I have used this before with great success. I used to live in a flat where lots of cockroaches came in from outside.
-
There is a product called snail rid I think. Copper sulphate or something.. If you could house your fish temporarily in another tank and then blitz the main tank with snail rid and once treatment is done do a few big water changes and introduce fish again.. You might kill off some of your plants too though so if there are some plants you care about a lot then take those out too.
-
Yeah very nice.. well done!

Acarichthys heckelii
-
It drives me nuts when people use "of" instead of "have"
-
I bought mine from fishstreet.com it works...
-
It's gotta suck doing a 1700L tank build and then some other guy comes along and does a 2000L build at the same time!!! gee :sml1:
-
That's a good point Adrienne. A floor drain in a concrete slab is serious work though and would be very costly. But I was wondering David if you have thought of the insurrance side of things if something should happen? I guess it would be covered under normal house insurrance?
-
Well I've got 4 of those that regularly lays eggs So many things to do, so few tanks to do it in!
-
Looking absolutely awesome David! Very jealous! Hey that's a big fish in the last pic.. what are you feeding him? Massivore!!! :sml1: I will have to get on with breeding you an army of F1 Wild discus now! :nilly:
-
This still doesn't make sense to me.... Where else is the heat/power going to go if not into your water?
-
You can also submerge hardscape and hardy plants in a 1:20 bleach solution 30 sec to a minute. That will kill bba. But DON'T do this if you have any fish that might feed on the dying bba.
-
I don't think the API will help. Flourish excel works but can be an expensive affair (you overdose with co2, ask e.g. hollywoods for help on this) You can also get yourself a Siamese Algae Eater (SAE) or two.. they are quite good at keep bba down.

If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing! Well done!

50 new guppies coming please help where to place them

Did you buy fish without having room for them? Tsk tsk tsk :sage: -
That was a 240V plug in one with 28 little buckets so you can put in exactly the amount you want to feed each day (and different types of food) (not my picture)
-
Most feeders have a cycle of 24 hrs so will feed at least once pr day. I've had my 300L on auto feeder once pr day for 7 weeks before. Had a friend refill feeder and do a water change after 3.5 weeks. All went well
-
This requires a feeder that is not battery operated. Not many of those around.
-
Yep. As long as the tank is not overstocked
-
So you know for sure that you will never ever need an automatic feeder again? You can get an "el cheapo" feeder on TM for under $20 and it will probably last a lifetime
-
and then you need a return pump, media and plumbing and it might end up the same as David R's fx5
-
What's your noise tolerance?
-
Well not me but we have around a gazillian ducks in our driveway every night if you want to come around?
-
Gotta keep doing those water changes (get yourself a hose) and it will eventually come right. A pain that your tap water is pH 8 though.
-
Not fine.. Use pipe size the filter uses or bigger
