  1. hey ira

    go down montgomery cres and go to the electrical shop on right next to switched on gardener and speak with them as they have lots of goodies in there and good advice

  2. tamboe,its a good idea to put your location in your profile as people can assist you better,your in aus where?great barrier reef and you have access to more live stock,

    the guys here can point you to some good shops as well and as the guys will tell you,

    build a plan and have lots of patience and buy the best you can and that will be your reward,

    don't do it cheap as it will cost you more in the long term

    the guys will help you avoid the mistakes if you listen to what they say

    as they have good advice and have made the mistakes themselves

  3. booger try using it as a bio only with just the balls and no filter wool and use a air sponge filter in your tank

    sounds like you have a good amount of stock in your tank and your tank is prob a 200l 4ft and the 2212 is rated 100L up 200L

    you may want to top up the media

    :wink:

  4. hey pies

    how is chris downs

    he's an awesome dude,worked with him years back at southwards and was probably one of the best to work with,always had time to chat and very pleasant all round guy and always adding more tanks lol

    kev

  5. hopefully that server will not disappear on me

    also got some horseface loaches coming if we can catch them,man they are fast and just crash into the gravel and disappear,very cool to watch,

    think i will take pic before they go into the tank lol

    :lol:

  6. hey NPnewbie sounds like a very cool and safe tank

    the advantage of corner and L tanks they hold alot of water and look great too :lol:

    10 mm glass is approx 360 a square metre so there's alot of glass there and being a triangle it would be very strong as triangles are the strongest shape in engineering,

    so how much is the tank costing from them if ya don't mind me asking

  7. Steve took some good pics of my tank, just got to get then reduced in size.

    Need a new photo shop program as my one wont run on XP and steves photos are to large for the board.

    But I am working on it

    in xp all you need to do is right click on pic and resize has custom option too

  8. i agree with interfecus but do not put another male with them as he will only eat them and take the female away also if you have not already,

    the eggs on the bottom will hatch with meth blue being used,you can give the eggs on the bottom a gentle stir to help them against fugus.

    good luck

    ps try not to disturb the nest :wink:

  9. lol no they are different

    Plate Glass

    Used in the past to produce higher quality glass, this technology was completely outperformed by the float glass process

    Float Glass

    A term for perfectly flat, clear glass (basic product). The term "float" glass derives from the production method, introduced in the UK by Sir Alastair Pilkington in the late 1950's, by which 90% of today's flat glass is manufactured.

    ok here's the site for ya

    http://www.glassonweb.com

    so any way thats why i was wondering which you used to calculate as 8mm plate is very strong,i.e. no wobbles in it unlike float glass

  10. if you run your braces correctlly you should not have any problems at all,

    ie run bracing 50mm strips around the inside top of tank and then your cross braces,three across at 500mm spacing should do it nicely,if your not sure,just go and look at some tanks in the shops and you will be able to see for your self how to do yours.

    hope this helps you out
