  10. you do live in blenheim tho haha i was down there for around 3 months at the start of the year and then another 2 months around july with my boss helping to get the fiber to the home project done on time and i have to say for winter it was bloody nice we were in shorts and singlets most days! evin when it was raining lol so im not really suprised your pond is warmer than your tank haha
  11. too true trademe is shocking for that sort of thing i dont think your mate was trying to fool anyone! and im definately still keen on his fish haha any way this has gone well :smot: what are the future plans for your cacatuoides do you plan on breeding them?
  12. gutted.. i really want some like the ones in the pics of the super reds!
  13. haha yeap yoghurt and smothies are whats happening at the moment. they said i was going under but i didnt actualy fall asleep untill he had finished pulling out the first tooth lol was not a fun experiance
  14. youch indeed. well i needed the btm two out as they were causing me problems and dentist said one of the top two had a hole in it so would need to come out as well at some point so he said he would do them all at once so it was over with. regretting it now tho pain killers (codine tramadol panadol nurofen) dont affect me unless i take quite a few (3 codines 2 tramadols and 2 of each of the panadol/nurofen every 4 hours) but because i cant eat at the moment when you take that many pain killers on an empty stomach it makes you sick so have also been spewing all morning lol so much fun...FML :sick: :sick:
  15. oh true true. tell him to sell and ship them to me :slfg: my tank needs them inside of it haha btw youve got some :nfs:
  16. had all 4 wisdom teeth ripped out yesterday been lying in bed drugged up and feeling sorry for myself ever since. thats me for the weekend :facepalm: :facepalm: :sick:
  17. you wouldnt happen to be the one on trademe selling the super reds would you?
  18. its just the tank is still settling in so a little gutted as the plants had just started really getting decent growth!! so frustrating lol any hints on where i can source a decent reg in nz? like somewhere i can go in to the store and buy one so if anything happens i can tank it back in and get a replacement straight away insted of having to wait 2 weeks haha
  19. it looks like a different regulator going by the pictures of the ones he has on trade me :dunno: just had a email back from fish street its being sent out today but could take up to 2 weeks to arrive :tears: trying to talk my gf into being the shiz and buying one from valray for me haha
  20. i have been watching your thread sam haha i was wondering if it was the same regulator. i suppose it surves us right for buying cheapo asian crap haha. i emailed them at 4.30 and got a email back at 5.30 saying if i pay $5 postage they will send me a new unit so ive payed it hopefully it will get here quick sharp but in the mean time i shall cut back lighting hours and stop using ferts i did try to make a temporary home made unit but it dosent seem to be working haha. was also looking at just buying another reg from valray he said he can have it here by thursday and considering i need one for the small tank anyway that might well be my best option.
  21. got home today and disaster has struck! i think the solenoid on my co2 regulator has fried itself its making a hell of a racket and is very very hot. problem is i brought it from fish street so have emailed them but who knows how long it will be for a replacement what should i do in the mean time in regards to lighting hours and ferts??
  22. good to hear. hows work with the boys? still a bunch of slackers :thup: yeah i thought they might have been yours on trade me. fw's the way to go! im up to 3 tanks now haha wanting to set up another but no room in the house and anna wont let me haha
  23. yeah dave! hows picton/Blenheim treating ya? tank looks good man
