Squirt

Hi all, I'm looking for T5/T8/LED lighting around 30-45cm long. Please PM me if you have anything lying around not being put to use! Thanks

Well.... Its been a long time since I've been here, but I've finally settled into my studies at Otago and have just bought myself an Aquanano 40! I plan to make this a low tech planted tank (still deciding on plants) and hope to add a few dwarf puffers into the tank once I get it started up (probably in a month or so once exams are over). I've bought myself some fluorite (just wondering if I can cap this with sand?). Also if anyone knows where to get some good driftwood or rocks around Dunedin please share! Stay tuned, progress pictures to follow......

Thanks Ron, I believe that is what it says now, after a lot more research and asking a few friends (parents) confirming it :slfg: haha I hope thats not going to be me! *why I'm doing the research now*

Haha, it might I'm not sure. But I think this in Enshin karate's "kanji" I haven't found anything else about it. It's on the front of every Gi and I'm thinking about getting it tattoo'd soon (another member of our club has it tattoo'd on his chest already, plus our Sensei has a kyokushin version on his chest). I've given the Enshin site an email, so I'll see what they come back with

:bounce: Or does anyone know where I could get this translated?

Hi guys, I've had one person translate this for me, and I would love if a few more people would translate it for me, just so I know I'm on the right page: I believe it is Japanese, but a Chinese friend could read it, so either or Thanks in advance :sage:

Hi guys, Last week I did a remodel of my tank and figured it had been about 8 months since my last filter clean, so I got a bucket full of tank water and put my biological media into that bucket and hosed out the sponges and stuff. A week later I decided to test the water and Ammonia is about 3.0ppm nitrite and nitrate 0. Obviously signs that I've killed the bacteria in the filter. Tank isn't terribly overstocked: 530L, a red eared slider, 5-6 minnows, a couple of danios, a few tetras and a flying fox. I only feed every 1-2 days and only as much as he eats within a few minutes. I don't appear to have lost any fish, and no tell tale signs of ammonia poisoning which is weird, fish seem happy no red or bleeding gills. So what should I be doing? Just regular water changes until it cycles again? Thanks in advance Matt

Sorry I can't really help you with the photography side but heres a pretty cool facbook page with some nice shots. https://www.facebook.com/UnderwaterMacroPhotographers I think there is a group associated with it and it might be worth a shot to join and ask some people there?

I realise that it is his job to be teaching these students. I just don't want to see their potential wasted. He said today that he will be running tutorials three times a week now, which I think is absolutely great. I will still be attending these tutorials to see if I can offer my help and knowledge Thanks guys :thup:

Thanks! I'll bring in some of my sample papers which I used for revision and breakdown step by step to see what I'm doing and thinking at each step of the question. I'm not sure whether I will have time to type out and print off notes each week for them though, our class does not really get all the notes as some times he just hands us a book to read and take notes from. Personally I hate it. It took me close to 35 hours in the holidays to get a complete set of notes from the book. Then you actually have to study the content as well. So I'm faced with the dilemma of being a "book teacher" but not having enough time to make complete sets of notes for these students. Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated as well

Thanks Sophia! These students did put the effort in, they just didn't pass. Like I said these students are quite intelligent, I'm not sure if it was the teachers teaching ways or them just not understanding the content but I'll ask them tomorrow. I even found a Bruce Lee quote for it “Don't fear failure. — Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.”― Bruce Lee But yeah, the "disagreement" with my physics teacher resulted in us not going through the papers at lunchtime (he said the previous day that he would go through them tomorrow lunchtime)... So I might have to organise with the other physics teacher if he can help me out with that :thup: Thanks again

Hey guys Bit of a long story behind this but to keep it short: Earlier this week I had a bit of a "disagreement" with my physics teacher which resulted in a little challenge to teach some of the students who failed and were withdrawn from the electricity paper. So I gladly accepted, and here I am tutoring physics :smln: These students are 17-18 years old (same age as myself) and are quite intelligent students, as most of them I know personally. My grades in the school exams for physics were two excellences in mechanics and waves and a merit in electricity (one point of excellence) and were the top grades of the class matched by one of mates. I'm pretty sure I know most of the content, plus I have support from some other students and teachers if I need it :bounce: So this past week, I've organised a place and time to run these tutorials with the students. And for tomorrows tutorial I have prepared some notes on capacitors (as our teacher normally just hands us a book to read, take notes from the book and do questions from the book) with graphs and diagrams and the like. I plan to go through the notes and make sure that they understand what is in front of them. Then I think I'll just work through some questions step by step. I have bought a few packets of lollies which they can munch on :spop: But I really want to encourage them to ask questions, like why does that happen? How does this occur? etc. :dno: So really I'm just after some tips for teaching. Like what has helped you (currently/previously) in learning? Why has that helped you? etc. Any help is greatly appreciated :thup: Thanks in advance Matt
