    shiping fish

    Just do not tell them you have them or you may end up having to pay more.
  2. So around a month ago, my seemingly happy and healthy red lotus decided it wanted to melt away. &c:ry I had read online that if you leave the surrounding area alone they can grow back. I had a look in my tank yesterday while doing water test and what not and found this I am going to try and take a photo most days to keep track of the growth rate of it. Hopfuly this time it does not melt away on me.
  3. Very good reading!!!! Is it better being read on a touchscreen unit or a PC/laptop?
  4. I ended up getting 09, is a good game
  5. Defintly agree with more Cuckoos and a big group of dems to start out with
  6. I knew 30 was around the mark, but wasn't sure if that changed for the amount of plants. Thanks
  7. How full are your tanks with plants? I am not planning on full over load of plant look, almost a more is less type of effect. So would this then affect the amount of Co2 I need to disolve?
  8. That looks nice and tidy! So the Co2 enters your system at the highest point of the diffuser? So essentialy that's an inline diffuser, that works on the return not the intake?
  9. If I keep the water level above the drop, then in theory this should keep the agitation too a minimum and then no need to modify the sump. Does that sound correct? I have been looking into the diffuser and I just can't seem to work rex grigg set up, with the way I have that chamber. Can anyone enlighten me on that please?
  10. It may of been Simon, I emailed him breifly about this a few weeks ago. There is bound to be plenty of people who have done something like this, that will pitch in on do's and do nots
  11. I have never heard of that, but I will look into it. At a rough guess I would think 700x400x400. That is 3 chambers, will allowence for glass, gaps and other things
  12. That was a good read, thanks! Yip that was the question. So just the diffusser in that chamber will do the job?
  13. Not sure how big it is. I will measure it when we put it back in his tank
  14. Its time for a new adventure, besides I still have the Tang tank for my African needs
  15. Yip, I just posted a new thread
  16. I am looking after my mates cichlid's at the moement. I really like this guy
  17. Tank: 1200Lx700Hx600W Filtration: 1000Lx500Wx500L sump Lighting: Arcadia "3" series 2x 150W Metal Halide and 2x 30W Fluros Substrate Looking for a tan/brown substrate too mimic the Xingu river Ferts JBL root balls, pressurised C02, mix n match between Seachem products and E.I dosing, depending on what works better for me. Scape idea A few big bits of wood as a centerpiece, some swords around the back, small wood tangles, rounded rocks, and a low growing foreground plant or two. I am also going to try and grow some plants up the top in an emmersed or hydroponic style growing out the back of the tank. Plan I am planning on doing a biotype tank. I am looking at getting all the fish and plants from the same riverin the Amazon , I have spent a bit of time doing a bit of research and have realised that the river I want to base this on, has very little plants in it. So I have decided to keep the plants from the Amazon and the fish from Xingu. Stocking 1 group of dwarf plecs, 1 group of corydoras ( If I can find a type to fit), 2 differnt types of tetras both around 30 fish in each, 1 trio of Apisto's ( If I can find some to fit), maybe a group of Discus if I can fit them into this biotype. If not is there any suggestions of a mid swimmer larger fish that would fit? First Issue Running the sump with C02. Looking left to right (1-4) chamber 3 has holes at the top too allow the water to drop into chamber 2, this worked great for the cichlid tank, but I am thinking it will not work for the C02 set up. Any ideas on how to change this for it to work? Second Issue I am planning on putting the C02 in the return for the tank, how do I do this? What device will do that job for me? Third Issue What do I fill the sump up with? Chamber 4 will be wool ontop of balls like the picture, chamber 3 Poret. I am having great results in my Tang and Pleco tank,so I have decided too use it in this tank as well. Heaters and return pump in chamber 1, which leaves chamber 2 empty. Any ideas on what I can fill this with for buffering or extra filtration? Thats all for now, but I am sure there will be more as I go on
  18. I have read that from one year to another they don't change that much. Which is why I am asking, to work out what one would be the better to own
  19. I have never used the store, I have had connection issues in the past when playing online so I have never really bothered since then. But I may just have a look into it.
  20. No, too fat for move. Unless you make a super good recommendation for it then I may well consider it while shopping for a golf game
  21. I am looking at getting a golf game for my PS3, but I am torn between every edition of the Tiger Woods series. Do anyone have a good review/prefered edition that will help me make up my mind? Thanks
