I have to wonder...I only had them once when I was a kid, but it sounds like most kids here are constantly being reinfested with them. Is that because they're more common everywhere than when I was a kid? Or is it just that NZ children are more gross and parasite infested :lol: than Alaskan kids?

Those are clearly old photos. It's not raining in them.

Green water...any tips on how to speed up the process?
Ira replied to Insect Direct's topic in Freshwater
No daphnia unless you want lots of daphnia and nice clear water. Snails should be fine though. -
Awww, I'm disappointed. I was expecting a lego fish tank, not lego decorations in a fish tank.

Women tend to do that...

Silicates are compounds containing silicon dioxide. Like many sands, glass, silicone used for sealing tanks, tapwater if it's from wells...It's EVERYWHERE!

A single float switch may work fine. There's this factor known as hysteresis which is usually built into them. Essentially it's the gap between the on and off points. It will probably be in the region of 5mm or so, though. If that's too small you should be able to easily rig up a couple float switches and the correct type of relay to do the job. Likely best to use a 12v pump in this case.

If she wasn't morbidly obese maybe she would have gotten out of the way...

Never mind. I did a google search on it, didn't come up with anything. Then I turned safe search off and it came up with some kind of goldfish.

What are they?

Is it possible to get new fish onto the allowed list?

So, what you gather is that it's not that hard once the difficult, expensive, time consuming part is done? -
Not even close. Volume is basically irrelevant, it's surface area that matters. Double the dimensions of a tank and the volume cubes, but the surface area only squares. If 10 liters takes 10 watts to keep at a set temp, double the dimensions and you'll have an 80 liter tank that takes 40 watts to keep at temp or 1 watt per 2 liters. Triple the dimensions 270 liters that takes 90 watts, 1 watt per 3 liters.

Is he a lilacpoint, Bikbok? Looks way too light to be a blue. I hate blues! Wifey loves hers more than she loves me. I'd rather have a red anyway, I think they're the best looking color.

Then this is only fair when the cat gets old...

Actually, I do know a birman breeder here in Upper Hutt that has a couple moggies(she was not at all happy with her queen for escaping and getting knocked up...) that might be getting close to old enough to rehome. They look pretty much like purebred reds, apparently. I haven't seen them since they were a week or two old though.

Thirded.

If you google it, it's 10 watts.

Not a particularly noisy one. Bone stock cop cars exceed the db limit.

Meal worms are really easy to breed. Buy a bunch of oat bran and dump them in. Done.
-
So 100 of them would be about the volume of a car...

It's rated probably for 10L at a room temperature of 21°...Sounds like it's not enough if you have a cold room.

oh fish keepers whats your power bill in the winter

That's kind of like asking, "Why would you use a fart fan in the bathroom? You're just going to poop and smell it up again..." -

Hmm, I seriously doubt you can blame the tanks for a $315 increase. -
I'm hoping to move one of my tanks soon...I expect it to be a bit nasty.
