  1. the sight of me changing feet has never been described as awesome before
  2. I FIND IF YOU TAKE THE little HEDGE CLIPPERS OFF THE BARBS BEFORE PUTTING THEM IN THE TANK THEY LEAVE THE PLANTS ALONE
  3. all natural is cheaper i was only opening my mouth to change the peds again
  4. wednesday went down to the stream on our property and got some different plants and about 200 freshwater shrimp only put about 30 shrimp in the tank and fed out the rest today caught 4 immature redfin bullies and 5 inanga so popped them in as well will fill tank tomorrow then 50% water changes every 2 or 3 days after that
  5. Native tank needed for the fieldays, so i started setting one up on monday wanted to get a stream type biotype so thought a spare 1.5 metre x 45cm x 45cm would be best to create a good current in i have sourced some river gravel from the local "Rock Shop" from fine gravel to 50mm pieces, nice brown colour as i need to make it movable so i thought a canister would be better than a sump dug out a cf1200 and replaced a couple of "o" rings and away it went, makes quite a current in the tank used media from a goldfish tank sump then 2/3 filled tank with pond water as the galaxiads i will be using are in it already

  8. giving the perspex a rough sand can help to get silicin to stick a bit better or drilling shallow holes in it
  9. well the arguement might be that they are lower life forms and don't feel anything some believe that plants feel it when cut in nature one thing consumes another, it is called the cycle of life and the cycle has been has been going a long time save the cute and cuddly and squash the creepy and crawly :roll:
  10. sorry Avits it was a while ago most stuff is on sumps now
  11. not exactly HOB more a SAE (stand at end) 10L bucket, with glued divider in the middle spout out of side and full of pumice waterflow down one side of divider and up the other, out spout and back in tank used medium flow pump to run i imagine anyrectangular plastic container with wide spout would suffice
  12. i need to apologise, my fish when colouring up did show some orangey yellow when first colouring, now they are red i went back to some old photos and under flash it shows the red shoulders i breed are from 9 to 10 year old stock that is a closed gene pool same with the royal blues
