I think we have a winner!

"Who drank all my vodka?"

I believe she doesn't have phone or Net access at the moment.

I think I bought mine off Trademe. Not actually got around to using it yet :roll: Hmmm I wonder where it is? :-? :lol:

Glass would be good and trap warmth. Plastic, depending on thickness, will develop a sag in the middle.

Can you feel me twisting your arm Stella? I thought her coming to conference was a definite! I was looking forward to meeting her.

After checking into it, we will have to back out as I can't get time off work Perhaps next trip

Cover the bath with something

You can adjust the flow on an airstone to have it bubbling as fast or slow as you like. It should not upset the fish.

The airstone would be more just surface and unless it was really forcing oput the bubbles I doubt it would upset any fish.

It is crowded compared to lately when it has just been me and Jude. Used to be 15+ in there most nights in the past.

So this is why we got crowded about 7.40pm? :lol: Bring your own chairs next time :lol:

An airstone will increase water flow in a limited way. Filters create more flow as they are more powerful and as they our the water back into the tank it creates a flow. Some filters have their return pipes under the water surface so the flow isn't seen so much on the surface. If the filter returns water at, or above the water surface, it creates more flow. Airstones create flow as the bubbles break the surface but to a much more limited degree. I think you are getting flow mixed up with increasing oxygen content. If you have a filter, or airstone, creating waves on the surface, you are increasing the water surface area and the amount of oxygen exchange.

I thought it bad enough that children were given their own mobiles but these guys???? :lol:

When I had minnows they certainly lasted a lot longer than 2 years.

I await your article - thank you :lol:

For those who want to see Sally's marines... http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v144/ ... ?start=all

Blue if you would like to do an article on Tubifex worms I would appreciate it. Not sure why you think the worms in the article are not planaria considering it was an article about them! It is possible that sometimes white worms found in an aquarium are not planaria but the ones in the article were.

NOW he tells us :roll:

I agree with conch. If a price is quoted it includes GST, unless otherwise stated.

it made me laugh... A termite found a piece of wood He ate a bit and found it good And that is why your Aunty May Fell through the parlour floor today! :lol:

As topics go - this one's definitely off! :lol:

There is a difference between what temperature fish can live in and what they prefer to live in. Guppies are quite happy down to 18C. They will stay alive in lower temps for short periods but it is not good for them. They would be fine outside in ChCh over summer but bring them in when it gets colder.

Don't ever drop solder onto the hairs on the joint on your big toe (Grant's Hint For The Day) :lol:
