i have some good scars on my hands, at least glass cuts heal well

score the broken pane with glass cutter then tap directly on opposite side on the score mark till it cracks then bend broken peices and score glue with craft knife blade works easiest for me don't forget the H&S when handling glass

you can carve the punakaiki rock look into any limestone type rock, though natural if you can find it is best soaking the stone before carving is easier and not as dusty

i have had it for about 11 years, it came from the local rock shop, i got the left overs of a palette someone had bought for a house front entrance not quite the same but there are a few coastal limestone formations around nz that are interesting looking

depending on the minerals present when it was formed it can be shades of white, pink, grey or brown mine is a cream colour, it came off the west coast of the south island somewhere

took about 20 mins in the stream, just ran the net through the weeds i am using aqua one 1200 for flow it puts out a fair bit of current in a narrow tank

oooh a job as a snail wrangker

thank you purple catfish, you are correct sorry it was meant as a joke which i should have quantified :oops:

adodge is probably right, the only difference is flow in the tank

are we just doing glass tanks?

sometimes too tight a fitting can cause a small leak on o rings, i run all aqua ones and have no problems o rings must be free from any dust etc or no small tears or nicks on them are all pipes 100% secure, air in system usually comes on the inflow side

looks good, can't be any worse than a bumblebee now find him a girl

vaseline can be an "o" rings friend

stop it i am still laughing over the first one

very succinct

yes you can but they are not as interactive and your food bill goes down

hi phrog welcome to the phorums may your stay be a pleasant one

natural selection is a wondrous beastie

what size shells can give you a rough guess, but is in no way accurate as it depends on feeding, tank size, environment and physiology of the individual turtle

please do a log of you catching some fish out of that tank when the time comes i have never been able to get the rocks back in the original configuration

and where will that be?

tell him to come back when he has grown a ring he looks like a half finished parrot
