    Hardscape Help!

    I agree with the nymox. Something like Daltons aquatic soil then maybe twice that depth of gravel. Then add fish and water.
  2. I'd thought it was anything where the taxes due were over $50. With the old GST that was $400, now it would be $333
  3. I agree with Stella's wash, put. Actually, I would skip the wash part if some of these were on the rock: Lateria Neritoides, endemic to the north island only. One of or the only bioluminescent freshwater snails.
  4. When are you going on holiday next? :slfg:
  5. I don't think so, I'm not sure I'd be able to keep it alive in my tank.

    My free tanks

    Ooh, FX5s...Wait, nah, I actually have a surplus of filters right now anyway.
  7. I found I liked a couple low power blue leds better than something more powerful like a fluoro. The blue has a more moonlight coloration to it the leds are a better point source so you get the pretty shimmering effect.
  8. I need to get a big variety of plants and see what works in my tank. I've been waiting since, let's see...February for someone who said she'd send me some*Cough*Zev*Cough* :slfg: I don't get to any pet shops that have plants often, all the ones at Animates when I went last time were half dead looking.
  9. Some of us also eat pizzas, steaks, cheeseburgers, veggies... I probably would. If that's what people want that's what I'll sell them. Fish stores/pet shops aren't exactly high profit businesses, trying to make the world a better place is a great idea but made much more difficult by bankruptcy.
  10. Best I could come up with. I can't remember the last time I had algae on the glass. It's been probably 7-8 years since I used an algae magnet.
  11. Would this be green spot algae? It's the only algae I have.
  12. Nope. Nope. Nope. Yup. Nope. Oh, wait, these were rhetorical questions? :sage:
  13. An iris, obviously. Or are you wanting to know which species?

    Missing words...

    1 Should be careful of the Idiots Shooting Rockets.
  15. Just goes to prove, they're not venomous enough.
  16. Only tends to be children because as you grow so do your eustachian tubes.

    LED lighting

    I haven't used it, seems expensive but not bad for an LED setup. Not very efficient, 39 lumens/watt vs around 60-70 for an average metal halide and similar for fluoro tubes. Should be fine for a low light or small marine tank. The blues probably won't be ideal for a FW tank which generally don't use as blue lighting.
  18. Looks like both are harmless food additives, why the worry?
  19. If you're driving down through Palmy, then Wet Pets.
  20. Because they have really hard shells and have been known to break puffer teeth which are stronger and harder than anything a loach has.
  21. Call it Weed. My uncle had a pet rabbit he gave a great name, named it Insect because he was related to Bugs Bunny.
  22. Sounds like a spaceship to me.
  23. My guess would be pollen.
