  1. after a quick drive around town I would think I saw close to 50 trees down or badly damaged.
  2. 3) whatfish would you reccomend about 200 neons each tank
  3. Just had one here lasted some 4 hours. Lots of trees down here and a bit of roof damage, Pit Stop's roof came off and hit the powerlines above thus our side of town was powerless.
  4. had played with the stills version a few years ago
  5. my cf1200 is rated at 35w but the powermeter puts it at 24w draw.
  6. I was thinking of drilling a hole in one of the top corners and attaching another barb fitting and running a 6mm airline across to the intake side of the CF1200 to pull any air bubbles out of the top of the siphon, it would also make the the whole think dead easy to start/restart.
  7. That is nicely made, I could see that with two exit pipes on the outside section a lower one for feeding a sump and a higher one as an safety/overflow.
  8. The last lot of bugs I collected had them in (chandelier looking critters) and I also got a hydra or two, man those things are neat.
  9. it's definitely not the mushroom you make a cup of tea from
  10. Safeguard? what's one of them? :roll: Well there is about 70 of spare capacity in the tank, that should give 2 days of safety. The silicon line came off the barbed fitting yesterday while I was out for a few hours, glad that that was outside the window.
  11. p44, any better? Before After ps learn how to shoot in RAW EDITED to include the url to the full pic
  12. I have finally got around to making an automatic water changer made with a drip feed to the tank (second pic links to a video): with an partial syphon (is that the correct term?) overflow: at the moment it is running at about 15cc in 45 seconds, so about 28-30 l a day going into a 350-400 l tank. Edit: just timed 200ml in 10min so that works out to 28.8 l/24h And yes I know the glass needs a good clean :sick:
  13. What I meant to say on the first page was congrats Simon I hope that you have a fast 30 or 50mm prime lens. there is nothing better than a good prime in that range for portraits of kids
  14. Anzac bay was where we got our water/fish from when we had a SW tank as a kid. Very nice little bay.
  15. times like these you need PhotoRec, has saved many an oops moment here, both mine and others'.
  16. that is the weirdest looking fish that I've seen in a while, is it fresh or salt water, temperate or tropical?
  17. I would suspect that it was (more) chlorine in the water that killed some of the bacteria in the filter. Carlos & Siran, are you feeding the bacteria in the filters under the porch, without food they will die and will then need cycling or other [live] media added
  18. The tank would make a nice riffle aquarium for my torrent fish and a koaro (or a few of each )
  19. do it Ox heart is one of the best meats that created. Get it fresh and slice into about 10-15mm thick steaks and cook as such, lightly salted and peppered. Liver is also very nice, if fresh and not over cooked.
  20. That is why ryanjury mentioned 2 CF2400, about the sane all up cost and if (god forbid) something went wrong with your filter there is alway the second one still running. For a tank that size I think I would consider a sump.
  21. Same as my favoured one atm. As I was saying in the other thread, I have my airline glued on like this. I also have a square (ish) mouth net or two, one a $2 shop one bent square and a long expendable one. That is a good idea, I must get one.
