  1. Ah right, there's quite a bit of that stuff growing in and around the moss. Thanks for clearing that up. I'll see if I can get some pics tonight edit: Hey cool, it's carnivorous :bounce:
  2. Umm, green? No idea sorry :dunno:
  3. Actually, now that I think about it I think you're right - ferns use spores for reproduction, so it'd have to be the moss wouldn't it? :oops:
  4. Can anyone clarify what this flower is? I'm not sure if it's from the moss or the java fern underneath. Does moss flower? I wouldn't have thought so, but feel free to edumacate me
  5. Haha, that's what I was thinking. The other one is mildly disgusted and thinking "I don't think so, dude"
  6. Stumbled onto this pic tonight, baby chameleons
  7. :slfg: That's just the flash name for permethrin, which is the active ingredient in No Spiders and most insecticides. It's bad for fish and cats, so be careful when spraying... It's generally consider harmless, but there's some interesting stuff on Wikipedia, which makes me want to use it as little as possible, i.e not at all : Permethrin does not present any notable genotoxicity or immunotoxicity in humans and farm animals, but is classified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a likely human carcinogen, based on reproducible studies in which mice fed permethrin developed liver and lung tumors.[10] Carcinogenic action in nasal mucosal cells due to inhalation exposure is suspected, due to observed genotoxicity in human tissue samples, and in rat livers the evidence of increased pre-neoplastic lesions raises concern over oral exposure.
  8. There's nothing like dousing your house in 3-Phenoxybenzyl (1RS)-cis,trans-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl) -2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate to get rid of spiders!
  9. I had black neons a while ago and they were very sort lived, and quite a few ended up with spinal bends I'm liking penguin tetras ATM, very lively but they don't hassle my emerald eyed rasboras
  10. The Melbourne aquarium is pretty cool. Don't bother with the behind the scenes tour though - it was very short and not value for money IMHO. Very cool cuttlefish and squid displays :bounce:
  11. PM me you email address and I'll send them thru. Easy to build, have a read on this forum
  12. Combat is the most fun thing you can do with RC IMHO :bounce: No other damage during combat, the lift was so good that we weren't crashing when getting hit, and we could recover spins easily. The Fusion was actually still flyable with one elevator, but it was slow with the busted one flapping around and I kept getting hit, so I landed and taped it up - good old strapping tape A mate lost his old 3 meter glass ship when the elevator let go, and another guy started flying the wrong plane - he was wondering why he was getting no response, and by the time he realised he was looking at the wrong plane his was out of sight. You can make a really good combat wing from coroflute - I can hook you up with a plan if you want to give it a go - works out at about $35 if you get it laser cut + 2 servos a batt and receiver The song is Louder (Flux Pavilion & Doctor P Remix) I download quite a bit of wubwub from links off this site.
  13. Had a fun couple of days at Mokau last weekend, lots of combat flying
  14. There's a good review site here The Monster Dr Dre Beats only got 6.5/10 and the Bose models were much worse. Can't go past Grado or Sennheiser in my opinion. I use Sennheiser and like them a lot.
  15. I feed my community tank every night, a mix of bloodworms and flake food. Occasionally I feed 'em flakes in the morning when I'm dosing ferts. Mind you, my tank's heavily planted and I have lots of filtration
  16. Can you get a sample and have a look at it through a microscope? Try a local high school or Auckland Uni's bio dept if you don't have access to a scope. Might be a paper in it for some aspiring postgrad. I did some googling, but all I found was that thread on MFK, and they didn't know either :dunno: Get a priest in to exorcise your tank. That ectoplasm's bound to be attracting bad ju-ju! :evil: :nilly:
  17. My dwarf chain loaches don't eat snails at all :dunno:
  18. I first saw it last week, too - it's had two million more views since then
  19. Penguin Tetras like playing in current
  20. Finished Rage last night. id's tech5 engine is awesome - great graphics. It was a good game, if a little short
  21. Foster the People - Pumped Up Kicks (Butch Clancy Remix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXO-jKksQkM, pretty amazing - pretty sure he breaks the laws of physics at 4:15 :bounce:
  22. Muh muther's muh sista! Is that a banjo I hear playing in the background? :lol: I've often wondered about how resistant fish are to mutations from inbreeding - interesting topic.
  23. Don't clean the filters at all, unless flow has been reduced by gunk build-up. You should only need to clean them once, maybe twice, a year edit: Alan beat me to it...
