I've been trying to find beach around here, I had never considered Alder. If I find a good source I will be sure to get some for you Ryan.

Considering there is a BBQ available, and I have missed a few meetings....Just bring your chopsticks :happy2:

Another year wiser, happy birthday mate :thup:

I hope they are bloodworms, I get those in my daphnia culture but I have never seen a bloodworm in there, I will be sifting through the silt in the bottom later to find out though. Fingers crossed I know some fishies who would just love their bloodworms live.

Beard! Although it is the start of movember....

Thanks Jim but I took the opportunity to get down to just one tank, I hope the albino's are going well for you though! All my hard work is still out there spread about the country so you never know what might pop up one day. Yay more Iggy photo's

IGNIS! Haha thanks for posting this I have been wondering about him lately, Awww lil Iggles is not so little really any more, sounds like he has grown about 6cm. I am out of the guppy business now. The cat helped himself to all my best stock one night, anything that wasn't crushed by the breaking lid pieces was fished out and played with :dunno: I gave away the remaining :sml1:

congratulations Sophia :bounce:

Thanks BE I will try all of those once I have a new graphics card and send you what information I can.

They don't do anything to get it to connect it just happens, it seems to confuse them. I have tried other older modems, all adsl+1 work fine, its adsl+2 that won't work unless on the phone to the isp. My new modem has been tried on 2 other locations and works very well. It seems to loose sync as soon as I hang up. The old modem connects, I am unsure of the speed to get to the administrator page takes a very long time, this modem is ancient and on its way out but still connects fine, its not the fastest though. My graphics card has gone on me today too at least they're not too expensive any more for a decent one.

only on the phone to them no sky/fax/alarm and I replaced the all filters just in case, new modem is belkin f5d5630au4

isp is kinect same as the phone, they are part of trust power. Its a plain old phone.

While we are on the subject of modems, I have an issue I have been trying to solve. I got a new adsl 2+ modem a few months back because I was still running an 8 year old d-link that came free with a signup to telecom. Now that modem is slow, it wasn't designed for high speed so there are no issue there other then the speed. After adding all my details to the new modem it still wouldn't connect, that is until I called the isp and it connected immediately, speed was very fast 8 mbps which is what I am paying for so it was nice to get that speed for once. However as soon as I hung up from the isp it disconnected, and only connects when I am on the phone to their help desk. Google seems to tell me that it is bad lines within either the house, or the connection to the house. Unfortunately my isp says they can check the lines, and if it turns out to be our house then they will charge $460 for the test. If it is the connection to the house then they fix it and charge nothing. So here is my question. Is there anyway to rule out the house wiring? If it turns out its the house I will be so far up the creek a paddle will be the least of my worries, but I am paying for high speed internet and would like a chance to use it, so if I can rule out the house then I will order the test to be done and hopefully be on adsl +2 in the near future. Any ideas would be great, sorry to jack your thread Simon but I figured it wasn't worth a new topic.

Congratulations Alan! She looks beautiful can't wait to see the adult markings.

Wow I would love to spend an afternoon rummaging around in there, bet there are all kinds of forgotten treasures.

I might have to take note of this, I have always had MTS never really been bothered by them as they turn the substrate. But it would be nice when I set the new tank up to leave the fish out of a week while the copper takes care of all the snails :gigl:

probably not any more

welcome

Try that guy in Morrinsville, thefishtank or something he's called. You can find him on trademe under that name. Just a word of warning though, I bought aquaone t5ho tubes and they all failed on me, I know my unit was sound as it would still run other tubes without a problem. I splashed out and bought Arcadia tubes and they have already paid for themselves. I would only get a max of a month from the aquaone tubes before they would fade out and eventually stop. Could have been an isolated shipment though I got them from 2 different pet stores, these were the 39W T5HO daylight.

I've just been told I got that wrong, Iodine is needed for the production of thyroxine.

They do morph on their own but its very very rare. Axolotls don't metamorphose into the salamander because of the lack of the thyroxine hormone produced by the thyroid gland. There is evidence of Iodine and thyroxine being used to force them to morph but it's incredibly stressful to the animal, It will also shorten in life span drastically and cause it to lose the ability to regenerate. There is no evidence to support the gradual lowering of the water level will force them to morph.
