If you could see me rite now, you would see me playing an invisible violin....Poor you cutting your self on glass

I just did a 25% and will do one a day for the next few days. My africans love huge WC as well

Well said

The tank has been established for around 3 months now, this may sound bad but I am not overly worried about the Ammonia and Nitrite, as when I put the numbers on here I was on the side of caution for dodgy reading of charts by me( does not mea I am not going to do anything about it however). The Nitrate is the one that I thought was high to start with. Definitly not over feeding, I feed normaly every 2nd or sometimes 3rd day. The tank is planted and runs a DIY co2 at the moement but it needs to be recharged( thanks for reminding me) I have purchesed a pressurised kit and I should have that in the next 6 weeks to try and keep that part as stable as possible. This is basicly my first real attempt to branch out of the African cichlid lifestyle as well as the first smaller tank and planted tank set ups that I have done, so that part of it is still a learning curve for me. Thanks for your comment and input Kyle

I am going to a picnic today as well, except mine is the teddy bears picnic :gigl:

I took on G.Eagle on the cricket feild today.... I would like to add, I got him out! So dispite his team beating us, I am one up on him :rolfl:

Yeh a spam on my personal email account. sorry to confuzzel the fishy world

Corys have that in there nature, not so much with the algae eater and shark, my tank was 5 foot 700 Ltr. I wouldnt risk it in a 125Ltr

I got a similar response when I was telling them how much frozen blood worms are in Nelson compared to in there shop

Will do this afternoon. thanks

so the filter doing its job cause's nitrates to be high?

I found it on cichlid forum. apparntly it is real, but it is well and truly behind date it was ment to be completed

Redwoods is super cool! I went to animates last time I was down there, I wasnt super excited with it compared to the other two, but still worth the look. There is another one as well but the name eludeds me

I have kept them together as well. the scraped all the time but was nothing more than I get from africans. the tank was plenty big enough for heaps of caves so there was always a place to retreat. I used to love watching the Algae eater get ready to pounce, reminded me of a cat hunting a bird :slfg:

I just got a spam mail from a sender called "Ira" :rolfl: :rolfl: :rolfl: the subject line was far from PG :sml1: :sml1:

sweet, will get onto lowering the ph this weekend. What causes the nitrate to be high?

definitly wait till you go to chch, if the shops down your way are anything like up here chch will be a fine option.

This is super cool http://www.poseidonresorts.com/poseidon_main.html

Onevia's are cool but sil80s are better. and type x !drool: !drool: !drool: !drool: :love: !drool: !drool:

why dont you find a reputable breeder and ship them down, or something similar. If i payed for a pure fish I would want a pure fish, not some hybrid mongrol.no point in shelling out $20 or so bucks for a hybrid fish worth nothing.

ahhh I see, makes more sense now :facepalm:

PH 7.2-7.6 Nitrite 0-0.25 Ammonia 0-0.25 Nitrate 40-80 What do these numbers say to you? I seldomly check my water so have no idea what means what. I just figure the lower the numbers the better. Except for ph depending on fish species. This tank is planted, and my first or second actual attempt at it, so odd numbers maybe a result of that

Gezzzzz, now your asking the hard questions. not sure but will check them all later once the little one gets out of the pool

Hahaha, nah no boom. clearly there was no match in the gas tank

sigh :ske:
