Right plant geeks I need some advice on lighting. I am about to change my main display tank from big nasties to planted. Tank is 2200 (L)x500 (W)x 680 (H). I am planning on using the EI fert system as I have had good success with it in the past. Plants will be various swords, crypts, anubias, maybe a stem or two for good luck, barclaya and other plants I am desperately looking for, I am hopping to get a carpet plant going. Currently is has two Current Satelite Plus unit over it, but I am unsure if they will be strong enough for plants. I am willing to go MH as I have two 4 foot units currently, but I would rather avoid it. Any light suggestions?

So finally I have established that tourists have nothing to do with fish importation. And the fact we are so far away from everything, so freight it not cheap.

So what on earth do tourists have to do with importing fish and the increasing fees??

Are tourists importing fish?

How do tourists and fish importing go together?

You are off the pie run list! :roll:

How is your submission coming along Reef?

I am wondering what people's favorite family of fish are? For me it is the Altolamp(xxxxxx) family. What is yours?

Crypts just melt because you look at them sometimes. The change of environment will most likely effect them for a while, but they will bounce back.

I have been considering getting a group, but am still not sure yet.

Or set up another tank for your shrimp you want to keep and keep them in a species designed tank and then get a heater for this tank and go full tropical.

Have you had a read of some of the older threads on here about ply tanks? I was considering it a while back and found a few with lots of info.

I feed mine novotab and novo fect they also eat any thing the mid water fish don't eat and I treat with bloodworms and and prawn from time to time. They are not picky at all.

That is a shame, I have the day off now.....

Dam, I may need to get an hour or so off 'work'

So CHCH and Nelson on the same day, one in the morning and one in the arvo?

Ahhh what date and time in Nelson?

Hey dude I think you have cone to the right place.

I suspected something similar.

Dam! How do they handle the temp fluctuations in summer in the wild? Or do the rivers and streams not raise that much?

Hi there, enjoy your new hobby! :thup:

In summer I have found temp from my hose to tank is pretty similar so not such a big deal, but in the winter I normally do more smaller changes instead of bigger one offs to help with the temp.

Oh so true. All the rest of what Caryl said is very true as well.

Flourish comprehensive should be okay.
