  4. can you reuse the heat packs
  5. I would like to setup a sump under my tank, what is the best way to get the water out other than drilling a hole in the side of the tank. Any help or even pics would be great.

  7. my main tank has turned green, you can't even see 6 inches in. I know it alge but what is the best way to get rid if it. I did a huge water change and it got worse.
  8. i,ve been told that if a fish is small enough to fit inside another fishes mouth then there is a good chance it will get eaten :-?
  9. have taken them out to be on the safe side, thanks for all the help.
  10. our platies have just had about 15 babies, yesterday, i was wondering if the parents would eat them and should i take them out of the tank.
  11. i have just tested my water in my community tank and it has a ph of around 8 to 8.5. how do i lower it. I also tested the ammonia and that was 0. i tested just after my weekly 20% water change. I would like to get it down to around 7, any suggestions. also i have been getting my water straight from the garden hose and when i tested that it had a ph of 8 to 8.5. The guys at the lfs said the hose would be ok but the ph level looks a bit off. do i have to get a ro/di unit to solve the problem.
  12. Thanks guys, was just wondering how much my halides where going to cost to run
  13. How do you work out how much power your lighting is costing you. Is there some sort of formula, thanks.
  14. I don't think there was any rope-heads back in Jesus days. I prefer the opposite.....skinned up, shave my head every other day :lol:
  15. I want to build a fish room and was wondering what sort of plumbing some of you fellas have for water changes, air, sumps with multi tanks etc.
  16. I have just bought 2 Pearl Gouramies, how do i provide good water filtration but with less current. I would also like to add some discus soon and they also don't like current either. What is the best thing to do.
  17. NZ discus man would you be willing to share your info on setting up breeding rooms. pm me
  18. I want to start a fish room and am looking at a central filtration plan. what i would like to know is there anywhere who sell pumps that auto changes the pressure it pumps out. I was just wondering as when i turn one tank off i don't want higher pressure to be released in the other tanks or is there another way to do it other than gravity. Thanks
  19. whats an alge eater, i would like one.
  20. Tank has been going for about 2 months, i will leave the light on longer and give it a good water change and see if that works. Thanks

  22. Sorry, might be better if i ask it another way. Are TL-D 58w fluorescent tubes and holders (things that you put them in) ok for a planted tropical tank. I have just been given some and would just like to know if they are ok. ps Ira, do you still have your rock
  23. Just been gives 2 x twin tube T8's, would these be ok above a planted tank.
