I think the best place to drill a couple of holes will be on the right hand side. I don't it is neccassry thou. Aquaone filters are pretty good, in my opinion..
-
I would use it. I would give it a rinse/soak in tap water over night and be very smug with myself...
-
Oh man, that was bad luck. Never had such a thing happen to me. Fairly unusual for sure. Blimmin bad luck. Don't give up.

I find that it usually takes approximately two and a half weeks for it to cycle away. I always loose some fish, about one third.

In my opinion, white spot comes with new fish. A bare tank, with no substrate is necessary for successful treatment. White spot cure, works for me. Just about always,at higher doses than recommended. It is such a pain in the proverbial, that I will not, under any circumstances, put un quarantined fish in my main tank. Bristlenose, die wholesale, if left untreated.

WoW! Cool...

If you get a pair, in no time at all there will be fifty. If you get two males, one will be bullied. Two females would be nice, I think? :-)

No, i didn't have any to hand. Would have been a good idea too! Next time..
-
i would have only one bristlenose.

Today I had a crack at making that gel fish food. First I checked out a couple of Utube vids. Then i went to the local supermarket and got a hoki fillet, some seafood assorted mix stuff with mussels, squid, and salmon bits, and i got a half of beef heart, and some gelatine. Threw the lot in a blender, boiled some water and spooned in the gelatine. Mixed it all together and put it in the fridge. It worked like a charm! My fish are really into it! Yay for Utube!

Hi! Massive ponds eh! How cool. What you got in them?
-
Try pumping some fresh air into it if you don't already. I have a tank with a close fitting hood, that does not allow for the proper circulation of fresh air into it. An airstone on a little pump improves the fish , and the filter almost immediately. Vacuum the substrate again. It will be some simple thing you've overlooked.

You could try tweezering in a few grains of osmocote or similar on end of your tank and see if it makes a difference?
-
Snail population quickly explodes , then seems to settle down. Give it a bit of time. Very hard to eliminate them. I gave up, after a fairly determined effort. I think they might even be beneficial in certain situations.

Is that a botia in there? if it is, they're bad medicine at night for your discus.
-
nice tank! cool fish.
-
If it was me, i would get about 50 more neon tetras for a start!
-
filter not up to the job. too much light. it should not smell bad. vacuum the substrate. feed less.
-
That is incredibly cool man! Something to be very proud of... Way cool!
-
That is almost identical to the tablets I have been using. I have had only good results, no problems of any kind. I broke them up with a couple of pairs of pliers, because i thort they were a bit big, and just placed them under the sand around the plants. Mad growth, worked a treat. I bought some kugluen ball things, broke one open, and seemed it was just a few granules of osmocote , encased in some clay. Great idea, but only for the well heeled aquarist! As with all fertilisers, err on the side of less is more eh...
-
Yeah, cool! Love that guys photography.
-
Mate, you can use just about anything. That Proflora stuff must be the most expensive fert on the planet! I use some fert that is made for trees, comes in a compressed tablet. Got it from Bummings, cheap as, works like a charm.

Good pics are surprisingly hard to get... last time i tried, results were disappointing. reflections on the glass drove me nuts!!! trademe is a great place to pic up a bargain camera... once i bought a camera there that the seller had described as in good condition.. a few days later, a completely thrashed dented and banged up piece o crap turned up. what a let down that was... :-(

Cant be long now... she's getting huge! 1 or 2 upwards!!! lol. :-)
