David just adds the fish to water and presto! Eggs! Easy as

No its outdated because I use it at work and its makes everything more complicated then it has to be. And it still doesn't have certain functions that I find useful even after its many upgrades. I've spent lots of time having to look up how to do certain things because its either illogical to figure it out quickly yourself or it can't do it at all. After how many years did they FINALLY make it possible to NOT store email on a computer?

I saw clear hoses that are both thicker (less flimsy) and also ones reinforced with fiber/wire mesh at Bunnings. I think that a pump will probably be the way you have to go in order to siphon upwards. How about if you arrange your tanks like this (A) instead? You would need a bit more depth but it would be very accessible. Each of the 5 shelves could fit 3 levels of tank giving you a total of 15 and using the same amount of length as you have in B.

I think it would only be a matter of time before you threw your back out or got tennis elbow cleaning this number of tanks of with buckets... Any chance you can reach a drain/window/faucet with a longer hose (like a python)?

Thats great That email addy is really professional. Well if ihug keeps giving you trouble, just PM me if you are interested in how to load all your business accounts onto gmail and I can help explain further.

Yeah, but if Barrie is really annoyed with how frequently his current provider is failing him and his business, we can recommend something with a better track record and functionality so he minimizes these problems in the future. This is the problem I am referring to. Once you go home and try to re-read those emails you will not have acces to them, they are trapped at work. Outlook is outdated for this reason and incredibly frustrating. Using web-based mail eliminated the need for an extra program and its associated hassle.

Make sure you don't overdo it on the photoperiod though. 12 hours and you might grow lots of green spot algae.

I personally don't respect/take seriously companies that use accounts like xtra.co.nz or ihug.co.nz for their business any MORE then i would respect gmail or hotmail. I would highly recommend you buy a domain for your company. It is a sound and professional investment. Eg. you could be [email protected] (or whatever your company/website is). It is not too expensive, and the beautiful thing is that you can then link your domain name into gmail, thus all you email will be sent and received from a web-based email service like gmail (if that is the one you chose). So instead of people getting business emails from you from [email protected] it would arrive from [email protected] but you would be accessing it right through gmail. This is what my partner does for both his companies.

So just to clarify, the ihug is not working but internet is? Maybe its a server issue. I avoid internet provider emails like the plague and just use Gmail. Never had any problems with it and never get junkmail and never miss anyone's legit email because it went to junkmail. Plus emails are stored online so i can access them from anywhere in the world (unlike Outlook)...not sure if you can do this with ihug. Plus its fast and very user-logical.

Wow! Really cool vid and pics Thanks for sharing :bounce:

Fireworks?

Do you mean this website? http://www.powerswitch.co.nz We are taking into consideration what it spits out as well

That sounds pretty interesting...I'll check em out!

Yeah...they refuse to admit any fault. Basically they send us the bill really late (like 3 days before its due) and we can't pay it in time because we are flatting (have to organize everyone) and get charged late fees. Sure, I could collect an estimate amount from the flatmates ahead of time, but its the principle of the useless service they are providing. My bf uses Contact at his work and the bill always arrives 2 weeks ahead of time and its never paid late, but they don't take that into consideration. They have been sending us 3 letters a week the last couple of months reminding us to pay the outstanding late fees but yet the next bill still arrives late. :evil: What a waste of paper... We will be settling the outstanding amount, but that'll be the last money they get from us... and we will be closing both accounts. I have heard good things about Meridian and NOVA, so that is what I am aiming for at this stage. I don't expect to save heaps of money or anything, but maybe find a more suitable plan with actual monthly meter readings, not just estimates...grrrrr

Yes phenotypic plasticity is increadibly strong in numerous fish species... I worked on a huge project in uni looking at the diversion of a Stickleback's morphology into benthic and pelagic forms, including measuring gill rackers, body morphometrics, etc. I haven't read the article really thoroughly but I image they were looking at a specific set of genes during the study to make a statement like that.

Ok so we are really annoyed with Contact Energy over an ongoing dispute and will be researching/shopping for a new company to take over this weekend. Please give us your recommendations for who we should go with so this is as painless as possible! I don't know our current rate (b/c the bills are at home) but will be aiming to get something cheaper if possible...

Yay! :bounce:

Well done

You've been bamboozled! Anyways, the BNs look great! Great work!

You know it! :lol:

The frog didn't specify that in its will
