You got lucky in the fact it was a gradual degradation of their habitat, after your previous attempt it would be good to get all test kits and get an understanding of water chemistry

In other words he didnt know the rules it was his job to enforce :facepalm:

hole sizes are here http://www.hansenproducts.co.nz/product ... nstall.htm

plumbing place or farmlands store what size drill do you have?

Shouldn't be any sand in it, I run it through a filter sock just to ensure its clean.

eels, frogs, herons, rail, bitterns, rats, weasel and ferrets all to contend with

are you going 10L bigger?

You are meant to read the articler not just ogle the pictures :smln:

you could try researching :sml1:

Sorry it got missed amongst other approvals, you will need to post it again to bump it up the ladder.

Welcome aboard

Add plants, a couple of fish and a bit of driftwood and wait for a week then check ph before adding anything else. Things will change as the tank cycles.

A New tank can have ph fluctuations, put some plants in and wait awhile before testing. Fish can adapt to slow ph swings

worst bite i ever had and took weeks to heal was from a Homo sapiens and i have been bitten by quite a few different species :sage:

It is always a worry when something unknown is moving your jewels. :smln:

BB to start, you can add a bit of sand later. Good flow is hard to achieve with sand, floor will soon get covered in coraline and no detritus trap.

Tell him without his blood the females couldn't breed.

lol, thought you would have answered. still a cushion star, get some variation from 4 to 7 legs what colour is the top side? how long has the weed been in there?

Ensure mesh size is small enough to catch them

you are both correct next fish

about 20 mins, big 12v bilge pump

Clean natural salt water can be collected locally in many parts of New Zealand; you just need to ensure it is clean. Collecting about half an hour before high tide is best but not after any recent rain as this can include contaminants from land runoff. Near river mouths or areas where there is a lot of boat activity should be avoided as well for the same reasons. Collected water can be stored indefinitely in sealed containers away from any light sources. If you are worried about parasites ( I've never had an issue) put water through a 1 micron filter as all parasites are bigger than2 microns The task of collecting water can be made easier by using a 12V pump that plugs into the vehicles cigarette lighter and then pumping into large sealable, food grade plastic containers. Collection points around NZ., used by other local reefers. https://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=2833137
