Can you have the old filters on the new tank for the first week or 2? When we set up a new tank we take one of the filters off another tank (most of out tanks have 2 filters) and put that in the new one for the first week. This allows the tank to be fitlered (not fully) by the old one and gives the new filter a kick start because it does not have to work as hard

We got around that by putting a thicker layer of gravel in now they can not fut up the back. As for the sides it has not got any alge or anything so I guess we are lucky there

How old is she? She might just be getting old and blind. I have a bule male that has cloudy eyes but seem fine other than the fact that he cant see anything and swims in to other fish and things

That is a nice area. It is close to J'ville and it is nice and easy to get to town from there

What part of town are you looking at?

You are best to have 6 peices for a real tank (assuming you want it to have a lid )

That is easy. Any normal person that is lucky enought to not live there doesnt like it

You should not ask this as if the landlord gives you contact details they are breaching the privacy act and your power usage will be totally different. They could have been using fan heaters to heat the house 24/7. You might be put off by a huge power bill when yours may be very different. One problem with this is if your name is not on the list the other people can evict you with no notice! I have been evicted before with 20 min notice because my name was not on the lease. And if you have a disagrement with the other people and their name is on the lease too you have no way of getting rid of them I would say: 1) Check for mould/damp carpet. 2) ask if you are aloud your tanks (some people don’t like them because they might pop). 3) Defiantly ask about having other flatmates even if you don’t intend to get them now you might in the future. 4) Check water pressure (Shower is the big one there is nothing like having a shower and not needing a towel after you have finished) 5) As Bronze said "Head tenant". If you do get flat mates they do not sing the lease and you can evict without reason and notice if they do something stupid or you just realise you don’t like them. 6) Ask what parking is available e.g. on street some areas have to pay for resident parking. 7) Look for bus stops in the area 8) Don’t be too pushy with the landlord till you have signed the paper e.g. when will this be fixed... do it NOW... hurry up... 9) Look at the flat more than once. It is good to look on a sunny day and a wet/dark day to see if it nice and warm on a good day and make sure there are not drafts and leaks on a bad day

Was the yellow text there before? Sorry I did not see it

I would suggest putting the food on the top shelf so the little one can not reach them

How are you going to be able to pay rent now? :lol:

get a something like adawear and run that to see if there is somethign hiding in the background that is blocking it. It is always good to have more than one virus/spywear protection on you pc incase one of them misses something www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php

Do you still have the 404's? I am looking for some parts

it is not the same

What length are you needing? Have you tried http://lightbulbman.co.nz/?action=produ ... gory=10245 he might be able to post them to you

I don’t have a lot of experience with substrates as I just use gravel and let the fish do the rest. I would however recommend that you don’t use potting mix because it has added fertilisers that your fish might not like. I have found that with a nice thick layer of gravel and fish doing what fish do best. they produce some of the best fertiliser you can get

Plants from his the tank :lol:

phoenix: how much to buy that display model?

How long did you get off work? Hopefully the holiday was worth the pain

Most of your birds are bigger than normal cats I think that Zazu sould be able to hunt and catch most of the local cats

It would be interesting to see the 2 of you living together but I dont think that Treo would be happy having to put up with rusty all the time so I would be happy to look after him for you Phoenix when do these people move in?

Bronze will bring up her steelcaps if you need them note: not just joking

The flat looks nice and I like having a clean crisp line for the edges. I know that sounds strange but I like the corners on tanks. I think they make them look bigger for some reasion

Palmy or if i dont want to drive I see the girls at Johnsonville thay are good too

That is why I drive for over an hour to get to what I call my LFS. It is a bit of a drive but it is worth it to deal nice helpful people that are more concerned with service than sales (And I get to play with birds and rats when I go there )
