Selected the "illegal" choice ... as animal cruelty.

Can you lay a mesh down with sand over the top?
-
I don't know the flow rate of these tanks but presumably you can restrict them by using a sponge over the intake? I think Diana Walstad favors the use of hang on back filters which is probably not that much different.

Less than 3.7 L of water in that vase. We should all click on the "Report this listing" button.

Has anybody taken fish on a Jetstar flight?

Aviation security is a branch of govt so shouldn't matter which company you use ... not their problem. -
Interesting. Do they use it as is, or filter it ?
-
The manuals with dehumidifiers warn you that the water produced is not safe for drinking. What do you know that they don't?
-
Heh .. lived there for 6 months in the late 1970s!
-
Terrible! Were they special in some way regarding colour/shape? Ie. why were they bought from an importer vs a local breeder?
-
Or, consider the alternative proposition that a larger tank will cost you more in time and power in heating, cleaning, and doing water changes. I quite like the look of the Fluval Edge which is selling in the mid $200s ( or $300), but was a real bargain at $70 from some places clearing them out!

Looks like the answer depends on whom you ask. http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/c ... p?sid=2542 says up to 30 deg C. Probably won't live for 40 years though at that temperature.
-
What does the OP mean by tropical conditions? 22 deg C? 25 deg C ? or what?
-
It depends on what you want it for ... if it were going on my desk, I'd like something elegant

I looked at these once before Size: 60cm x 24.5cm x 24.5cm (36 Litres) Pump: 8W 600L/H Heater: 75W Lighting: LED 7.2W, touch switch, three light modes (blue and white bulbs can operate separately). The only adjustable flow rate filters I've seen have something which restricts the flow.

BTW, when penicillin was in short supply shortly after its discovery it was recovered from the urine for reuse as it is removed from the body by the kidneys. Nitrofurantoin is a common antibiotic used to treat urine infections. It is also excreted by the kidneys. Furan is nitrofurantoin. You guess the rest!
-
If I understand you correctly, this is to promote NZ's green image and lack of drugs in the foods we export. So, if furan2 is banned, then any such substances detected by overseas importers of our produce can be told that it's a false positive?
-
I used to have a problem with this, and I think snails took it out for me. What are your phosphate levels?
-
Winter time water temperature drops and fish stop feeding so much less waste being produced. Nitrates are only removed by water changes, microbes, and plants.
-
You probably don't even need the filter if your tank is planted adequately and you have only a few small tropical fish. Having a lid would also reduce the evaporative cooling cutting down the power costs involved in heating the tank.
-
I have read that you need a lid for Bettas because it's healthier for them to breathe moist warm air ...
-
API instructions say to shake vigorously for 1 min.

Erythromycin

Could be wrong but I think the Petstop in Gillies Ave stocks these tanks. Or at least something similar. You might be able to mitigate the isse of fish jumping by keeping the water level low enough. Though my understanding is that fish generally jump when the conditions are not good.

He's in the list of tank builders viewtopic.php?f=24&t=42159

Good luck with that. Normally these guys rush from job to job ... which is why they want the floor cleared before they arrive. If they have to move stuff for you, they charge.
