Eheim ecco it says on the top :happy1:
-
oh sorry, thought the lime was in the tank. if you can see it settling mechanical filtration will likely remove a lot of it so the more filtration the better, stirring it up will help get it into the filter. What filter you running?
it is a eheim canister. cant remember the model, its in the garage. quite a good one im aware of.
-
i'd add carbon into the filter if i had some & do water changes to reduce the browning
I can only water change from the same water source though?
-
carbon should get rid of the brown tinge but that will depend on what it is to some extent more than likely sediment , you would want some decent carbon though not the cheap stuff. as for lime i hope you dont have any fish in there as the ph will be very high
I also believe there is abit of sediment because it settles on every surface including the bath.
-
No no, no fish in there yet. we have been given some fish but need to set the tank up first and cycle it
I have a external filter for it so that would work? -
Filling up our big 180L tank today. water is very brown due to a huge concentration of lime.
My Question. how do i get rid of the lime and brown tinge the water has?

Hey everyone. i need to transport a car thats not %100 driveable(has rust in the roof, no side window, no rego or warrent) from Timaru to Amberley about 20mins north of Christchurch. as soon as we can get it here.
i cant offer much but i can cover costs for a transporter trailer(max of $70) and $100 for fuel
If anyone can help it would much appreciated!

Obvious suggestion would be plants like Java fern or Anubias.
To give a better answer we would need to know some more information.
What are the tank dimensions? what type and how much light are we talking about? what sort of substrate are you using? and what are you goals(what look do you want to achieve?)
the idea was suggested to created a planted apisto tank. the dimensions are 850mm x 50mm x 50mm. my plan was just to use normal shingle stones at the bottom. looking at a community style tank. something bright and beautiful. the light i was given with the tank so dont really know much about it but its 600mm long and is a T8??
-
Im setting up a tropical tank(low light) need some suggestions on the best types of plants. the tank is about 200L
-
Does anyone know any apisto breeders?
-
there's plenty of people on here that will point you in the right direction.
that would be fantastic help

I reckon a nice planted tank with a few caves and some dift wood. A few apistos, some bristlenoses, a school of tetras and maybe a few other fish. I'd love to do one myself, but i'm kind of restricted to 1 tank at the moment.They are a great addition to a community tank and a very peaceful, as long as the other fish stay out of their territory.
Loving the idea. not too sure the light would be good enough for a planted tank tho. i think its a 60cm t8. but its in the corner of the picture anyway.
-
Apistogramma species. They are dwarf cichlids and very pretty.
are they compatible with any other fish?
-
+1 Awesome Idea :thup:
Stupid Question. what is a apisto?
-
the idea was to create a community tank
-
:smot: I would like to keep local cold water. but the boss says she wants tropicals first.
-
So ive been given a new but old fishtank. its about 200L

i was given this and need some ideas. any suggestions?
-
Turn it around and make it the back wooolaah! its gone! :happy1:

maybe he wants to watch a feeding frenzy ? hehe :yaw2:

I have had this combination before and had no problems in a 60L tank? I want rainbow sharks.
-
Are you wanting to put these all in the same tank??
yeap i am.
I am not aware of sharks or clown loaches having ever been bred in NZ. There are, however, a number of plec breeders in the fishroom.Might need to try the LFS, you're not likely to get 3 of those 4 from any "breeders" locally...If i cant find them i will go to redwood aquatics
-
what are you afterWhat he said ^^
to start the tank off i want to get Neons, sharks, clown loaches and pleco. ive had them all before but had to sell them.
oh and the other half wants guppies
-
I am after some tropical fish breeders in chch? ive found only one but they only have Neon tetras.

I have purchased some tank equipment from overseas. i consider it to be bought second hand because to send it back for warranty would not be worth it. i could be sending something that cost me $60 and it may cost $50 to send it back halfway around the world so it wouldnt be worth the effort or money. I have decided i will stick to the local shops and trademe
Lime in the water

Yes same here. we have had to replace our jug once in the 6 months weve been here. i thought that might happen with something in the aquarium.
Might be cheaper and easier to drive to Kaiapoi 20 mins away and get a large tank of water from there. i think that's about the only place in Canterbury where they have not put chlorine in the water. If not ill go for the rain water.
