  1. It was that and the green fish line that gave it away. Could you possibly take a very close up shot of the 'leaf' structure of the moss? i have a suspicious feeling about something.... PMDD is probably cheaper to buy from hans than to run around sourcing the trace elements your self.
  2. you buy PMDD from HaNs... that moss... looks vaguely familiar
  3. can't make it! i have my grad ceremony on the 10th of April.
  4. http://www.stuff.co.nz/manawatu-standar ... -Bird-Show Any one wanna come? I haven't been to something like this before... Sunday 28 March
  5. Thanks! I like 1 and 3. not 2. Ill be happy to give someone a pot of congo fern and some moss - submersed and healthy - in trade for one of those pieces of wood. 1 would be my pref.
  6. oh phew. that's good to hear. I agree with what jenH has said so far.
  7. if you don't take it I might be keen!
  8. are the fish ok? they do not look like their fins are fraying or eyes damaged etc?
  9. probably not. I've got a tiny amount in my puffer tank caused by the high lighting.. I use a very very diluted amount of hydrogen peroxide to keep it in check and it works really well.
  10. That's exactly why I said no.
  11. and they were not missing eyes as tadpoles? cause tadpoles are a ravenous bunch of beings.
  12. those are not royals. don't know what they are really... royals are the other ones... not the reds, or the lancelotas, or the filaentosas.. the other ones.
  13. results speak for them selves? look at evil's glosso! Hundred bucks to the person that grows it like that under 2x 6500K energy savers.
  14. plants use CO2 during the day - when they make use of light to photosynthesise... O2 is produced by the plants. At night, the reaction reverses and plants take in O2 and release CO2, so CO2 injection is not needed at night. The process is more complicated than just an on and off switch but if you let CO2 into your tank an hour after the lights go off, or ten for that matter- it won't be the end of the world.
  15. I wouldn't do it. 45L tanks are a million times harder to look after than say 200L tanks. Especially with salt-water systems. I had a 300 odd L reef ages ago, and in order to do less maintenance I added a 150 odd Litre sump. also with 3-4 kg of live coral the amount of water in the tank will have reduced by another 3L or so, at the very least. and as a proportion of the total amount of water in the system 10% of huge!
  16. I'm-a-send you a consumer sucker sticker in the mail
  17. Test your nitrates get a fish that eats it off. royal whiptails love that stuff. i fed some to my whiptail last night. he left the pleco tab and scraped the algae off instead.
  18. something like that yeah. you can use a normal digi timer ($18 or so from the warehouse) or the normal dial type timers to control the duration of CO2. It is not necessary to have the lights and CO2 on the same circuit, the difference in timing would have a negligible effect on the plants.
  19. and a sprinkle of consumer sucker-ism as well!
