  1. excellent ideas the 3,000l aro tank i heated with 25m of thick walled alkathene in summer had to watch it didn't heat too much though winter would be a different proposition tank will be half inside with polystyrene on outside big acrylic windows inside other tank will be 9m concrete construction will look at solar heating systems ira and the aqua therm arapaima, stingrays and breeding reds would be nice
  2. you think right in my opinion
  3. want to heat a 30.000 litre tank thought of coiled alkathene laying in the sun fitted with a thermostat and pump any thoughts on this?
  4. you can house the jar and grow it on seperately for awhile in the 8 footer you may just end up only housing the jar though by the time it grows bigger your plans may change a few of the jars for sale will reappear next year fr sale when some come to regret that impolse buy mine came out of a 620T at less than retail ones now, was originally bought for 450 and passed through a few hands my favourite fish
  5. never had one from a real youngster to compare with a jar will give an aro a hard time even when only half the size
  6. jars aren't slow growing if they have the food and room
  7. it depends on size of the tanks, personality of fish and numbers to break up agression
  8. thats right go down to yatton park the water feature there has it council add an additive to it don't know if it supports life though someone in parks and reserves should be able to put you onto the right person for info on it
  9. look around for a hypodermic syringe or catheter that has wine residue in it

  13. i wouldn't feed to pencil fish

  15. The derogatory slang term Redneck was used to refer to poor white farmers in the Southern United States, the term probably originated from the fact that working in the sun all day burnt the back of their necks. Growing up in Rotorua i think nearly every house in our street had a set of antlers on the garage.
  16. that would be a part of the equation
  17. about 20+ ys ago :oops: i first built a sump as the bigger canister filters on the market had to be imported and were very expensive built a few in drums then first glass one one was an old 3 foot tank with plenty of baffles and full of pumice, from large to smaller as it ran through the filter had a low flow rate pump set up on it tank had onder gravel filter plates, lots of plants and 8 large discus tank ran perfecly no problems i hve been reading a few articles on different bacterias present in tanks and they optimum they work at i too want to build a sump incorporating both aerobic and anaerobic components been contemplating potting a deep gravel bed in to see how it functions
