  1. Wgton to Auckland is currently $29 night flight from Air NZ. But they won't let you parachute out half way there. Otherwise, standby from Auckland to Napier is about $55, and then a bus from Napier to Hastings is about $4. You need to walk from the Napier airport to the nearest bus stop in Napier which I think is the 15 bus route ( Ahuriri )
  2. Sounds like you're applying double standards here.
  3. And what has it done to Nitrate levels?
  4. What exactly is their background in medical science? http://theconversation.edu.au/no-youre- ... inion-9978
  5. If you keep it as a pet, be on the look out for a dawn raid by police for the possession of protected wildlife.
  6. A quick google seems to say that Pimafix is also an oil, so will sit on the water surface and likely have the same effect as melafix. As said above, a picture would help .. no friends who have internet bandwidth available?
  7. Perhaps just as well. Melafix is said to be dangerous for fish with a labyrinth organ as it can interfere with its function.
  8. If you can cover the cost of postage, I can spare a handful which is all you need .. though I used a 7-Up bottle and not Coke. PM or email me.
  9. http://www.allcareponds.com.au/item.toy?iid=61259 Which is slightly closer. How much are you after?
  10. So how's it working? Got lots of green algae now? And if so, can you reuse it and feed it to algae eaters?
  11. viewtopic.php?f=28&t=57078g
  12. I just took this video to show my effort. Copied another guy.

    prawn time

    Had another meal last night of prawns and have all the shells sitting to be put out in the compost. But ... wonder if I can chuck a few into the tropical tank as a source of calcium etc?
  14. Side note: 1000 cubic metres is 1000 IBCs. Makes it easy to measure the water you're taking so that you don't go over your daily limit.
  15. Sorry, it's a NZ culture joke.
  16. Will you be using any number 8 fencing wire?
  17. You see oil slicks around the boats when they are berthed at the wharf. But I'm guessing it doesn't really matter as it's a surface contaminant, and if you only use the water below the surface, it should be good.
  18. but the oil slicks seem to stick around ...
  19. Is collecting water from the wharf any good? Or do the boats discharge nasties into the water rendering the water unusable?
  20. Perhaps one needs a trained karearea to help keep the herons away ?
  21. Don't water purification systems with UV lamps and micro sized filters cost about $2k?
