  1. I finally made up my mind to redo my tank - I am just curious what else I can plant? is there any aquatic plan like the marigold I can plant in the foreground?
  2. Insect Direct - that's my favorite too !!!
  3. mission completed - tried pain scraper and finally used the knife to finish it off i am soooooo happy !!! stupid filter box
  4. what's the best way to rinse the gravels?? any shortcuts??
  5. i see - I will need to grab a bottle of excel first... hehe
  6. oh.. oops.. sorry I will try a paint scraper !
  7. i bought some liquid fertiliser from trademe... it's growing ok.. just all those block dots on the older leaves (all the newly grown leaves are fine)
  8. same here - but i am still keen to get more shrimp again.. they are pretty good fun to watch !
  9. I am not too sure what's going on and have no idea how to describe it either (see my photo ) Can anyone please shed some light? http://picasaweb.google.com/piggyvir/Pl ... 6645073282
  10. i want to do it to my rio 300.. it's really annoying that the filter box is attached to the tank.. i don't mind about warranty that much... hey ! do you still have that knife you used to remove the box? Can I borrow it off you?????
  11. I really want to remove the internal filter box.. any quick way to do this???
  12. me too - i have been thinking of getting this from trademe = http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Pe ... 020797.htm how does this compare with the HFF one?
  13. well.. it won't be very heavily planted i guess.. first time trying to do aqua scaping... http://www.aquascapingworld.com/forum/g ... capes.html well I don't think my tank will ever look at that.. but some background tall plants and some hair grass...
  14. I am going to upgrade my freshwater tank and I am just wondering whether it worths the extra dollars (well a lot of $$$$) to get Seachem Black sand? Or will the normal fine black sand do job? Alternatively, should I get half normal black sand and top with Seachem Black sand? Thanks !
  15. omg !! I wish mine will grow as if there's no tomorrow !!!!! they have been like this for over a year and just wouldn't grow taller :( :(
  16. it's 130 litres. 2 more dead today.. oh well ... Here are the photos
  17. I have around 20 fishes and a few guppy babies. I got aqua clear 70 filter before and now I am on the 30...... Too big or to little?
  18. 0.25 for the ammonia, the tank has been cycled for a month before adding the fish....
  19. Tested the water, zero nitrite and nitrate, and slightly high on ammonia... However, it does look like it may be a positive correlation between aqua fun day and fish death...... I will take a pic of tank tomorrow, 130 L only
  20. Sigh....I never have any luck with animates so far .... How's your tank going?
  21. Any idea? I bought all of them from the animates aqua fun day ( half price!) and they pretty much all died after 3 weeks in the tank...... No problem with water condition all... Any idea why?? I am soooooooo sad...picking up fish body every day after work is depressing.....
  22. They are growing towards the back and left hand side where natural light comes in... I have now blocked the light and see how it goes.
  23. I have called this place - http://www.wises.co.nz/p/pressure-check ... ting/nzf5/ before and it costs around $200.00 for the cylinder (3kg) and $10.00 to refill... perhaps you can bring in your cylinder to that place to do a pressure check?!
  24. I have 2 tanks - Juwel Rio300 and HFF custom made tank What's your budget?
