has anyone found a good source other than christchurch stores/?

i like the photo shoped version better

havent asked the fish store, good excuse to go in this arvo. i've just never seen any even in auckland (jansens & hollywood)

hey where would one get a hermit crab or any crab for that matter?? i've heard differing opinions about the local hermits, i would like an interesting one as well like the emerald crabs ive seen online

yep one but its a four footer and i think Cyps might have something to say about that one (flashback to the pupy breast feeding fiasco) at the mo the only cost i have for setting up the perfect nano is a tank(nice dimante on two sides) new pump and the scwd (plumbing bits as well)

looking good ben the xenia looks healthy and the green botton polyps are nice

i noticed the same thing when setting upmine

im still looking at getting one, i have family in america though so i have to check the prices through them (oh and my wife said the baby needs some kindof small person bed so i have to buy one of those cot things :roll: ) thanks for the offer, ill probably get back to you

looking good fay your tank seems very peacefull

the tooth pick methid was definatly more successfull for me, but its good to kow that it'ii be growing back

well i just discovered this week an important thing about fragging xenia i had some xtra xenia that i was going to frag and give away, so i cut it off and put it on some rocks with rubber bands (i couldnt be bothered finding toothpicks) and left it in medium flow areas, well it looks like the toothpick part of the formula is quite important, be cause it was like a lamb's tail been banded off poped the xenia frags in the night leaving only little white stubs on the rocks out of interest will the little bits of white stalk be able to regenerate polyps and turn into normal xenia or will they die off??

how about a plastic mesh lid?

im not a fan of sea food either when i went to goat island it freaked me out to tell the truth, a snapper tried to bite a ring i had on a chain around my neck, and i took one of my gloves off and they saw white flashing at them and charged, scary fish

yeah sign me up but then youve got to buy a truck to put it on mind you i'd only have to go once a decade

i really like the look of a gentle moonlight, i wouldnt add it for any reason than the apperance and being able to enjoy the reef tank at night

guess which one will be (is) the female

put it on trademe and sellit but put down that buyer must "collect"

i was going to take one last night but didnt get around to it

not once its solidified

duh i didnt notice the little tankbred thing damn those are expensive i guess it depends on the type of fish

those arent aquacultered are they/?? i thought that the divers den fish on live aquaria where hand caught in the wild??? the tank bred fish (what i though would be considered aquacultured) are the same price if not cheaper on live aquaria (spingeri psuedochromis 48$ wild caught 39$ tank bred)

definatly i cant believe people can be so heartless as to poison fish and then sell them top die slowly, just to fill there pockets go acquaculture

another thing that astonished me was the amount of $ that the locals got from the deal 70 cents that seems a little rediculous, i'd be willing to pay a little more to ensure they got a fair cut and that the reefs were'nt getting raped

watched most of it. made me feel a little guilty about feeping marine fish i kind of have mixed feelings, the fact that fish #'s have dropped by 50% in some areas is just insane. on the other hand i dont feel guilty for the depletion of the fish but rather for the fact that there arent people smart enough involved to realise that there needs to be some form of regulation to maintain both eco system and environment also encouraged me to breed my little clown couple, and buy frags from people as to not have such a large impact on the reefs awww their so cute
