a few times now as he is in a large system, have had him 3 months and hasn't grown much. Octopus huttoni, Octopus (Smaller)OCTOPUS HUTTONI INVERTEBRATEThe smaller octopus - octopus huttoni are usually seen about the size of your fist, and tend to be more frequently sighted on night dives as they emerge to feed. They tend to be more fearful compared to other octopus, perhaps realising their size makes them an easy meal for predators. These small octopus make homes out of almost anything, old cans, and bottles that have been discarded, usually found in scallop beds or shells on the ocean floor will often hold octopus.Up to 57cm in total length.Seem to be more aggressive than larger species and can bite.

I have used the water based urethane on all my enclosures, about 3 coats

Dragonfly or mayfly larvae? http://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-animals/invertebrates/freshwater/

A good idea as it can stop mice or rats digging in, you can place grass sods on top of part of the sand mix too

This is a pretty good food to add to the diet http://www.repashy.co.nz/collections/reptile-insect-and-invertebrate-products/products/grassland-grazer

Temperature inside enclosure should be around 25c and basking spot about 30c, I have used sand and soil dug from the garden mixxed together at about 50mm thick then gave it a light misting with a spray bottle daily. Those glazed terracota plant saucers make a good water dish for them that is hard to tip over, what is the enclosure like?

i have logged on as you on a pc and it is there

How old are fry now? What are you feeding as food to the tank and is there driftwood in there or blanched cucumber etc for fry to feed on?

if they are small enough they grow in that environment and don't try to escape, never had a lid on an octopus tank yet

Had this guy for 3 months now he was brought to me from some fisherman who found him in an empty barnacle shell they pulled up from 30 metres just off the coast here. He hasn't grown much so i hope he is an Octopus huttoni as they only grow to approximately 24cm, in the plastic mesh cage ar oysters and the squares in it are 25mm, he has been a bugger to get a pic of as he has been travelling from the tank through the bell siphon and into the sump which is a rockpool. Lost him for three weeks and thought he had been eaten but found him in the rockpool so put him back in the tank.

small arm or wide mouthed rabbit?

yes the only one i received was the news letter one too, and I sent the first round out
