  1. sorry mel, it was my son :oops: hes at uni and still can't spell he knew i was going to paint it black so got in first
  2. in amongst the freshwater shrimp i caught yesterday were 4 that looked like this wonder if they are just adults? or females as they are rare to find
  3. Put some timber on the native tank and woke up to this this morning
  4. some concretes are made with extra chemicals for hardening, reinforcing and waterproofing also some concretes and cobbles are treated for antifungal, mould and moss control i have coral sand in tank and limestone chip, shell and aragonite in the sump
  5. i have a similar situation happening but the agression is only gone so far as chasing the sub fish out of the immediate area the tank is 2400 x 600 x 600 though other than seperating i have no immediate solution though, sorry edit:- mine haven't got to that stage yet, crosses fingers and touches wood can you seperate them or put a divider in to keep them seperate
  6. last layer of fibreglass is on now i have to cut the acrylic down to 2880 x 1000 i have been given conflicting information on cutting it skill saw is too fast and melts it in the cut last i cut was 10mm with a jigsaw so may do this again any other ideas
  7. bigger sump means more total water in system, same as top tank but lower water level would be ideal
  8. we have stopped taking in possums as people were seeing ours and thought they would have one too then when they got tired of them just letting them go
  9. good pic oeminx, personally i would add 2 heaters to the tank itself, if return pump turnd off the tank will still stay warm also add a powerhead to tank to increase watr flow in tank and lower water level in sump to accomodate extra inflow if pump turns off baffles in sump could be moved to one end or a wet dry tower added to the sump just a personal opinion
  10. every time we experiment with something we increase our knowledge base
  11. what were heat pads 12 or 24 hr nice combo of colour with those 2 species
  12. looking good big mountain a couple of low land areas and its a newt environment
  13. i think a lot of how big and fast they grow is as ryan said down to water quality, food and tank size from the start
  14. brilliant idea could you use a tree trunk as the column? sump under tank safety factor on glass may be important for public place
  15. rough, rough cough, cough, aaarrrkkk, fur ball
  16. http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/regs/imports/ihs http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/regs/imports/ihs/risk
  17. the issue is no health standard and no one with the money and inclination to apply for one with a good chance of it being declined then having to pursue a legal battle
