yup,great idea...all good with me!

ive txt the person,thanks chim

we have 6 footer cabinet n hood possibly looking for a home,steel tube frame clad with toung 'n' grouve polyurethaned pine,has two cupboards and a china cabinet in the center... PM if your interested

i have a whole load of them aswell,they are definatly a species,as they have bred true for a while,and also for the person i got them off. and definatly not kenyi,have them too,awsome fish they are... id say there a zebra of sorts,blue zebra? Tim

yep thats right rogan, mdf(medium density fibre board) is made from wood pulp and glue, all compressed and dryed,chip bord is the larger 'chips' of wood glued and compressed together. but be warned! both will swell and can crack tanks ,the poly can only even out so much,all it takes is a smal ship in the vanier and the water will get in. because of the way its made,when the water soaks in it returns the fibre to how it was before it got compressed. mat if you think there might be any give in anything,make sure that you add plenty of bracing!!,even go over board if you have any doubts,one center brace to me dosent sound enough for the whole stand. Tim

holy BEEEP!!! man thats a huge tank what are you planing on putting in it?or better still where are you planning on putting it? :bounce:

so do my apple snails suprisingly,they actually manage to get to it some how when i put it in there for them...

nice job there Tony!!, its looking very nice indeed Tim

yea been there before,its a good site....thanks karen i have bred the brown apples before so ill look after them the same way i guess,at the moment i have about 15 brown lil ones all about 5c in size...

pies leather is huge... you should see it

thanks guys yes antwan,they are in a tank alone where they eat bagfulls of plant material!(realy fast eaters) they hadn't been fed alot of plant for a while,and about2 days ago i trimed of all of the excess indian fern that grows out of the water and gave them all that,im thinking that they liked this and decided to breed after having a huge feed...but just a thought anyhow. thats great paul!,good to hear you have them breeding so fast thats one thing you are realy good at Tim

:bounce::bounce::bounce:WOOHOOO!!!!!!!:bounce::bounce::bounce: today as i get home from school i decide to go out to the shed and feed a few fish,n do a few things...and what do i see as i finish a water change on the apple snail tank,Eggs!!(yay). i now have a patch about 2.5cm long and about 1cm round glued to the glass above the water. they are bright red,and im absoutly stoked that they have finaly go their yellow little a***s into gear and have started breeding! oh and another cool thing my golden lineatus killis are hatching!had 1 fry hatch overnight...so sweet and sweet i have some cool happenings in the fish world Tim

same as with caryl, I've had no problems with wood or rocks which have come from beaches... all I do is give them a good scrub if they need it,waterlog the wood and rinse the rocks...easy as that.. just recently i have been seting up a very large amazon tank and the wood i have in there has made the water a nice brown'ish' colour,and IMO it looks realy good!!,gives the tank such a natural,amazon like aspect to it. Tim

:lol: yea i wish,you got 1 you want to give me then aye....

ill try get some larger pics up soon,the sump will be below the tank in the other room,plumbed in through the wall yea they will be mounted in the base consealed by the cupboards.. a small refuge/pod farm would be cool,ill have to see what i can do...
