Hi Edmund and welcome. Always keen to see what aquascaping people come up with.

"try and support the local scene and help people out" you say. Exactly! The problem will resolve itself soon when dial-up will no longer be available - and that time is coming soon. Why are you all getting upset by one person complaining about image size restrictions? If he wishes to moan about it every time he adds a link to his large pics elsewhere then let him do so. Just ignore it and click on the link if you wish. In the old days, when I had dial up, I didn't look at any pics as they took too long to load.

Most will be creating enough hot air to warm everyone (We can just ignore Jim or lock him outside :lol: )

Colin, a member in Mosgiel, has a number of clown loaches over 20 years old. They would be around 25cm I estimate.

Don't stress out bdspider. I am sure the whole weekend will go smoothly. It is certainly the most well planned/organised I have seen. If there are problems, we will sort them out at the time. I can't see anything major going wrong and we are all very forgiving As long as everyone is warm and well fed they won't complain. 8)

Good thing I don't have to weigh in at Weight Watchers until the end of the month! :bounce:

The fancy goldfish can be good to keep but they need a good sized tank as they are very messy fish and produce a lot of waste. Do not get the common short finned varieties as these need a lot of swimming room and are better in ponds. True orandas are very expensive but there are cheaper hybrids available at pet shops I think. Goldfish, the smaller fancy ones, need at least 40L per fish.

Welcome. This is a good hobby for the whole family. 8)

There is no need to have a tank set up permanently. I keep a small, extra, filter running in a main tank. When a Q tank is required, I get out the small one I have then add water from the main tank and the filter and it is ready to go. I usually use one of those plastic Critter Keepers and they float in the main tank well so I don't need an extra heater.

Same fish by the way - gambusia are also known as mosquitofish Vicious things they are too!

It is quite possible they are mosquito fish and illegal.

Grant had an 11 hour day yesterday then just got into bed when he was called to an emergency fault in Kaikoura at 11.30pm. He finally got home at 4.30am. He is currently in Clarence (halfway-ish to Kaikoura) on another fault and might get home by 6pm or he might not :roll: So yesterday he worked 16 hours too, but that doesn't include the 4 or more hours he did for our own company in between callouts. We don't want the other stuff mixed in with the custard thanks :-?

We work from home so deal with all the couriers. Here, Fastways is very poorly named :roll: I have not couriered fish so don't know what the local policy is.

But there will be custard instead? :lol:

Manhattan Transfer - Route 66

Puff Puff Daddy? :lol:

I think we had better forgo all other food on Friday so we have room! :lol:

You should be able to go back further than that. Try going to the previous month as you are probably only seeing June, which is the 1st today.

Only if you supply that pumpkin pie

I have just found a lovely recipe for pear and cinnamon muffins which sound tasty.

Our Navman can find the Equestrian Hotel and it's older than a My50.

System restore is easy to find. Go to Start, all programmes, accessories, system tools and under that should be system restore. Follw the instructions to restore it to a previous time. You won't lose data but you will lose anything installed after that time.

May make it hard to see the inhabitants though

If you have no live plants then a light is not necessary.

Lovely
