  1. oh well even if it works out dearer than straight electricity i guess u cant beat instant hot water and mains pressure showers! :bounce: there is wallmounted electronic temperature controls in every room that has hot wat so u can adjust the temperature there hopefully it goes right down to 26c lol then i can connect the python directly to the kitchen tap . i cant really complain a the house is so sweet , no bond or anething and only $400 a week its a huge step in the right direction from what we live in now
  2. hi all we are moving into a nice 6brm house from our dingy 3brm art deco flat, we have some questions about gas. the house is heated by a gas fire the hotwater is gas heated and the kitchen has gas hobbs . the system runs off two big gas bottles outside(45lbers). ane idea how much gas we would go thru there will be 4 or 5 adults in the house so say 8 showers a day and the fire wouldnt really be on much as the house is warm. i just no idea wat sort of price the gas bottles are or how many we would be likely to go thru in a month. that aside the house has 2ha of land with a small stream running thru it (have to investigate for signs of life, its rural yet only 5 mins to town we are so happy with it
  3. try medway road on the way into the hamner township

  7. i noticed 1 of mine doin this 2day never seen it before its fine now tho
  8. im moving to a new house soon its kind of near the groynes there is a small stream in there u could come and have a look in there with me
  9. they are probably meaning slower so there is more contact time 1500lph will be sweet the water mite get less contact time each time it passes thru the filter but it will pass thru the filter more often so no loss
  10. the smallest corie u can find - some kind of dwarf variety
  11. java moss isnt that bad really with lots of light and fert etc it will grow fast but in coldwater with low light its slow growing and u can tye more cotton around it to train it along your driftwood if it grows too much for your liking just rip some off it out , the koura shouldnt pull it ot as it doesnt have roots and doesnt grow in gravel on the bottom it attaches itself to rocks or wood and grows fine with java fern which does the same. shrimp should be fine to cycle the tank however they are very sensitive to nitrates so it may be better to use ordinary fish food and some established filter media to seed your filter that way you could have the filter running in a bucket while u set ur tank up
  12. java moss and fern tyed to the driftwood with black cotton it dosent mind low lite and will eventually stick to the driftwood really good if u post in trade and exchange im sure some1 will just give u some i would cept i have hardly ane at the moment (gave heaps away already)
  13. yes stella is right about dechlorinators down her in christchurch we dont have chlorine in our water despite what some pet shops will tell u . remeber to place ur tank away from heat sources in your house(eg windows , fireplace or heater). natives biggest enenmy is heat . i have shrimps in with my goldfish so they should be fine in there as long as there are plenty of places to hide (think piles of 3-6cm rocks in the corners and some bog wood with sand (riversand availible at oderings $6 a huge bag) in the middle. i would go with a 2ft single tube, (u mite be able to pick up a cheap 1 on tradme) this will give u bright enuff light for veiwing but also leave some dark patches in case they are shy of the light , ane more light and i think u would never see the livestock as it would be hiding all the time! shrimps can be found in most streams and rivers around here use a net and scoop it thru the oxy weed as for koura im not sure where to find them

    molly genetics

    yep ur first on the list but i will have to covert them to freshwater as they are in brackish atm but lol at least brineshrimp are easy then i put them in the floating breeder thing and they hatch so the babies should grow quite fast
  15. the blindness is serious issue it can only take minutes some big factories use 3kw 1s in pipe work to sterilise water, im quite interested in this thread without buying on ebay where would u buy 5mm UV leds ? also do they put out ane visible light at all?
  16. ur welcome to put them in my guppy tank if u want its n ot planted yet but has plants in pots so will be easy to catch later on
  17. my mollies have just been born the mum is a pure black lyretail and the dad an orange neon sailfin there is about 15 babies . wat i want to know is will they have both the lyretail and the sailfin? im already pretty sure of the colour as the black pigment is really obvious on them its a bit patchy so im guessing in between will be the dads colour

    guppy record

  19. rampo noir delighyfully sick movie made by 4 different japanese directors with 1 actor in common(its 4 short films 2gether) the common theme is how love can make u delusional and disturbed
  20. thats cool i will post on TT as well
  21. hmm it was definatly grown submerged tho as it was in a pond. so we can say its just some kinda of saggiteria mite grow it to a better condition in my tank. ane 1 want ane i still have heaps
  22. this is the pic on the net i could find that was closest to it (still havent managed to take photo) this is off a german site says its sag. subulata like u suggested however all of the other photos of it on other sites were the dwarf sag i was familar with note the peculiar teaspoon leaves
  23. are u going to use peat? if so why not put it in the substrate as well?
  24. they are submerged pretty sure they have 3 veins im not sure wat u mean bout cell structure, they look exactly like my dwarf sag except bigger and with the weird shaped leaves and if they arent a bio security risk i have a bucket full
