[Another new one....]

did you buy those archerfish that were in organism?? I had my eye on those :P :lol:

Maybe i'll see ya in there some time I'm usually pop in twice a week

[Another new one....]

hey dude..you have archerfish wicked

when you get that 4 foot going, i recomend you put the archers in there and make it brackish

[New Tank: Needs Help on Equiptment Brands Etc.]

for your size tank, i would use a HOB filter...penguin bio wheel, acua clear ect.

jagar heaters are pretty much top of the line....but rather expensive. I use via aqua heaters. I recomend getting a fully submergable heater

try get a twin tube fluro light hood. it should give enough light to keep most plants

and a school of corys would look cool...just don't try to start yopur tank with panda corys

[Hey, New To fishkeeping]

marine tank syndrome is even worse...and marine MTS....... :lol:

[How big do Gold Nugget pleco's get??]

Hey guys, we were having a bit of a discusion in chat tonight over the adult size of gold nugget pl*cos...L177 to be exact

here is a quote from planetcatfish.com

Size: The adult size of L177 is unknown although it is likely to be the same as L18 / L85 which is around 12" - 14". Vires states that L81 is a smaller species and only reaches 7".

So what do you guys recon?

[How much does it cost?]

lol guys, thanks for your help I don't have anywhere near that amount of money at the moment anyway (no job )

so you guys recon a 4 footer is a minimum.......what about a large 3 foot (3'x18"x18")??

I'm prob to lazy to have a marine tank anyway :lol: It was a thought i had for a while though.....maybe i'll try brackish first

[How much does it cost?]

Hey guys, I'm just curious....on estimate, how much would it cost to set up a 3'x14x14 tank as a reef?

I also hear that of you set it up right, you don't need a filter?

so equipment reqired would be?

tank/stand/hood

Skimmer (brands? cost?

powerheads (how many? what size?)

Lights (what kind? how many watts? cost?)

Live rock (how much? cost?)

corals (estimated cost?)

sand (cost?)

fish/crustations?

thanks guys (just considering ATM )

[What Species?]

YAY, i was right

BTW serpaes are known to be a little nippy and them and the neons might just overstock you tank 8)

[Hello evryone]

welcome aboard hope to meet you in chat some time

I have a planted tank too currently looking into upgrading the lighting and co2

[Hey, New To fishkeeping]

How can you not get MTS alan?? :lol:

[What Species?]

paid to much for them as well :roll:

[Tinfoils and plants]

tin foil barbs are well knowen as the lawn mowers of the aquarium...I don't think you'll have much lucj with plants and tin foils

[What Species?]

pristella are more yellowy than orange.

I'm almost certain it is a red phantom tetra

[What Species?]

Those are some kind of tetra....by the looks of it they are either red phantom tetras or serpae tetras (i'm hopless at ID :roll: )

bronze corys should look somthing like this

[What Fish Do I get ?]

Angle fish get to big for your tank IMO.

I personally would only put 8 neons and 6 corys in there

[Aquarium World]

got mine today

thanks caryl 8)

[Howdy, First time fish hobby person]

welcome to the fish Room

[What does this Do ?]

co2 injection puts co2 into the water for the plants

also, you don't need to worry about any of these things in your tank

[Hi All]

I don't like the look of the fish in critter kingdom personally

I'm gonna say organism is all you need......prob closer than redwood, very clean and friendly and both Toby and John know heaps

organism is on the corner of Islam and Clyde rd.......it's a green shop next to the fish and chip shop :lol:

[More catfish photos]

LOL...I'm rather well known at organism....I doubt they will mind :lol:

man, they even recognised me over the phone

[gidday]

hey there Rob, welcome to the fishroom

[URGENT : I submersed my Heater]

Neons in NZ are pretty hardy and will survive a cycle easy.

and yes, mollies are availible in nz

[Hi All]

alan

[What if.....]

tank means mt "big" tank (120x45x45cm) is tiny

[URGENT!! help please]

you tank is going through a totally normal phase called the cycle it sounds like amonia has gona and now you are going into the nitrIte phase when nitrAte shows, your tank is cycled.

just keep up the water changes and you'll be fine

The electric yellows will be happier in the higher pH anyway.

I think the electric yellow will have been adjusted to normal PH at the LFS
