    Can someone tell me about Ron the discus supplier.Where is he based,does he ship to chch,what are his prices like? Cheers
  2. what is euro bracing.Never heard of it before.Where can you buy it?
  3. what about perspex in 10mm.would that be rigid enough.It would be solid in all the right directions when used as bracing.Easier to deal with too.
  4. Hi guys, I have a 1200x600x600 tank in 10mm.When i bought it second hand the bracing was cracked.I'm only talking about the bracing around the top circumfrence.It was originally 6mm stuff.Would 6mm glass be sufficient to brace such a tall tank.I was thinking 10mm strips along the length of about 80mmwide.Also a 150mm wide brace in the centre,running back to front glass in 10mm. Any advice on where to get some cut for next to nothing....student ! Thanks
  5. Hey guys ,looking to set up a tank and wondered if any chch guys had an old sump they were wanting to off load. send me a pm,a pic and a price what you want for it and i'll get back to you. Falling that does anyone know what a sump would cost to get built new.It's for a 1200x600x600 tank. Cheers

    Yeah,definately dont breed the deformed ones.I got 8 off amazonia as well.They growing really fast.One is a runt and one is deformed.I only paid for 5 so i'm not too worried about 2 runts. I'll try putting some pics up sometime.

    Yeah,from recollection my old mans tank had two laminated sheets of about 25mm.Anyone know what price a sheet of this size would cost?

    So of all those people that bought altum angels off Phill at nz discus a few months back.What do they look like now.Any chance of some pics. Did they turn out to be peruvian altums ?Or do we actually have proper Altums now in large numbers in nz.

    Can anyone give me some advice on glass types suitable for aquariums.My father built a huge 3 meter x1000x1000 concrete tank for his marines ages ago.It was lined with fibreglass etc with one big sheet of glass somehow stuck to the front. I'm thinking about a similar tank for my new house.What type of glass would suit that situation.How much would i look at paying for a sheet 3000x1000 aprox. What would be the best way of sealing the concrete or bricks it will be built from inside? This would be for a fresh water tank with discus etc. Who would be a good person to approach for glass prices? Thanks
  10. Does anyone use those boyu pumps on their tanks.How noisy are they.I'm wanting to use a 30l /min job on my 430 l tank.Would this be over kill.Do they come in smaller sizes? Any advise?

    SAME HERE!

    sorry to hear about your altum.How big was she?Any old pics of her and/or of the fry?
  13. I have a few questions about this system. 1.What type of tubing do you use.Is it special tubing or just some regular clear tubing that can be picked up from mitre 10 etc. 2.Can you explain the solenoid part of the system.Dont know anything about solenoids.Where can i buy them and how much are they? cheers
  14. I was wondering.I have seen these co2 tanks on trade me with a wee tap on the top.If you just connected the outlet to a thin pipe and a diffuser,and used the tap to control gas output.Would the tap control the gas output adequetly.I just want a basic simple co2 system.Thought this might be an easy way .What do you think?
  15. so what are we looking at cost wise to set up a system like this?Also what are the on-going costs of the system.
