Sorry to hear bout your losses. :an!gry Ive just arrived home after 2 weeks and everything is ok at mine. With the exception of a slightly dry sump. What i had was a 7 day pill container from the $2 shop on each tank. They came round every 2nd day and fed the fishys, i also hid all the other food away so there was no chance of overfeeding. Oviously this isnt of much help now but thought i would just share.

Hi all, we purchased 3 female bettas from hff last weekend and today i discovered a nice big bubble nest in their tank. Now im guessing that one is a male? or do females build bubble nests too? i can put up photos if that helps

If your kicking out malawis, send any spare ones my way :sml1:

Hey go to Expol! - 105 Captain Springs Road. Its way cheaper than any hardware store, as they manufacture it. Also if you ask they often have some nice big blocks from offcuts. This is where i went when i made my background.

Personally i don't think this seller would need to bid against themselves (i take it that is what you are insinuating), due to their number of auctions and huge turn over. Some people just want to bid big just to scare off potential competition.

Knowing what the fish is might help

I have one in my 6fter with africans, they love playing in the current. I forget what the flow rate is but think its higher than 6000l/h. I wouldn't recommend using it on a timer though, as im sure fish will find their way into it while its off. Then will be mince meat when it switches back on.

I use a combination of NLS, spirulina flake and frozen foods. Ive got five african tanks on the go, if you buy the bigger jars of nls will work out great value for the quality you are getting. I also use the odd fruit and vege as a treat!

Tornado was just after 3pm apparently.

Getting home was crazy, all the lights are out and emergency vehicles everywhere. Apparently there was a tornado by the harbor bridge just after i went over it. Powers out in a lot of areas. Thankfully we still have it here.

Welcome! Hope you enjoy your stay

Nice fish and i love the drift wood :happy2: Where did David find that??

Heres the background thats in my 800L: http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=50525 I let the concrete cure for a week or so. Then added water and after 3 or 4 water changes over the next week the ph had stabilised. Fish have been healthy as for the 2 or so months they have been in there.

Wow, nice tank cant wait to see photos when its all set up. :happy2: What media is going in the sump? Ive heard about people using adhesive to fix slightly uneven stands. They just put thick beads of "no more nails" (or similar) between the stand and ply. Then sit the poly and tank on top while the adhesive is still wet. The tank should do the job of leveling out the ply and the glue will hold it there. Hope this helps.
