Have you checked out http://www.loaches.com/ ? There are a lot of threads on hillstream loaches.

Can anyone build glass tanks in Christchurch?

Inside Oceans. In the phone book. Really nice to deal with. -
If you are in Wanganui and this did happen then you must have had your tank on a very insecure stand.
-
I was in bed and got out in a flash. Was holding the tank with no lids. Water sloshed out anyways. Lasted for a good minute here. Felt like a 5.0 by the time it got here.

Good Idea.

Curious. Photobucket is not working atm. -
Clean the powerhead. Take apart the impeller assembly and remove any gunk in it.
-
Hmmmm blue eyes does it for me. One look and it is all over.
-
That is hilarious. Between 2 and 8 is a perfect age imo. So inquisitive and they understand you.

I love the redfins, second fish down. What's their name?
-
yup pond snails are pond snails. they do better in a heated tank too.
-
When I had mystery snails they bred a lot. Each clutch is layed above water line every 3-4 weeks. Has 200-300 eggs. Around 95% hatch rate and they eat algae rather than plants. Grow fast. Ramshorn clutches are only 10-12 eggs every 3 weeks from what I have observed.

I thought it could be the rubber mounts. I switched the rubber mounts around and the impeller shaft. It is quiet atm. Will order a replacement.

My Powerhead is 1200lph. I clean it regularly. It has started becoming noisy. A rattly noise. Do I need a new impeller? Or new Powerhead?

I would hazard a guess to say that no fish doesn't like wood. They don't really care. Plecos need it to help digestion. Some like hiding under it. In a 60L BNs and a Betta would just about do it. Depending on the temperament of the Betta. Perhaps half a dozen small tetra's or rasbora's.

The wood has been a deck for the last 40 odd years. It has dried swollen and shrunk a whole bunch. It has been stored for the last year in the garage. I screwed each join on 3 sides. Each join has a minimum of 10 screws. I wasn't leaving much to chance. I braced both flat sides and each end of each vertical brace to stop any movement.
-
I guess my next stand will have diagonals in it then. Thanks for that.
-
Yes. Cut some sponge to the fit in the top of the basket, punch a hole in the center that is slightly smaller than your filter hose diameter. Put together and bingo.
-
Yeah but it would depend on what colour you wanted. Just like how fruit salad goldfish bowl pea gravel doesn't go with anything.......
-
There have been a few threads over the years. One of the biggest issues as I remember it was sourcing fine enough silica sand so that it got pushed up the the top again. It does look cool though.
-
KiwiPete I don't mind criticism. I don't fully understand your point about folding. The stand is 80cm high. I have braced the middle of the beams. The beams are heart Rimu = very solid and hard and solid and hard and firm and inflexible. With the tank on it doesn't rock or shudder or move. In what way will cross straps help?
-
Whetu that is such a GORGEOUS tank. You have done so well. The effect is amazing. As for the intake you could get an extension pipe and lower the grill behind the plants.
-
Perfect for a pair of Cockatoo's! Anyone selling any? hint hint Next weekend I am buying a school of Columbian Tetra's for this tank all going well. The tank I emptied into this tank, to move is going to have Pearl Geo's.

ps. I have no skill at DIY or carpentry. Turned out fine. Took about 7 hours all together over 3 days.
