I had some fishing line and threw it away I'll see if I can source some more, otherwise I'll give the razor blade option a go. Thanks for the help everyone
-
If I was to knock it gently at the seam, would the glass loosen to come away in one part or will smashing it be the only answer? I can't completely empty the tank as it still contains fish so acetic acid is not an option unfortunately.
-
I have a small corner of my tank that's been partitioned off, that I now what to remove. The silicon is very thin so I can't get my box cutter knife between the sections. Is there any way to easily remove the silicon other than by cutting it?
-
I haven't seen that show but that is amazing. Still, I'd be worried about smacking my head on it every time I get out of bed. @ Amtiskaw - where are the fish?

I'm happy to offer the stud services of my Dull-eyed Royal, though it would be a loan and local only as I don't want to ship. But agree it would be nice to keep stock plentiful in NZ if we can. Or studette services, I'm not sure how to tell the sex.

I love to see unusual tank set ups, found this one on FB:
-
I want to paint some rocks white to use in one of my tanks. I did a search of the site and it seems basic household paint is safe to use in the tank. Can anyone please clarify what type of household paint as I want to be sure Im not putting anything toxic in the water.

Indeed, I'm sure he departed the tank at least 3 times in that clip
-
Everyone's a comedian :roll: OK, so no special treatment is needed to clean if collected from the beach - thanks all.
-
What is the best method to clean them to ensure they're safe to use in the tank?
-
I tried my Royal on broccoli after reading that BNs will eat it and he loved it - though it took him probably 2 days to get through it and the clowns were a big help to devour it too. I think it's best to feed fresh vegies minimum of once a week.
-
I'm still waiting to hear back from the seller - I have asked for a replacement impeller to be sent as the filter is brand new.
-
I think I've found the problem, I'm sure the impeller shaft is not meant to be in two pieces:

Most evenings after work I'm home late so have dinner then go to bed so the heater isn't on long, or it hasn't been particularly cold so I don't need it on a high setting.

1x 240 litre 1x 180 litre 1x 60 litre 1x 40 litre 1x 20 litre 1x 100 litre (not heated) Power bill is less than $100 - though last month was $130 as I had the heater on full bore over a weekend last month as it was particularly cold - so that's where my power goes, blasted electric heater.
-
I assume white silica sand would be the same problem?
-
The chest will be sturdy enough, it's the tank spilling over the sides I'm concerned about. The tank will probably be about 180 litres so maybe I should find a tank to fit the chest exactly with that weight?
-
Awww, cute kitty! I have a tabby too - they have the best personalities :thup:
-
Yes but we call them "chocks" in New Zealand - as in "chockon"
-
I have a chest I'm going to use to place a tank on top. Would it be a problem if the tank was a little bigger than the chest?
-
I shouldn't have to faff about with a new filter anyway (even though I did and it's still noisy) - so it's going back.
-
Thanks Smidey I think for argument's sake I'll just round it up to 250 litres and leave it at that
-
gee thanks.
-
I have an odd shaped corner tank, and my son, being a whiz with maths - worked out it's measurements as 0.243m3 or 243148.422cm3 - what is that in litres?
-
I don't think it's the impeller, it seems to be the motor itself which is very loud.
