Where did the cardinals come from, i lost 10 a month or so ago to, did not cause problems with any other fish.
-
I wouldn't have thought the bacterial levels would be a problem from the cylinder. Some older houses have copper pipes and copper in their cylinder however i think these levels would be so low it would not cause a problem. Personally i have used water from my cylinder for my marine tank with no problems, you would see problems with the corals before fish but never had an issue.

Best place for a room, get some poly and wrap with plastic and your away..
-
Would depend on how much you change.
-
You would need a thermostat, just by standard heaters.

I am planning on using a large air pump connected to 15mm pvc pipe, then drill holes above each tank and add a 6mm rubber gromet and push in some 6mm airline tubing to go to each filter. Found this to be a good option as some of the gang valves can get a bit dear. The gromets cost about 40c from memory plust the cost of pipe and fittings to the pump. Box or sponge filters can be brought from a shop
-
The tanks im doing at the moment will be all filtered using sponges and box filters with a central air pump, cheapest way of doing it to. This way along with water changes will be just as good as other types of filtration.

The problem i had is that they were eyeing up but not hatching. I added a good bunch of micro worms to the eggs in a small vial, put in pocket and a good number hatched within the hour. I wouldn't put them into the main egg container as the worms could drop and stuff the water.
-
No problem will have to see if i can find some of the other one then. Thanks
-
Thanks, do you know about the furan 2?
-
Do you have the dose rate for either option?
-
Eheim have a liquid doser jsut for this. Otherwise dosing pumps that are used for marine tanks would be ideal.
-
This may also help, is related to saltwater tanks but could be used on freshwater. Take a look at compare the two recipes and the the Alk part for both. http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2006- ... ndex.php#2

The tank may not be perfectly square so 2mm might not be enough, can a suggest you do them on a slight angle and maybe make the dividers from thin plastic so they can bend in an arc from fron to back thus holding themselves in place.
-
Been looking at a few sites from all over but would like to know your picks?
-
The one that did the tank at Wellington airport i think?
-
Water marks can be a carbonate based type mark. You can used a light acid or a brand new sharp razor blade.
-
You could try putting the eggs in a small pill container say 20 - 30ml. Add some micro worms and about 1/2 full with water. Put them in your pocket and carry on with whatever you were doing. Check every 30mins or so for fry. Don't leave more than about 4 hrs, if still not hatching put back where they came from. Worked for me, was the only way i got any scheeli out.
-
Advantages You can shape it easily Weight Better Clarity on the tanks that require thick glass/acrylic You can build much larger tanks compared to glass that would max out at about 900 - 1000tall. and it doesn't chip if you hit a corner on the garage floor Downside It scratches easy, even when your not touching it
-
Where do you live? Will also depend on what station is running. Don't know of any station that get ph round 8, Could there be an error with the kit?
-
6.8 - 7.5 could be the difference in a good and bad test kit. Ph is pretty hard to get an accurate result at the best of times. Keeping it stable would be more important IMO. A bit of shell would be fine, or do more water changes.
-
No and no.
