a lot of pumps can be run inline go have a look at the pond masters at the water garden on blenheim road or even some of the cheaper pumps at the pet and garden supplies on fitzgerald. the only thing is to expect there to be a lot more noise , i would consider putting the pump in the tank as the inlet for the filter as it will be quieter

yeah thats pretty much what to do extra wireless signal would be a bonus but not necessary will buy a better router at some point. i would just run cables but that would have to be made tidy with proper wall ports which could get expensive so this was my next option . ill give that a crack 2moro the instructions call it ethernet convertor mode if that fails its most likely a wet ware issue and i may have to find a local network expert that like beer :slfg:

recently i bought this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ralink-3052-Wir ... 927wt_1111 with the aim of connecting my tv and blue ray player to it, as some sort of wireless bridge so it would basically pick up the wifi signal from my pc's modem and convert it to a wired lan signal as well as outputting wifi again . i think the term is ap client im unsure about how to configure it so far i have plugged it in to my pc's internet port opened the browser and typed 192.168.16.1 to bring up the menu then go to ap client then entered my ssid ( thinking its the name of my network, same name as whats on my cell phone wireless menu) and the password but its not connecting when i hit apply and then go plug my other modem back in and plug this into the tv , the tv recognises the modem but cant connect to the internet any one got any ideas?

carbon should get rid of the brown tinge but that will depend on what it is to some extent more than likely sediment , you would want some decent carbon though not the cheap stuff. as for lime i hope you dont have any fish in there as the ph will be very high

they dont seem to mind the cold they dont however like heat over 20 deg much , they are easy to breed in ponds as plenty of live food for the young

you will probably find 6.5 inch will fit any way , if its too big then you probably need 5.25inch speakers

this is the one Alan means, http://www.selleys.co.nz/sealants/silicone/glass/ you can also get it in a small tube may be better for a small one off job, sometimes the warehouse has it , but bunnings , mitre 10 etc will definitely have it

a local guy tried to save a buck here but making one of those instead of using a cannister filter. turned out he should have just brought a filter by the time he brought all the equipment he needed and media to boot, it cost well in excess of a suitable cannister, something to think about :dunno:

depending on the control gear you may be able to run t5s or t8s but its probably more hassle than its worth .id just buy the pls they are good as if not better than t5s im not sure what you want them for but this would be suitable for freshwater http://lightbulbman.co.nz/shop/P60292/5 ... -86-6-000k for marine its more expensive $60 for a rsm tube but then t5s arent cheap either

nope wont fit , also be careful when buying pl bulbs as there are two types

well had fish in for ages now , lost the clowns to marine ich a few weeks back , lost the nem to a power head the week i put it in not really using the filter socks much as the clog overnight gonna try find some 400micron ones heres some photos clown hosting toadstool leather after the nem got killed cleaner shrimp cleaner shrimp moult coral beauty skimmer gunk -smells like what it looks like the only fish i have left since the clowns died- pajama cardinal and coral beauty new aqua scape supported by 15mm pvc pipe need to be turned around and ~1kg of liverock added eductors causing surface agitation- great invention! think of it as an underwater water venturi all in all tank is going well just taking it slowly got plenty more things i need to set up like the ato and temperature controller

it would depend if its a small tank like less than 100l and you think the chest can handle the weight go for it id be more careful with anything bigger

try the otakaikino (southbranch) also i noticed at the ashley gorge there were thousands of tiny bullies ( i think)

what kind of rocks exactly are you after? as it will probably be cheaper to use real rocks even if you pay for them also less time consuming

could use a solvent perhaps but its probably safer and more easily controlled to use a heat gun or hair dryer

one the cement has set melt most of the polystyrene out , you will need a reasonable layer of cement to do this though

looks to me like an angelicus ,small fish wont be safe around it i cant confirm about the marks on your discus. if you do decide to sell it they normally go for a good price

it's similar to freshwater with an extra step ammonia---> Nitrite----> nitrate ----------> nitrogen gas ( bubbles to surface is displaced by oxygen due to water movement) (<----Aerobic bacteria--------->) ( anaerobic bacteria) the live rock is really porous so has a lot surface area exposed for the aerobic bacteria but more importantly has a lot of surface area not exposed for anaerobic bacteria . its getting a balance of the bacteria that counts otherwise you end up with an excess of nitrates which cause algae issues and are harmful to inverts in small amounts and fish in higher amounts. so you want to minimise media that is designed to harbour aerobic bacteria like sponge, noodles, sintered glass even filter wool to keep a good balance of anaerobic bacteria

to be honest i wouldnt even use a cannister filter with live rock in it , it will still become a sediment trap and who can be bothered cleaning it every couple of days the live rock will perform just as well in the tank if not better. all good to use it for running carbon temporarily . even for fish only its still more hassle than its worth get a decent amount of live rock and a decent skimmer and you will be well on your way

quite disgusted to see mitre 10 selling fish bowls

frogs again would depend on the type of fish , i reckon thats pretty cool on its own without any thing

my marine fish and corals say it is :sage:

burnsco marine they have a black bilge hose and a grey one thicker that the fx5 stuff though

i reckon that wil be fine unless your growing heaps of plants in there :thup: you just need enough light to see the fish too much may have them hiding all the time
