tony is vaccinated we plan to get molly vaccinated soon as wild rabbits come onto our properety now. disenfect every thing you can even clothing you have worn before touching unvaccinated rabbits humans and insects are carriers for calci virus

it will come off easily with a wire brush when its dry i have a friend taht used a waterblaster to no avail so i ended up with the two large bits on question!

yep that would be a good idea also if u are using silicone to glue it in you will need to flush the tank a few times

a few people from the forum have offered advice and fish for sale and i will be taking them up on there offers very sn

yea lol wont be used on this tank anemore just part of the stuff lying around the tank that ive stripped out of it

well the background is finally in , i have passed on all unwanted fish and have the two clown loaches and pleco in with the goldfish (heater and cannister filter are also on the goldfish tank) water is finally in the tank and the third time around i managed to get the silicone to hold it in :bounce: the background is coated with roughly a kilo of coral sand and some blocks of oamaru stone for buffering will add more if there is not enuff so after a few water changes to get rid of the scum from the gravel and ane residues the clown loaches and pleco will go in (having become accostomed to a higher ph in the goldfish tank which has a coral sand fluidised bed filter and some coral in it) then get to get some cichlids yay

yep you can use normal polystyrene but the thicker it is the more expensive its white gold! the latest back grond ive built i didnt use epoxy but ordinary acrylic house paint instead(thanks rockwork for the tips ) the ones i coated with epoxy however are far more durable and as solid as rock for a newt this kind of durability would be unnessacary. have a play around with different carving tools and rock or tree root types on scrap pieces first then once you have figured out what you want carve the good piece

the first time i seen your 5ft tank there was mainly sand covering the bottom then a few months later it looked like the photo the results of co2 are quite unbelievable

viewtopic.php?f=40&t=35848 finds something you like in here then figure out how to make it

wont make it to this 1 guys as we are helping a new flatmate move in

well i made a background instead its coming along nicely

that makes it sound really bad! :oops:

more my motivation for giving up also health im not very fit at all i put that all down to smokes , barrie i understand the pm u sent me . im thinking i will try hypnosis well whats $150 if i can spend thats on smokes in two weeks

as per subject line im thinking bout trying it can anebody share experiences please

sometimes people use the reverse method as well as other filtration as it helps keep the gravel clean. both ways are great filters and are often underestimated

well he is eating shrimp now yay :bounce: im wondering if the shrimp or prawns with the shell on would be ane good to wear down his teeth ? i will buy some mussel tonite

sounds good would you mind pming me where to get them from? 8)

he was eating bloodworm and snails at the lfs when i got him he had a very round lil belly. there are heaps of small snails in the tank. i havent seen him eat anething yet ive tried daphnia, waterboatmen ,cut up shrimp, frozen bloodworms, microworms to no avail ive only had him 1 day maybe he will try eating when he gets a lil hungrier

hi was just wondering more about feeding mussels to them do you mean cut up live 1s from the supermarket or very small black 1s found in rockpools?

limstone is calcium carbonate- my guess 64% carbonate . which is silly but calcium as a pure element rather than a salt is not much good to ane living creature

i have a few ideas regarding the gravel to try now, im not actually too worried about vacuuming the gravel as currently all my tanks have white sand which is way worse to keep clean. at the moment im trying to source a big block of poly to carve got quoted $87 for the stuff i wanted but there is no way im gunna pay that ! i have a few tricks up my sleeve mite be able to get it for a few doz instead

having a really good gp helps too for a year i was pushed back and forth between mental health services and my gp until i got a more respected gp who stood up to them.

i keep my bb gobies in a tank with a mix of white sand and coral sand i have heard they like rocky areas but i guess if there is somewhere they can hide and call their own they will be happy

when i work in the rubbish pit at work we have to cut cords off dumped appliances for the scrap metal value , one day i found an active sub woofer so i plugged it in and hooked it up to the stereo , it didnt work atll that well so i pulled out the speaker wires from the stereo . then i grabbed a steak knife (my side cutters were on the forklift ) and cut the power cord off to scrap it -- but it was still plugged in --bang ! it melted a groove in the steak knife i didnt get a shock but it scared me

i cut slices off a corgette or use lettuce and put it in a cup of water in the microwave for a few mins then cool it down then it will sink and even the angels i used to have ate it
