oO SKIPPY Oo

Thanks for the reply Caryl.

I heard there is potentially going to be a change to the FNZAS and the removal of the clubs - apparently there was some discussion here on the forum about this but i have no idea where it is? can someone please point me in the right direction. Cheers Skip

to be honest - im not sure what kind they are - the ones i have seen are very small - like 3mm in length so far oh and i have put CYCLE into start the cycling process but was thinking about chucking a fish or 2 into the tank before i go on holiday (will still be in town to feed but didnt want to throw everthing i have at it when im not really available to do any water changes etc..)

i wont be putting fish in till after the xmas break as the tank is at work and i dont want to have to come in to clean the tank and feed fish etc - hadn't thought about loaches - whats a cheap loach that wont get too big ? only have a 110L tank so dont want clowns that they get far too big.

Hi All I have a new tank with no fish etc in yet - however with some plants i managed to have some snails - whats the best method of killing the snails before i put fish in the tank? cheers Skip

I was using a hose to empty the tank only until recently - I bought one of those tank empty/fill gadgets ages ago and put it somethere then forgot where I put it. Recently I found it and started using that to fill the tank as well. I only wish that I found it ages ago now....Buckets are ok for small tanks where you only need to remove 30L or so but anything over that starts to be a pain... I don't think I have used water conditioner in the last 2 years. It seems I kill my fish when I put in too much flourish excel and flourish comprehensive :facepalm:

Not long enough ?

heat guns work a treat on high but make sure you do it outside as the poly stinks when it melts

getting back on topic - i think there is a lot of evidence that we haven't seen and heard from the media - I went and watched about an hour of the case while a colleague was on the stand giving his evidence..... unfortunately the media pick and choose what they are going to share with us. the police must have had enough evidence to charge him with the murder or else why bother ?? the whole 3 shots thing is a bit of a moot point as anyone who has enough experience can reload a single or double barrel shotgun in rapid succession (we had a multi gun shoot up at our gun range and the guy with the single barrel shotgun won out over guys with 8 shot semi autos)

i dont think it is. i had a severum with hole in the head and that looked quite different.

That's a ridiculous price from ur local glazier then. Go with Pete at port Nic glass

were both of those prices correct or meant to be $240 and $300 or $2400 and $3000 ? I also recommend Pete at Port Nicholson glass. He built one of my tanks and sorted out some bracing for the other.

i have an iphone 3gs and i have no issues with it. I have a couple of mates with the galaxy s2 and they love - its all personal choice - if you want to "play" with the phone then the s2 is for you - if you just want a phone that works without needing to "play" then i would suggest an iphone. like you say not much in it for price but iphones just work

i topup from my tap for the pond without adding any chemicals - so you should be fine

prior to my first trip on a plane with a fish I ran Air NZ and they said it was up to security - its the usual story - all depends on who you get and what mood they are in when dealing with them
