  1. Are the indian fern still available by any chance?
  2. Let me know if you still need any. I've got quite a bit here. Am in Auckland =)
  3. Saw Animates doing a special - $6.50 each. But if there are any breeders out there, I'd be interested too.
  4. This was my experience a few months ago... until I was told that I had to shake the test bottles until my arms were sore. Something about crystals having to break up before it could test properly. Now, if you're having 0 nitrates, it could be 1. The cycle isn't complete and you're still going from ammonia to nitrite, but the bacteria colony for nitrite to nitrate isn't sufficient yet. 2. The test may not be accurate (not shaken enough or potentially expired tests?) 3. If doing huge water changes and water is not dechlorinated, it may be causing the bacteria in the filter and tank to die, hence restarting or delaying the cycle. Personally I use water straight from the tap when doing water changes but I only do 15%-20% at the very most so it's usually diluted enough that the bacteria aren't too adversely affected.
  5. Sounds like a plan mate. My tank has fairly large gravel but all rounded with no sharp edges and the coolie loaches enjoy digging into them whenever I see them in the morning. Hopefully they don't compete too much for the food if I do decide to get cories =D.
  6. Hey JJ, hopefully it goes well with the breeding! Will be looking to you for cories in the future =)
  7. Happy to pay for postage if anyone has them.
  8. Watching videos like these make me 100% sure that I don't want a pleco lol.... they'll probably outgrow my tank >.<
  9. Does anyone have them? I'm thinking about using it to carpet a 200l tank that's 900mm long. Thanks!
  10. Alright so quick update, have removed all the gravel from the tank, took it outside and cleaned it up. Doesn't look like there's any visible cracks. Filled it with water to see where the leak is even though I have a suspicions where it is. Water seeps out real slow so it might be a small hole in the sealant? Another lesson, never use soil in an aquarium.... fking mess it is...
  11. hoping that it's a sealant problem... fingers crossed... >.<
  12. Good call, emptying it right now but I need more buckets dammit.... If I find the crack, what can I do?
