im interested to know where to buy regulator and other equipment

alan min are u still selling microworm cultures?

thanks for that always helpful to have a glossary now make it sticky somewhere

yea lol if u dont like my driving get off the footpath

have a look in the saltwater section at some of the tanks they use better bulbs with a whiter light far more effective

online

not a live plant in sight

heres some pics aneway

ur not really meant to as the rhizome can rot , tye it to a rock or bogwood with black cotton or nylon

thanks i rung rexel only have 3000k and 4200k in 100w @ $97+gst trade! i think i will make do with waht i have got and see how i go

got given some riccia a while ago im pulling it out like duckweed , i would like to try some unusual plants tho . mite have enuff light to grow something in a pot on top and let the roots go into the water even

i have 2 nutrafin co2 units but looking at going to somthing bigger maybe using bottled gas should be able to get an old fire extinguisher tested for free and i have some1 to fill it too

i dont know if u have animates up there but if u do wait till they have an aqua fun day they do buy 1 get 1 free

start breeding snails outside in a bucket then u wont need to cut its teeth then you can have nightmares about running out of snails

yeah its a planted tank had 4x20w tubes before but come across these metal halides at work so had to try them out

ur swords will really take off with those fert balls

i now have 2 100w metal halides over my euroveiw 90 as well as 2x20w flouros my question is how long should these be on for during the day(to be fair on the fish they are rather bright!) also as the bulbs were intended for use as lighting sources for large rooms and i have no idea how old they are i am wondering if they lose useful light output like fluoros? im happy with the 'colour temperature" of the bulb but is there anething speacially made for aquariums (not marine) or can i just get the "cool white" equilavelent if i need to replace the bulbs ? i am aware that new bulbs are expensive if ane1 could point in the right direction for 100w edison screw MH (not double ended but rather encased in aother bulb if ane1 knows what i mean)

i had the same problem in my old house landlord was an idiot too they dont understand that a 50 year old house is going to need some maintenince not just years of patch up jobs the house made us sick especially my fiancee maybe look at getting the house condemmned as unsafe to live in there is guidelines somewhere as to what is acceptable

my g/f is scared of the aro at redwood! it eats whole goldfish for breakfast as tm said : to my untrained eye it would appear healthy. they had silver aros for sale there small 1s though. the aro is certainly an eyeopener for those who venture out the back i know i was shocked that you could keep fish that big imagine the awe of the general public who dont visit these forums and see pictures of these monsters

im wondering if the 1s i got from the lfs are nz 1s or not mine seem to be doing well . have actually met some1 that keeps them sucessfully in a tropical community tank (tho i wouldnt recommend trying this)

" fishbowl " is kind of a swearword on this forum . if u cant find a another tank a 20l bucket with a filter in it is better than a small fishbowl

u get this sort of problem in all retail situations in my veiw while i have encountered some of this in lfs's its all relative it only takes a trip down to ur local pak and save to put it into perspective

i tend to have dreams where something is going wrong with my fishtanks like a leak or something and i have to save the fish but theres nothing i can do

ive got two 100W MH fitting tht im going to try on my 3 ft its not so much for the plants as they already grow well under 4 20w t8s but more to get the glitter lines happening on the bottom sand
