  1. Using rain water really sucks. Every time I do a water change the fish breed 8)
  2. Is it JBL 'aquatrop j' that you are trying to replicate?
  3. Wot types of cichlids are you talking about? African, South American, Dwarf, Discus .............
  4. I am getting quite a few pups but seedlings are much more challanging. one of my pups and one of my seedlings
  5. I have had 5 or 6 out of 100-200 germinate :dunno:
  6. Sorry but no, I dont have enough to split my culture
  7. The 10000K MH bulbs haven't arrived yet but I do have another tank with 250w 14000k MH lighting and it out preforms my other t5 6500K and 10000K+ tanks in all respects as long as you can balance the ferts and pump in heaps of co2
  8. I recently purchased these bulbs to fit 2 commercial 150w units that I got from Ryan http://cgi.ebay.com/MARINE-COLOR-HQI-150W-10K-10000K-METAL-HALIDE-BULB-/160578863363?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25633f0103
  9. Undulatus comes from the word undulate meaning to have a wavelike appearance or form So many plants with wavy edge leaves are given this name. Eg microsorum pteropus undulata anubias undulata hosta undulata Cryptocoryne Undulatus Aponogeton Undulatus
  10. And this is my female of the same species. She can be quite blue or very yellow depending on her mood
  11. Perhaps I should look after it for you Jen. Especially now that you are looking after rescued fish, have recently had a promotion and are no doubt preparing for the conference
  12. As nitrates rise, the PH in a tank with unbuffered water rises So the PH of your tank will gradually build up all week and then crash when you do a water change. So it's more a matter of PH swings and crashes rather than spikes
  13. The easiest and cheapest way to get high quality soft water for your fish is to collect rain water. just run one of the down pipes from your roof into a 200L drum.
  14. Well done to all three of you. Congrats. I hope Mum is doing well
  15. Not to be confused with Myer's Hillstream loach (Pseudogastromyzon myers) Nice one a-d. did you get them from Maurine ?
  16. Slightly off topic but a while back I took Ryanjury and Caryl to a facility that used Polystyrene bean bag balls as wet/dry filter media
  17. I own and breed BN and keep a few fancies :lol:

    Bugger!

    Sorry to hear this Ryan. I know how fastidious you normally are so this must really really hurt. Chin up mate.
  19. Awesome Got any pics of the "golden" that I sent you ?
  20. That's one hell of a lot of planets that align :facepalm:
  21. Have your fish shown any signs of stress caused by this 2 deg temperature variance ? If not.... Why worry. My tanks drop way more than that every week when I do cold water changes. If anything the fish love it. It even stimulates many species to breed.
