so there is no other lighting apart from the natural light?

If you don't have any luck with Jaxx HFF should post no worries, they ship all the time. double bagged and in a polystyrene box. They sell on TM heaps too

:slfg: yeah I was gonna warn you of that. Any luck in tracking one down yet?

:sml2: I was gonna suggest you come over here Tahlula *lurk*

its only a little nano planted tank - so doesn't really need to be fancy or pressurised. Id only considered the fluvial because i found it for $20USD. I really don't have any room in my budget for canisters looking at it long term really. I use a lot of yeast and sugar in bread making anyway - so its not like those are an extra cost for me, where as canisters are - so really DIY or the Nurtafin are better options. the Nutrafin system was going to be 40 something NZ including postage, which is only a little more than id spend buying stuff for diy anyway, and its a whole lot more preschooler investigation and accident proof.

hmm thats what made me wonder. the other thing i was wondering - if i buy the Hagen Nutrafin CO2 Natural Plant System from there (cheap as) can i just use my own mix of yeast sugar and water in it? I would DIY a co2 but i have a feeling a certain 3 year old of mine may make that plan fail epically -and prefer the look of it over diy too.

If i buy some fluvial mini co2 canisters form the states, are they allowed to be shipped here?

what i want to know is can you have a brine shrimp tank, and just feed a scoop to fishies every few days? like a sea monkey set up or something, and have the brine shrimp breed?
