I believe the quake registered on every drum in the country! (the ones that draw the squiggles when the earth shakes) What sickens me most is those who, as soon as the tremors stopped, headed off to see what they could loot. :evil:
-
I'm glad you found it so amusing slevin12. Not so for those who weren't so lucky.

A friend's daughter (in Gisborne) was home alone with 2 preschoolers who were in bed. She rushed in to her son's room to find the dresser had been flung across the room and was lying on his bed. Luckily he is just a little guy and was at the very top end and the dresser landed further down. They have lost everything in the house - TVs etc as it all fell over and smashed. Very frightening and here was I worried about the slight roll we got here! :roll:
-
Wish I'd thought of that. Anyone know how to get red marker off a computer screen? :lol: (just kidding!!!)
-
Another reason to make sure you do not fill your tanks too close to the top - water slopping over and fish surfing out the end!
-
Are your tanks attached to the wall? I wouldn't want to be next to one in a big quake! They can really move!
-
I can't access the report page. Obviously lots of people have already done so :lol:
-
If you felt it, go fill out the GeoNet report
-
You would not like it if it did oscarboy and you couldn't get your feet under the doorway protection!
-
Was just a gentle rolling here, enough to shake the computer monitors but not enough to have me diving under the nearest doorframe.
-
You mean you felt it in Whakatane? Must have been a doozy somewhere. Waiting for the quake site to tell us the details.
-
We are very likely to get a huge one as we sit on a number of fault lines. If you think we don't get big ones, check out the Napier and Murchison quakes! We were in Seddon when hit by a 6.2 quake in 1966. Our house moved over 10cm off its foundations. I can still remember the sound of it roaring through and the noise of chimneys and pictures etc crashing down around us. The toilet split in half too. Just announced they felt it in Wgtn (on the radio)

Very good but it should be all right, or alright, not allright :lol: Plus "we're" not were It was only a slight one here too but it may be a precursor to something bigger :roll:
-
Just had a quake. I hate the things, especially when I am on my own
-
We had a club member who tried feeding them with lots of lettuce. Didn't stop them eating the plants as well.
-
They will survive no trouble at all.

Tonic salt doesn't "cure" anything. Meth blue is used for fungal infections.
-
Depends on the greeblie :lol: I am referring to mossie larvae, daphnia and any other small critter that ends up in the water.
-
I think the water boatmen (or is it the backswimmers?) eat fish eggs and small fry. That is why they are no good in tanks. I often collect greeblies from ponds. Just make sure nobody has sprayed weeds or anything nearby.
-
Can't help you there as I never add anything to my tanks if I can help it and have never used aquarium salts. Perhaps someone else has used them and can offer advice or comments. Note that raising the temp will not get rid of the whitespot, it justs speeds up their life cycle so helps get rid of it more quickly.
-
and I bet you didn't have yours all at once either!
-
40L is only small so I would only add 4 - 6 neon sized fish per month.
-
Salt shouldn't make the water turn green. :-?
-
Probably has so much pressure on her stomach she doesn't feel hungry :lol:
-
Depends on the size of the tank and fish
