    Who I am :)

    Hi Binkles and welcome. Someone with your sense of humour should cope well in this place :lol: Is there something unlucky about being named "6"?
  2. I think I know the birchir you saw at Redwoods and can understand your desire for one! :lol: It attracted my attention too but I have no intention of buying one.
  3. If you don't have chlorine in your tap water (and Blenheim doesn't either) then there is no point in adding chlorine remover. I add absolutely nothing to my tank, apart from water (and not counting fish food ).
  4. MAF have a web site - easy to look it up. Can't remember the address off hand though, will have to search. MAF isn't called MAF though anymore I don't think
  5. I have heard about both these theories but don't know how accurate they are. I do know reptiles' sex is determined by temperature.
  6. Hmm isn't the English language wonderful? :lol:
  7. You are supposed to build a house around the tank Warren! :lol:
  8. If this club gets off the gound may I dare suggest you consider affiliating to the FNZAS? Your expertise in marines would be of great benefit to others. At $5 per person I think our fees most reasonable.
  9. If printing is a problem for you Rob I am happy to do them for you if you just email me the details and I can print the certificates and send them off for you.

    Rata logs

    I do hope you realise by the smileys Chris, that we are kidding?

    Rata logs

    If he isn't willing to go to the trouble of making the coffee personally, I wouldn't help him :lol:
  12. I don't think they are particularly aggressive but I would not keep them with anything too small. They grow larger than the average community fish (eg tetras, barbs, guppies etc). Maybe gouramis would be OK?
  13. There are lots of fishkeepers, both tropical and reefers, in ChCh but they don't seem to be club people.
  14. I agree with herefishiefishie :lol: . Dreadful looking things! People either love em or hate em. Welcome to the fishroom by the way I am sure someone else will like them and have better suggestions.

    Rata logs

    Rata looks beautiful in an aquarium! Sounds good Joze, thanks for the offer, but what a waste of ancient rata It seems sacriligeous to burn it Rata and rimu are both good for landscaping a tank.
  16. Try Organism too - boy you have to watch that one when you pronounce or type it! :lol:

    Ashs Tank

    I know you are new to the hobby Ash but those are fish, not test kits :lol:
  18. I believe they have come out with some of these plants with a pink tinged variety. They need a good amount of light though or will lose some of the redness.
  19. Albinos can develop a slight hue sometimes. Nothing to worry about but if it is 9cm it is a good size for a cory!

    Another Blenheimer

    Hi Josy We might not see Josie in the chatroom sue as she is unable to use her computer confortably at night due to an eye problem but keep an eye out for her during the day
  21. Welcome TeeCee. We have a few from Canterbury in here. Christchurch has the most pet shops per population in NZ and, according to those in the know, a better selection that Auckland. Heading your way next weekend as we will be staying overnight in ChCh then on to goldie in Asburton. You had better start budgeting for a bigger house or a garage as this hobby is catching!! :lol:
  22. I wouldn't think it matters what level you take the water from either, assuming good flow. On the rare occasions I actually test the water I always take it from the top. Haven't used a Hagen kit so can't help re colours. I can see your problem though (it's clear to me )
  23. Gorgeous reef! Thanks for sharing.

    Ashs Tank

    Don't get carried away and stock it too quickly will you? Tank is looking very nice.
