We will be combining our AGM with Tasman's this Friday evening, 7.30 at 2 Aldinga Ave. Stoke.
All welcome.
I will be bringing the goods we have so far been donated for conference. Sponsors are being very generous. Well worth attending conference this year!
If your tap water is 8 - 8.5 and the fish are used to it, why change? Better to have a stable pH out of the 'desirable' range than to try and alter it and end up with pH swings.
Slightly OT but my uncle is a helicopter pilot of many years experience. When he bought his computer he promptly went and bought a helicopter flight simulator game. He never did manage to fly the copter on screen :lol:
Could manage small planes but not the choppers. :-?
Caper, the naked man is Chris Downs (christopher in here, husband of Sarah and dad of newtman). Was going to make him centrefold in the magazine but figured people would be blinded by all that whiteness! :lol:
We have been commenting, on another fish forum I belong to, on how many Marks keep fish. We have been numbering them too :lol:
I have never met another Caryl but I know there is at least one in town.
Being sorted shadowfax. My parents' church has a garage sale next week so it will go there. Old clothing goes to the clothing bins in town for the second hand shops.
Most of the stuff going into the skip is old computers and monitors, no use to anyone. I hate having them go to the landfill but we have no collection place here for them like the big cities have. :evil:
I put warm back into my community tank but that is because I hold my hand under the water to break the flow so it is nicer to have warm water than cold on your hand :lol:
My Malawis loved their 50% water changes. Not only did they get a massive change in temp (thanks to the garden hose through the window trick. Tap on full blast through a trigger gun, the fish loved playing in the current) but the pH altered too :roll:
We got a big skip in over Easter so we are cleaning out the garage. My daughter has been here going through her boxes of stuff and throwing a lot of it out (so why did she have us store it for so many years!!??)
One thing going into the skip was a wind-up Grimace. So we wanted to see how he would swim - very well actually, although he didn't go far...
The fish took no notice of him at all! :lol:
You can tell from the water ripples that his little feet were going flat out!!
