Those fish look amazing!.........
-
Thanks Ian. I don't think I explained myself very well! I take the waste from one tank and chuck it into the one I am cycling. Had never done it before but it worked ok.
-
I Work out near the Airport as a freightforwarder. For those that aren't sure what that is, I arrange the import/export and customs clearance for companies importing and exporting goods.
-
I Cycled my most recent tank a little differently. Whenever I completed a water change from the aquarium with my plec, I would add the removed water to the tank I was cycling (Mr. Plec, affectionately known as Spot, tends to generate more waste than I do!) The water had all of Spots waste and seemed to work well. Has anyone else tried doing it this way?
-
I use JBL Balls and find they work brilliantly.

Ressies won 4-1 today, woohooo!!!! don't mean to pollute the forum! If anyone has any association to the club speak up!

Hi Henward, I made the mistake of putting some Borneos with my angels when I first started fishkeeping I think they are beautiful fish, but unfortunately cannot keep any until I increase the decor! Would love to see some photos!
-
And where do you get these plants? I only ever see the more common ones on trademe and the lfs.
-
Good way of putting it, I wish I could afford to eat all day
-
OK - They must be eating something as some of them are laying little baby turds
-
I Guess they could be eating the worms with me just not noticing! (But as they are the first successful hatchings I have been spending far to much time watching them!) On a slightly different note, Angels make such good parents! sucking them up and spittin them out if they stray to far from the herd.

Hi All, I have some angelfish fry 1 week and 1 day old! I have been feeding them Liquifry and have some microworms (Thanks again Barry). The microworms are a tab to big for them to eat at the moment and I haven't seen them eating anything from the liquifry. Can anybody suggest/point me in the right direction on some food for young angelfish fry that are to small to chow down on micro's!!
-
HEHE. The only live food they get is there own eggs! Can just picture them coming out then going back in again, then being respawned.
-
A Guess! Its only the 5th spawn, but her belly has always been the same size beforehand and it has been 12 days between the 1st 4. They always eat them though
-
Just wanted to say a huge thanks to Barrie for all his help this evening! Got home and my Angels had spawned!!! 2 days early!!!!
-
Hi All, I would like to start culturing some microworm, I have seen how to do this etc, what my question is... Is there anywhere in West Auckland that I can get some of these microworms to start my culture?
-
Hi Guys, Before I advertise on trademe... Does anyone know of someone looking for a place to stay in Glen Eden? 1 room available in a 3 bedroom stand alone house O/S parking to share with 3 others (all working) NZ$140.00 per week for everything except food. We have internet, Sky TV etc etc.
-
So T5 lighting should suffice? I worry that I won't get enough light to grow all the plants I want to. The plan is to get CO2 injection in the future, a proper planted setup ie laterite - possibly undergravel heating (if this is neccessary in NZ). Just don't want to hamstring myself on the lights. If I was to get 4 T5 lights, It would probably work out at about the same as metal halides?
-
Awesome! Next question - I like the sound of the Halides, and have also read nothing but good things regarding them. Would I be right in assuming that they would be better than T5's? Whereabouts would I find the reflector thingies for them?
-
What are metal halide lights? I know the difference between T5 & T8 Bulbs but thats about all. Also - Can anybody suggest good lighting for a 120 x 60 x 60 planted tank? and where I can purchase.
-
Hi Ducati, I could be completely off-target with this (I'm a fnzas newb) but the benefits of a canister filter are: They are out of sight. Can more often than not maintain a larger aquarium than other filters. You have a lot of control as to how you want the filter to work/what you want it to do etc with the different things you put in the canister. (Chemical, Physical & Biological).
-
Will Do! Thanks for the help! Really got a lil worried last night when I noticed as everything had been going just right and I hadnt changed anything.
-
I replaced 1 tube about 3 weeks ago and the other about 1 month before that. I am wondering if there are to many nutrients in the tank?
-
There is great water circulation in the tank, but I will definately change the water more frequently. At present, I change about 1/4 every week. Will more water changes stop that nasty algae?
-
Hi, Last night I noticed a couple of spots in my aquarium where a horrible blue-grey, threadlike algae has started growing. I have had this in the past and it was a nightmare - overran the whole tank and I had to start from scratch. I was hoping someone could advise a nice looking, fast growing plant that I could plant to help prevent this? I have cabomba, but everything else is relatively slow growing.
