  1. definatly the 5000lph
  2. i had a 300lph one but i also had a 4500lph return pump fed thruogh 2 loc-line fittings i didnt think it was enough flow
  3. if your using a stream type pump id go at least 5000lph one of the sunsun ones should do the trick
  4. yeah $35 bucks cant go wrong get a cheap bulb off ebay and youre away. will do ya till ya get more into it
  5. funny you say that my tank pre- earhquake was 500mm3 , with 150wmh the new one im building is 650mm3 with 120w led. id go led unless you can find a mh really cheap. led also solves the problem of actinic lighting
  6. i had a 150w mh on my old 500mm cube worked well you woul still probably want some actinic lighting i used 36w pl tubes
  7. attach the tank to the stand im using alu corner brackets i was told to use a large sheet of double sided tape . then make the footprint of the stand bigger, im going to attach a large heavy ply board covered in carpet, you could also bolt the stand to the floor i wouldnt bolt it to the wall as the walls and floors move differently and may warp the stand with all that weight pressing down on it
  8. put a durso top on it with a pvc tee and elbow and a cap with a small hole in it. http://www.google.co.nz/imgres?q=adjustable+durso&um=1&hl=en&safe=off&sa=N&nord=1&biw=1440&bih=743&tbm=isch&tbnid=jr0pIhSm3vFsyM:&imgrefurl=http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t234156.html&docid=gUmSJOlNr2BUQM&imgurl=http://oceanxstasy.com/XGallery/d/756-2/AirFlowSlit.JPG&w=640&h=480&ei=TIKkTqD8F8qTiQeHwPW2BA&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=873&vpy=191&dur=439&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=107&ty=100&sig=116518092480934819249&page=1&tbnh=137&tbnw=179&start=0&ndsp=34&ved=1t:429,r:15,s:0 http://www.midwestcustomaquariums.com/dursostandpipe.html\
  9. if you are talking about a ultrasonic foger , they really heat the tank up so not a great idea unless you have a big tank with a lot of water other wise you could run it in a small container above the tank and let the mist flow into the tank
  10. looking good so far, the drain pipe is set quite low inside the overflow box, is there a reason for this or is there additional plumbing we cant see inside the box? like a durso or something? is the overflow quiet?
  11. if you get whistlers a small container of water is better than a big water area as they tend to drown themselves bell frogs will appreciate the water though as they spend hours in it
  12. algood have 2 more people coming to have a look today then the landlord is making a decision around midday
  13. i you live near any farms or paddocks id get them vaccinated for RCD. we have male and female lop rabbits we got the male fixed he is much more placid now and the female is definatly more dominant . its not a great idea to keep two males together as they may fight or spray at each other. a fixed male and female is better or two females. ours love bananas and apples and carrots also broccoli and cauili . . dandylion leaves are a definite favourite. a good food is nrm pellets i usually mix sunflower seeds with it too. be careful with them inside there urine stains quite badly and they are prone to chewing telephone cords and wires . ( mine also chewed the buttons off the tv remote once) to toilet train get a litter box and put their droppings in it they will eventually( mine only took a week) just start going in there. i wouldnt empty it every single day as they need to eat some of their droppings at night, i think it has something to do with their digestiove system not being very effiecent so they process some food twice to get what they need from it, so dont be too disturbed if you see it eat its own droppings
  14. had 5 people round for a look already
  15. we listed it on trade me http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=417052352
  16. i brought one locally from tradme there is another seller on there water coolers direct or something bear in mind most will be RO units and you will need to change out the granular carbon for DI resin (which i havent found locally yet but hollywoods fish farm sell it) you will also need to change the order of the filters to go 1 prefilter 2 granulated carbon 3 ro 4 DI
