i just wash it thourghorly and then add it to the tank when ive removed the old gravel takes awhile to settle but it eventually does

yea thats what im meaning do the silicone how i said then add the add glass patch over top then silicone the edges.again best to sand edges aswell as gives a good surface to stick to

first thing to do is sand the top of the cracks with fine sand paper to remove build up then use a glob of silicone on each join of the cracks only do this lightly and smooth it out the add the silicone to middle and then back over the joins and should be sweet

did you do any research before buying it?

+2 full of drama and boring stuff.only one tank that had freshwater so far and was just a 20 sec talk about the fish african cichlids.interesting but not interesting enough as the crap comes with it

cool cheers for that antwan im hoping to do a tank like yours so hope their nice fish and hopefully a pair

Really nice rcon cant wait to get my hands on sumthing like this :nfs:

got them anyways hopefully turn out to be a pair

i know bolivians are quite dull just wondering if these will brighten up with good food etc worth buying at $27?

so these ones are just the common less colorful type.the common standard?

ok cheers ira so its a common name used for them

is there differnces between german blue ram?or is this a german blue ram it looks to be quite dark

i geuss by low tech im meaning what you have caryl i just want a basic amazon kind of them with rams or whatever but have no idea how to go about this. im africans so all others besides guppies angels discus and goldfish im new too. would be great to have a set up like antwans ram tank

Hi I'm going to be doing my first low tech planted tank and I'm planning on putting dwarf cichlids few tetras and something else I'm basically wanting a Bio type and can get driftwood etctank will be standard 2foot and lighting is a brand-new AA. PL mix light it's very bright I have Java fern but am useless with plants so any help would be great so what do I basically need?besides heater and all that?

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=485667530 thinking about getting these and making my first real planted tank and Bio typeany advise on what they actual are would like to breed them

The way to manipulate that gene is the albino form and color it with snakeskins red damsels,flames, etc to bring the mettalics out and that outrageous color have made magentas before but not great ones was very hard

if it was magenta would be showing signs of deeping purple not recessing purple.caserole would love to see your set up sounds great.i created a strain a few years back not sure if they still around but it was tuxedo platinums and these were the best quality around then.but i think the best would be to get a strain u want and stick to it its alot of work.the main thing is caserole is that these may not even be imports and im assuming you started with imports then worked your way into creating your own strains as i did Magentas are a sub color from a form of albino thats where they originally were created and to reveal that magenta you could use like you said a blonde red tail but i think they want to revert back to full platinum?? with the guppies we have the hardest are the brightest to revert but blue/black moscows dragonheads etc are the easiest as they hold the best genes make sure u post some pics of the guppies u have caserole

the guppies we get inz nz have been mainly sourced from germany im talking about high qualitys eg moscos yellow flames etc.the rest are mainly singapore exports and are mixed types they dont care what they ship to us as there main good stock heads to usa etc but with selective breeding you can get back to original forms. Its a learning curve but u get there in the end good luck Ps this isnt magenta it will be a red tuxedo mixed in with a platinum so trying to use blonds wont get the colors you wont it will only increase the pigments as they carry more reds than most.closest to albinos.go with a white tailed female no blue or reds and it should revert itself

it will still be cycling mate.

how old is your tank by that i mean how long has it been set up?

suprised it even got that far into the auction without it being shut down.whats the most likely scenario to happen to the seller?

depending on your location i might be able to point u in the right direction

already bred from him i am currently selling some on tm He might be up for sale in near future but is mainly my display fish

cheers joe

just found fireznez old pic looks the same as this
