can I get my magazine this time pretty please?

I'd offer to sit in the tank...... I cant work what type of sand that is.. as in the size. will the fish be able to throw it all around the place? does it settle quick? it looks real natural though!

Rusty is very upset at all of you for insinuating he has too many toys. he has toys and they rotate. they're not all in his face :lol:

yes that is his full name hahaha. but but but he has ALLL the toys in the pet shop! he humped his puppy like any thing this morning. it was crazy. maybe ill see if i can get him more toys. then he will have to paly with all of them and go mad choosing. (he even has duplicate toys now) spoilt bird,

darn cockatoos :oops: I wanted a cockatoo.

:bounce: so its safe for rusty ruu? but what about the behavioural side of things? isnt shredding paper a sign of frustration or something? he has a stuffed toy he can vent his frustration on but NOooooooo.

ok so... Rusty LOVES ripping up newspapers. I dont like him doing it, but he loves it and he is kept on pretty short leash for most things but im inclined to let him tear his paper if he likes it so much. thing is, is it safe? all that ink - its no longer lead based is it? he even rolls around in it.

someone found babies. put them back. parents killed them then someone stole the babies. i put them back. parents killed them. I tried stealing a baby - mother cockatoo beat the living daylights out of me serves me right. was such a high thin tree too. i found some more babies attacked by a cat.. this time i just nature run its course cause all the parents wanted to do was seem to want to kill the babies hey by cat food- did you mean like jelly meat? that should be ok ish. but definitely not watered down pellets- which is what i previously thought you meant/

i didn't realise lots of people said or knew that only said it cause ive seen lots of birds leave chicks if humans touch them, and in some cases they even killed them

you cant put it back now that you have touched it. even if its mother does find it - she won't accept it back. feed em worms or something, but if you really run out of ideas, get some kaytee baby formula for birds (hand rearing mix) but be warned - i doubt you can train them to shut up hahahaha. oh. feed once an hour, every hour. maybe if you're lucky you wont have to get up at 3am, to feed it. 5am will suffuce. then you have to feed it every hour again. dont feed it catfood- that is only for older birds that have plucked them selves and feathers are not growing back.

seriously sam. the MH's are too powerful. :lol: 150W MH will do well on a tank the size of an AR 620.

and did i hear you right? did you want to put MH's on a 27L tank?

I'm sure she wil be back real soon! Don't you worry about her.

How much are you looking at spending?

shucks :oops: thanks. I really do want more dems but I must show restraint and not just get them on a whim! :lol:

like this?

he / she is just a zebra of some sort.

yeah that'll go down well! hahahaha :lol: alternatively, just mix the chems... don't stress about volumes, concentrations, amounts in moles etc etc... and in general d0n't complicate things. just add a little bit at a time and slowly increase the dose rate until you are happy with the results or your plants keep sustaining normal growth 8) 8) :lol:

it may or may not be genetic but i sure don't want their mongrel kids to be in the same vicinity as mine some day!

well if sam's school has a chem department, im sure they wont mind him weighing out the right amount. :lol:

call them peruvian altums. the rest of the country does :lol:

EVERYONE has it in them to kill another living creature. its just there are some that need a lower stimulus to perform the deed. you can blame it on genetics, childhood (or the lack of it), violent video games....whatever. its still wrong. and the idiots that killed those birds need to be taught a really nasty lesson in life. I too played GTA VC and other such "violent" video games. Fact remains where are the parents? why can they not pick up on sociopathic behaviour? where were they when the kids were growing up? castrate them and the kids. end of problems.

nice tanks guys! I was not allowed to enter the competition

no all drops are not the same. wait as i recalculate. .... ...... ............ ................. lets assume 1 drop = 50uL (micro litres) = [0.05mL] thus 1mL = 1/.05 = 20 drops. so yes vinson 1mL = 20 drops. :lol: I lied before, or used a bigger drop. but that depends on the size of drop, metric drops are 50uL and some others can range from 50uL to 99uL. important thing to remember is not the size of the drop, but more importantly the concentration of the solution.

me thinks she should meet silly rusty sometime
