  1. just drilled 2 tanks today as has been said syphon is not fool proof so i have replaced mine with drilled overflows happy to help if needed
  2. it is relatively easy to drill an existing tank, just needs to be fairly empty and not toughened glass i have a glass drill here
  3. so long as it is plumbed properly not a problem are you using an overflow box or a syphon?
  4. no worries usually it is best to leave them alone and let nature take its course, not nice but the best this one was in the surf and being mobbed, a little underweight and exhausted about a week TLC and some food should see it right for release again they need 3 x daily swims to promote oiling again sadly we are lucky if we can save 30% of the ones brought in as they are usually past the point of no return when we get them
  5. we hold a licence to look after injured wildlife stella nymox is helping us out and learning in the process soo he can help with our future work
  6. a possibility alan, he doesn't have any water proofing
  7. in my experience judging by the color mystic that is one angry or stressed occie pale colouration is worried , camouflaged is you can't see me after awhile and settled down they may put on a light show for you, red with white rings moving up and down the tentacles an occie that is happy in its tank won't try climbing out, that is why it is best to get young individuals and grow them on when really small they spend a lot of time hiding, i find a lot in beer bottles in the habour they learn quickly and come for food i used to tap my fingernails on the front of the tank to let one know it was food time we were sitting in front of the tank having dinner a few months later and i could hear a tapping noise coming from the tank the occie was tapping 2 stones together to tell me to feed it
  8. basically sensitive to all water parameters young occies acclimatise to tank life quite easily, older ones can commit suicide they are very intelligent and older ones like their freedom they will eat most tankmates and can fight for territory when housed together i have had most success with young ones and growing them on
  9. 6 to 8 foot tank and i had one for 18months
  10. leps use their tails for fat storage, it can metabolise this fat and survive for awhile without food, a healthy leps tail is wider than its neck.
  11. some things are a slow crash waiting to happen
  12. nice unit sam , well done

  14. enjoying the last of a 6 pack of 2009 8% wooodys and nibbling on a peanut butter and jam sandwich sunning flits and turts a nipping, slurping and burping is me can i join the moron club my I.Q (idiot quota) is 0.61 and ascending or descending depending on which way up you hold the chart i am not saying anything nav will let the post speak for itself can give you my interpretation of it but why spoil the first bit of peace i have had for awhile
