  1. not much point in mixing floro and halide though just make sence to get big halides 250w or 150w (cost of bulbs is roughly the same)
  2. Mh are good fresh water people dont use them much in NZ i have a 70 watter lying around if you want it, the advantage is the number of bulbs that need replacing is lower 150w bulb as opposed to 4 flouro bulbs they are supposed to work out more effective re electricity usage vs actual light output if i ever setup a big fresh water tank i think id go Mh
  3. iff your worried just swap the boxer for another cleaner cleaners are lots of fun and not shy at all as pies said hes had all three, your tanks not as big and so they would run across each other more often = more chance for lunch
  4. i have purchased about 5 containers of this stuff from the LFS its about 6cm tall looks like lawn grass in a fish tank Brian at the gold fish bowl said it was a native but i failed to catch the name (he spouted out the scientific name) its a great little plant the first to pots i put in are starting to grow out (despite battling some nasty algae) and i just recently got some more ill take some picks of it, i will look stunning when it forms a lawn in the tank
  5. ewww muddle fish. :-? would leluepi go well with yellows??? (i know they are not malawi) what are some other possible tankmates??
  6. i was thinking a family of yellows and may some blues (electric) one male of each with three females, i love the blue yellow contrast
  7. My wife loves electric yellows, and so Ive decided to setup a malawi tank for her i was just after some advise before doing anything first of all a cant imagine a malawi setup been heavily planted???? substrate would be crushed coral and sand some kind of rock background with some wood here and there with the feature of the tank been the fish themselves what size would you all reccomend?
  8. nice buy for 45$, looks like a gold nugget to me
  9. are you doing anything with yours steve?? it seems like there are more eggs this time pies are there??

    i coudnt decide wether that peice was about unwated pest species or disease prevention, could have been alot clearer imo i dont think anything will happen to tell the truth
  11. they look scary :-? why the * in pleco??
  12. i thought mantis where the nasty ones?
  13. thats good to know, i figured youd be able to get the Gobys. Pies did you buy yours or did they come as hitchhikers??
  14. wiggle the food around on the surface a little
  15. how did you do the move?? did the gravel dry out?? did you use the same gravel???
  16. can we get pistol shrimp or are they a no no???
  17. i wouldnt worry about the noise as they are usually quite, i would look at a cannister filter as well
  18. 500 mill is alot of money to me
  19. ive noticed most of the pumps that ive used have started making noise after a while, worst one was the small viaaqua on my brothers skimmer
  20. try turning it on and then of again and see how that affects it
  21. i didnt want to hijack pies post 70$ from whitcoulls which is a bit more than what it would be from amazon, i can t order things on line as i dont have a credit card, if anyone else wants one or is getting one let me know as ill get on too. or if your ordering anything of amazon for that matter
  22. they are very tricky to raise caryl, :-? its a shame because they are soooo cool when they are little. there are a few of us that are going to try raising them but we are still sorting out the baby food
  23. I love your clowns colouring, it took me along time to find a mate for mine that is similiar in colouring to its pair. Out of curiousity how large are the female and the male that spawned (its hard to tell from the pics exactly)
