I don't have much slate, not enough to stack along a back wall like many do, but enough to make some small caves. I have both natural slate (I think) and cut stuff.
-
How much slate do you need? I have one or two bits here and will be in ChCh in about 3 weeks.

NEVER add medications when you have no idea of the cause of death. NEVER mix medications. If you have added tonic or something, DO NOT add anything else! 99% of deaths are caused by poor, or incorrect, water conditions.

I am surprised that wood has not sunk yet as it looks like the rimu I have in my tank so is good and solid. I believe the baking soda helps dissolve the air bubbles or something so making it sink faster (might have the theory wrong there). Some have tied heavy fishing sinkers to the wood, where they can't be seen. This does not harm the fish either.

That was my thought too Ira. Pegwood said pump, then everyone replied assuming they meant filter. Which they may have but clarification is needed 8)

Fish are a lot easier to catch if you remove all the plants, rocks, and decor first then remove most of the water

Obviously some of you have too much time on your hands! :roll: :lol: Besides which the third moon of Saturn is not visible at this time of year :-?

Gee Billaney, only one? :lol:

I would think most farm supply places would have something suitable.

Just a small note here - the TANK is supposed to get onto the stand, not you

Prayers and positive vibes thread for my Calypso

Is this where someone suggests he will have to move to Canterbury? :lol: I am sure he will come through the surgery with flying colours and adapt to his one eyed existence. -
Believe me boys are cheaper and less hassle! :roll: (I have one of each so know from experience!)

Only the wascally ones!

I second that complaint! :lol: Shall we ban him or just poke him with your pointy stick? :bounce:

and what's this "we" bit? Who will be carrying it for 9 months then pushing it out?

There is stuff you can get that is used to coat the inside of concrete drinking water tanks. Don't know the name of the product though sorry.

Two further suggestions... 1. Tape duct tape or similar around the top edge (mine is 4cm wide and some sort of material, rather than plastic, stretchy tape. Bought at an auto shop I think) so you can't see the water line. 2. When you look at the tank, tip your head sideways to the appropriate angle until it looks level

And if you keep to the speed limit it costs you no extra and you don't have the added expense of having to buy a radar detector!

As I make so few mistakes I don't mind if wok feels compelled to pick up on them :lol: Keeps him amused. Lamb shanks are great in the slow cooker. Some of the other suggestions are too greasy for my taste.

Those black and white discus must be sick since they appear to be lying on their sides :lol:

I think you will find the concrete will always leach and raise the pH without some sort of sealant. You will also have to make sure the sealant gets into all the spaces and no bit of concrete is left exposed.

Hi and welcome. I like the bristlenoses too. 8) Would you like to add your location to your profile? (under User Control Panel top left of the page) It helps sometimes when answering a question, or offering help if needed.

Kapi Mana Fish Club June meeting - Wed 24th
Caryl replied to kevin_wgtn's topic in FNZAS & Afflilated Clubs
What do you mean "here"? Your place or the KMAC meeting? :lol: -
Grant slathers it with mustard :roll:

Sounds like your only option is to move as he isn't going to change. With his name on the lease you are stuck. Talk to WINZ. You might end up with higher rent payments but you will save in lower bills for power etc. to off-set it.
