    Step one: Use more accurate measurement than "It doesn't seem to move much."
  2. I saw a couple grown ones in the US (Yay, Seaworld! Hehe) and I'd love a tank big enough for them. Afterwards I saw a couple for sale in a fish shop. Couple little babies like 6 inches long for about $100 if I remember right.

    Sump requirements??

    I have 2, one to divide off the chamber the overflow enters and another to divide off the pump section. Only time I get bubbles is when my topoff barrel runs out of water and the pump section starts running low.
  4. Superglue GEL, not normal superglue. Or go to a hobby shop and get thick CA might work. Or just use wedding veil and rubber bands.
  5. I was going to say that waiting 3 weeks would be redundant as the fish have already JUST gone through a 6 week(IIRC) quarantine. But you're in canuckia, don't think they have quarantines? Anyway, I'd say buy the fish you want quarantine it yourself.

    Jewel fry

    Siphon them out into a bucket.
  7. Haha, Man, people pick the oddest stuff to worry about.
  8. I had one of my tanks heaters unplugged for 2 weeks over winter. Fish were moving slower, but were just fine, including my brazilian puffer. Temp was 16° when I noticed.
  9. You'll be wanting something more like a pond pump than a powerhead. Something along the lines of a Laguna PJ5000 or two should do it. How much flow are you looking for?
  10. I'd get rid of the electric yellows and the clown, keep the good stuff.

  12. He's making poos because that's how animals work. Food in, poos out.

    nano streams

    I have a pair of 6045s. They're not bad, but they are a bit noisier than my Seios.
  14. Hmmm, Last time I went to Mitre 10 they had 30mm(Or something like that, fairly large anyway) for only $2-3 meter and smaller diameter stuff that's the diameter most gravel vacs use for $2/m VERY cheap.

    heaters

    Put another heater in each. 300W in the bigger tank is definitely not going to do it over winter if it's not insulated. Summer will be fine. My tank is just slightly bigger and over winter going flat out the heater keeps it just above 24.

    heaters

    1: Yes the numbers on heaters are BS. It's well known and has been that way forever. 2: Why do you want your tank so hot? 3: If the heaters won't heat it over 27 when turned all the way up the tank is either stagnant and you have a hot bubble around the heaters and the rest cold or you need bigger heaters.
  17. Where did they bring it from? Maybe that's what killed it?

    Lionrock

    I agree, this demands more investigation. Who wants to hold Dan down while I catch the fish?
  19. Hehe, Funny that we've gone something like a few years since the last question about these things then suddenly we get 2 in about a week.

    The spines aren't fatal to humans unless you're allergic or get a bad infection. They're just enough to hurt like a b*tch.
  21. Oh! Ok, that makes more sense, I couldn't figure out why anyone would want a red devil anyway.
  22. Ira

    New pet!

    Oh...Well then who was it that caught a red shrimp? Ignore me then.
  23. Heh, red devils? There are quite a few of them around.
