  1. Just watched a couple of good doccos on domestic moggies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky9MPO2caIk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olMXLMqrSUY
  2. Yep, it's worked out well. It does tend to level out a bit over time - I've got a few dwarf chain loaches - but that's the only negative. Plants seem to like it.
  3. Queens of the Stone Age - I Appear Missing The new album's a keeper :love:
  4. Do they add minerals, vitamins, etc, or is it just rock salt? HRS might be worth a go, and it's pink so it might help Brutus color-up more :bggrn:
  5. How did you do the colored tubes inside the smarties covered one?
  6. There's an interview with the guy who wrote Luther, in the Herald today
  7. If you've eaten sizzlers then you've eaten porcine derriere :gigl: Wicked cake, Caryl!
  8. I had good results doing as you suggest - took the fish out and nuked the tank with copper sulphate. The snails died within minutes, I did two complete water changes, then put the fish back in. Plants and bio-filter were fine. I was snail free for about a year, until some eggs managed to sneak in on some new plants. I'm not over-feeding these days, so haven't bothered nuking again - there's only a few snails and they don't seem to munch plants, so it's all good. You can get copper sulphate at Bunnings in the plant fertilizer/spray section. It's frequently called bluestone. Costs bugger all for enough to last a lifetime for anti-snail duties
  9. Cool, let us know what you think after you've seen a few. S3 comes out sometime this year :bounce:
  10. Do you mean the yellow ones with the black cap? I've got one of those and it's accurate. They've gotten cheaper, I paid ~$60 for mine a while back
  11. :gpo2: Pfft, what spoilers? Something happens at a wedding. There's what, three weddings this season? Gee, that really gives it away :roll: If you consider that a spoiler, you'd better stay off the web altogether, too - it's all over social media sites at the moment. +1 for Firefly. Luther was a great series, anyone else watch it?
  12. I think I'd rather stab myself in the face with a fork than watch that again :tears: I haven't read the books, but there better be some comeuppance coming up soon, that's all I can say! Some of the twitter comments and youtube reactions are hilarious
  13. How's me saying "Good god" a spoiler? :dunno: I alluded to something epic happening but that's pretty much a given with GoT. Calculator, must have been hard not spoiling it when you'd read the books.
  14. Anyone else seen the red wedding in the latest Game of Thrones? Holy hell! :tears:
  15. I had one in a small, overstocked community tank - no worries. Moved everyone to a 450 l. and a few weeks later he had to go to the LFS because he got so aggro :dunno:
  16. Looks great! Does coffee grit make your fish swim faster? :fshi:
  17. You'll need macros as well, if you go high tech. Monopotassium phosphate and potassium nitrate, plus magnesium sulphate. There's heaps of guides to high tech on the web. Have a search for "estimative index" for a commonly used method that works well http://www.plantedtank.net/articles/Fer ... ed-Tank/1/
  18. Did you mean mis-use of apostrophes? :rolfl: The Oatmeal has some good grammar guides
  19. Yay, thanks for reminding me. Just downloaded the first 6 episodes. Let the crazy begin :happy2: Does anyone else like Boardwalk Empire? Don't get attached to any character, that's all I can say...
  20. :slfg: Actually, this forum is the only site where Firefox's spell checker doesn't seem to work - does anyone else have the same trouble? I'm running the NZ English dictionary 1.0.1 My grammar is usually good, but my spelling sucks big-time :facepalm:
  21. What, no love for the Sopranos? :tears: Some of the finest TV ever... Anyone else watching (torrenting) Orphan Black? I'm liking it a lot.
