platinum mines in senegal ? platinum means they can charge more than the golden named ones another name for albino ?

awesome tank, think about the potential of what it could be one of the best parts is deciding on the future of a tank like this

ditto 8) well done georgeous

odballs are good

yes with sanding there will be dust and fumes from oil based paint in the air so if your running an air pump get some longer hose and put the pump in another room or covered outside

that'll do it every time my favourite breakfast or pudding must have salt in it

welcome good luck with the importing

welcome there is an old saying if you have livestock, you also have dead stock part of the learning curve we all go through good luck with future fish keeping

well done simian

hermits when breeding approach each other and the male "tickles" the females legs and then puts his smaller legs inside her shell, they then both hop out of the shell and put their ventral surfaces together for a few seconds then get back into their shells quickly. hermits can also fight with each other over shells this is a more violent affair with tussling back and forth and shells being tipped over i hope they are breeding, good luck some species disperse eggs into the water, and some keep young in their shell

i don't do changes that big either maybe 500 litres max, just trickle it in through the sump usually

thank you for the clarification jolliolli

whats a full siphon ? :oops:

a fishy doughnut doesn't do it for me :evil:

i use polyurethane for sealing timber, safe once dry

only looks complicated because that is a sump on a marine tank on a freshwater system it is not that complicated, water in , pump out i find it cheaper than a canister with the same flow rate, also a lot more media area but then i make the sumps myself, if your getting one made probably better off with the canister

where the insects and oiliphant pics?

SNAP WELCOME Puffadragon

no more photos navarre ? the ones you've shown are neat

they can also contain filter media for a biological filter bigger than most canister filters

looking good its only overcrowded when the fish are jammed against the glass hans nice setup and mix of fish firenzenz

well done

that would be great also shows that you guys are really serious fish keepers with the fishes interest at heart good luck

i thought this was talking about the content of the thread or the wording of the original post and some of the posts in the topic were borderline and full of innuendo of a sexual nature, against the site guidelines we have to be specific with what we write as the written word does not allow for expressions of emotion, emphasis on particular words or inflections of voice - "yeah it was full of Innuendo" would have let the reader know exactly what was being talked about and that it was not aimed at the mods nowadays the word "nazi" is used too often by people who don't realise what it means to those who lived through the war or the generation that followed

thanks for the plug simian always seem to find enough one way or the other luke
