We have just set up a Jebo 815 to cycle on our main tank for the Alzheimers' Society. They are setting up a tank in their day care facility. First thing we did was remove the carbon and add more ceramic noodles.

Yeah, what she said ^ ^ :lol:

Why not visit the pet shops and see if there is some suitable fish that catches your daughter's eye and go from there?

I would like to hear you all say Pterygoplichthys when drunk :slfg: For those wondering, I believe it is pronounced terry gop lick this :dunno:

It's men, they over estimate the size of most things You should quarantine all fish but I must admit I do not - unless one is looking ill on arrival.

These were posted this morning so keep an eye out for them arriving in a letter box near you (hopefully your own!) :happy1: This month's issue has; - Design a breeding certificate. We need a updated look. - Audouinella - black brush algae. What is it? What causes it? How do you treat it? How do you prevent it? - Find out why some our aquarium plants always die. - How do you set up an African tank? - Read about CTT's sausage sizzle to raise fund for Turtle Rescue & Rehoming. - See how CTT set up for the Christchurch Pet Expo and how successful it was. - Learn about MacMaster's dwarf cichlid, Apistogramma macmasteri. - Find out how to build a high tech planted freshwater tank. (Taken from the thread in this forum) - If you don't want to set up with Africans or freshwater, find out about setting up a marine tank instead. - PLUS THERE'S MORE! Including... Information on the FNZAS Conference being held this Queen's birthday weekend (1 - 4 June) in Hamilton. Sounds like they have lots of interesting things planned plus a link to register, and pay, online. :happy2: The conference stuff was supposed to be in the centre but I forgot I had added the cover to the main book (they used to be done separately) so instead of the centre being the usual pages 20 - 21, it is now 22 - 23 :facepalm:

Welcome I think anyone with a teenage son probably already has a small ecosystem in their home :roll:

Boesemani :thup:

Many thanks. I would like to name things correctly if they end up in the AW.

I have spent ages going through sites trying to match scientific names to fish but some contradicted others (imagine that!) and I got lost :facepalm:

I couldn't figure out if the 3 stripe and humbug were actually the same fish :oops:

Hi all. I have some pics from our club's tank parade but, as I am not a marine keeper, I cannot identify the foillowing fish, corals, enemones etc. Any help would be appreciated. Some pics will have 2 types of coral in them. The round blue things The anemone Any help would be appreciated

How was she a slave? She had minor jobs to do in the household and was expected to clean up after herself. Nothing wrong with that. She needs to be thankful I am not her parent!

&c:ry . You did your best.

Hmmm should we be concerned he has a syringe handy to use? :gigl:

Is it still alive this morning Nymox?

You need to reply to the TM ad with what is actually is now Ade and suggest he researches as well

I think it is preferable to use live plants in but some situations, like this, plastic are ideal.

:thup:

I have one of these things. My problem is we do not have strong water pressure and the tap is about the same height as the tank (and quite a distance from it) so it takes ages to fill (easy to forget it is running). It does not give a strong enough suck to clear the crud from the substrate as you work either. Because of these 2 things I rarely use mine these days as it is quicker with the buckets.

I do hope you will supply me with an article about this Nymox :bounce:

According to several sites...it grows best in tropical and subtropical zones in warm and damp conditions but will wither if temp gets too high. It is also said to reduce certain urges and the monks use it to help them stay celibate. I wonder if it has the same effect on fish? If so, better keep it out of any aquarium where you have fish you are wanting to breed I suspect it will cope submerged for some months but will eventually rot.

There are some fantails in there but I don't like orandas. Have to be careful what we add as it get below -4C in winter and the pond has been known to stay iced over for several days in a row.

We have a local lady here with a lovely marine set-up. She has to run a chiller because of the heat of the lights and equipment. She has a tank built into the lounge wall and accesses by a specially built room behind it.
