You could use lily pipes or a submerged spray bar to lessen the flow but in a planted tank, the movement of leaves helps to stop algae growth.

Of course a good fish keeper would have a suitable sized tank for the future but keeping a batch of ANY fry in a tank intended for adult sized fish will result in the fry getting lost and unable to find food.

It's all relative to the fish, a 45x25x25 would be cruel for an oscar yes, not to a batch of day old oscar fry however. And fish such as Bettas are much happier in smaller tanks IME.

Ah yes my mistake :oops: Do they work as well as traditional lids?

Cross breeding dogs and cats is controversial too, but fish are worse as usually they are of different species not just different variants of the same species as with cats and dogs. Look at Jaxxnz's history of fish keeping too, it's appalling.

Why only a single piece lid??

I can just see those lids breaking, lids always break Looking good dude, keen to see results.

Nice, it looks tidy! Now just chuck it on 20" chrome spinners, give it a big bore exhaust and a ridiculously oversized wing on the back and you're pimpin' 8)

Less than 1500l/h, that's hardly ridiculous Joe

Here's some first hand experience for you. About a year ago I bought a 50cc moped to travel to and from work, started off wearing a heavy leather jacket, helmet and gloves. Bought a proper motorcycle jacket after a while but wearing shorts to work was just easier. All was going well, $8 or less to fill up, zips through the traffic and a lot of fun to drive up and down Great South Road. But then one drizzly grey Sunday on the way to a morning shift, I didn't see a pedestrian crossing the road and he didn't see me either. He gave me quite a fright so I applied the breaks a little harder than I should have and I locked up and slid off. I didn't realise I hit my head and picked up my bike. Next thing I know I somehow made it to work with no recollection of the whole ride to work. When I went to sign in I was in no fit state to stand, let alone work. So they rushed me down to EC and I couldn't even fill out and ACC form. I spent the next 7.5hrs in emergency care and can only remember small parts and the last hour of my stay, thankfully cause it was very painful to even move. Not a pleasant way to spend a Sunday and the bike got scratched as and had steering slack. I got away with a concussion and some pretty small patches of road rash which had to be bandaged for more than a fortnight and attended to for much longer. I now get headaches almost daily and have scars that will probably never go away. Not to mention a $140 pair of leather chucks I completely ruined. My point is, accidents happen far more often on 2 wheels than they do on 4 and when they do happen they WILL be far worse. A moped is fun and cheap for a while but sooner or later you will get a car for various reasons. Just be very safe and do anything you can to keep yourself protected.

Oh lord

What are you after? I scored a 1994 Lancer GLXI in really good condition, two owners 140k on the clock for under $2.5k 8)

I've seen Goldfish in an aquarium with clownfish :sage:

And it failed, so here's an alternative to buying a big bottle which would run you up $300+ alone.

Sodastream bottle, adapter from any home brew shop, regulator with solenoid, diffuser, sussed for under $200 and refills are $10-$15 at Farmers or similar.

I quite like it! Is there much flow in the tank?

How does this make you feel?

Quick video of the tank as of this afternoon. Sadly due to losses I'm down to just the male BN, two adult female guppies, four neons and LOTS of fry.

Assembling some footage of my 4ft tank

Looks like there's no water in that tank :lol:

Great idea coming to the forum for advice, so many times we bought plants from a pet store that died soon after. Only a couple of times have I bought true aquatic plants until I learned more about plants. Now I only trade or buy new plants from forum members or buy plants I know are going to grow from the store. Not many staff seem to know about plants sadly.

Thinking of scraping my big tank for a cascading plant farm. Tempting but expensive..

Skids up on Mars anyone?
