Anti-bacterial remedies for cyanobacteria (blue-green algae)
Will have to wait until I am home to check that one Pinsara. I have a meds database on the home unit to compare the two. Will be home tonight.

my favorit topic: Guppies
Female guppies get a hunched back later in life especially if they have bred constantly. You know what a guppy should look like. Any that don't look like that are deformed and should be culled.

Comets
Comets need a big tank not a small bowl too!!

Water temp near a fire place
It's a free standing wood burner. They are tiled on the sides aren't they so most heat comes out the front? Try putting a thick sheet of polystyrene on the end nearest the fire. Our free standing wood burner didn't bother the tanks beside it.

Anti-bacterial remedies for cyanobacteria (blue-green algae)
Erythromycin. Get it from your GP. Have to pay for a prescription though. I would offer you some but I have already given it all away (I work for a Dr).

Fancy cold water fish
In the heat of summer you shouldn't need to srart with a heater if your room temp sits at aound 25+C. It is the night time temps you have to be careful with. "Coldwater" in this instance means about 18C.

Hi there. Nice to be here
Welcome Poppy. Good luck with the marine

hi to all wainuiomarshians
Hi and welcome Fran. The Wainuis usually belong to the Kapi-Mana Aquarium Club (and I think some also belong to the Wgnt Aquarium & Watergarden Soc) but there is enough of them to split into their own group now I reckon!

Cockatoo spawning
If they're doing it right they won't notice the camera

Landscapers start on my new pond tomorrow!
Wok he thinks the search and rescue helicopter is a great idea :lol: He has been called out to a big fire out of control at Havelock. Lots of helicopters out there, plus at one in Cable Bay. Not sure what fish to use. Why not baby salmon?

So how's the fish doing? Any luck yet?

Landscapers start on my new pond tomorrow!
Speaking of jetties...Grant suggested we build a small one to scale and get a radio controlled boat. He then thought we could build a mini salmon farm and whenever we wanted a bit of excitement we could go and cut the ropes and let it float free. He could then get some radio controlled tugs to push it back in place. :lol: His next suggestion was to build a model railway track around it :roll: WTM: that was cruel to tease your turtle like that 8) The decking will overhang at both ends. No further progress as they have been on another job this week while the concrete cures.

Disappearing frys but haven't seen any bodies yet!!!
They are all being eaten. You need a heavily planted tank for any great number to survive.

Flow rates
I paid $170 for the filter though, the other $15 was freight. I could have searched online but preferred to deal with someone I knew.

Flow rates
$185. There are cheaper brands but I wanted this one.

Yes but that is just my personal opinion. Others may disagree.

What filter to use?
They need to be submerged to work. I have my noodles in the bottom with the sponge sitting on top.

questions about filters
With that depth I would have an external canister plus be inclined to add an undergravel filter as well to get circulation right through the tank. You will need to add an extension to the canister uplift as you want the tube as low as possible.

How long has the tank been cycled? Bristlenoses need a reasonably mature tank so they have something to graze on. The cherries would still be happier in a group and look better. One or 2 don't show their colours like a big group of them. I wouldn't be adding any more to your list either.
