yes it's that tank Olly - is that yours? WHere did you get it from and was it expensive?

I saw a thread a month back (can't remember which category it was under) and the tank had dark red gravel which struck me as awesome especially since it was pH neutral, who's tank was that and where did you get the substrate from and how much was it? And people who have dark substrate - is it easy to maintain? (since you don't see the gunk build-up) I'm thinking that a planted 200L tank with red gravel would make my Blushing Angels stand out more, but would black substrate be better? If anyone in Wgtn has got black/dark red substrate could you let me know where from?

couple... dude: Dave age: 23 chick: Amy (I'm the one into fish and he's the one who pays for them ) age: 20 (soon to be 21)

Animalz had a cute little arowana in over the Xmas break...was so tempted!

that's so much more appealing now! And as for the chem 101 without the burning and smashing...with me who knows what will happen :roll: ....going to track down HaNs now

high phosphate's a sign of over feeding too isn't it? and not enough waterchanges?

I sold my 18 cardinals to JimR for $80 he got a good deal and my cardinals got a good home - fair trade! I thought they were taking the main focus away from my Discus (because they do move around faster and more interesting) so had to find them a new home. Hope you quarantine them for a lengthy time BTW - have found the container of Tubiflex PM me your address so I can send it up

the pH of my tank is usually 6.8 - is that considered hard for Java fern? 'Cos I can chuck in a few teabags to lower the pH more if that's what it requires to grow better. PMDD - is that a type of fertilizer? Is it reasonably priced?

I wonder how that works

have no more of this (THANK GOD - touch wood ) I ended up clipping off a few leaves 'cos it got quite thick and with the addition of my SAEs it's hardly noticeable needless to say I have BIG FAT SAEs now

no tank anymore Luke turning my spare tank into an Angel setup...I have to admit your White Butterfly is intense in colour!

dam WAAAAAAAAAAy too poor to buy any guess i'll wait for Chin or Vincent to start breeding them :roll:

yeah it does look suspiciously alike...

I only chuck carbon in when I've finished dosing my tank with Prazi but otherwise there's no point

Yeah I'm hoping to not have to get into legalities

Finally swimming normal again after two days of epsom salt treatment :bounce: :bounce: thanks for everyone's advice and help!

good to know the brand is of good quality...will let everyone know how it goes with the new canister in a few months' time

So I would be entitled for them to pay for my Midori's operation? I haven't talked to them yet and I know for a fact that the sales assistant no longer works there - if I'm to approach the shop who would have the authority to deal with this?

you WANT that stuff?? I've scrubed like mad to get it off my driftwood and Anubias!

I'm trying to find my purchasing contract so I can be certain that I didn't sign for a disclaimer, but Midori is a mongrel she's not a pedigree...what I don't get is why they never told me when we were going through the adoption process even the sales assistant laughed at how Midori quacked like a duck. I bought Midori from the Lower Hutt store though Phoenix

OK - convinced just from comparing this to those around and these tough recession times lol (me over spending on new season boots) I think I'll have to convince Dave to buy this for me as part of my 21st prezzie

not a proper breeder - maybe a backyard breeder

oh man....lol dam

hmmmmmmmm :-? I'm so tempted just because it comes with everything to use and even if it throws a spaz in a few years time it would be money quite well spent still...I asked in the Q section and they say they've got parts but that's my concern too Looking at getting this for my main Discus tank and swapping my Jebo 819 onto my new 200L tank for my Angels. Kiwiplymouth - how long have you had yours for and is it quite easy to maintenence?

lol patience is not one of my virtues...it's taken 2-3months for them to grow back after being scolded
