  1. where to get dalton aquatic mix? and sand also? i presume you have to clean and rinse it properly though??
  2. yes,,,i do know some of the common ones like cabomba, java moss, hair grass, tenellus etc...just some of them which completely looks different when grown emerge for fast propogation.
  3. yes..i am really into plants lately..i think i caught the plant bug. with work been hectic lately..i think i have given up on breeding fish... :-? . my question is ....since the first picture is indeed stargrass, will the foliage grow spiky when matured? that is essentially what i want it to look like in my tank. round tips just look darn ugly.
  4. and these plants below.....what are their names and are they to be grown submerge or emerge?
  5. hi everyone.. can the Plant Gurus out there please advise what plants i got from the lfs...i am a newbie to plants and i think i got tricked by the lfs by selling me what is not it is or some supposed to be emerged plants. first of all they sold me this plant as stargrass. but keeps me wonder why the foliage is not spiky????? i was told when they grown a bit matured they will start to look like stargrass? is this true? :roll:
  6. yea..its a pity..its a really pretty plant. lfs shouldnt have it in their display tank...otherwise customers will start thinking it is okay to keep.
  7. yea....nothing wrong with using cheapies...as long as they do the job, i have them all over my breeding setups...just to light up the tanks and fish, water doesnt get into them as they are properly sealed....... btw....no much rise in power bill because they use so little energy.
  8. ok....just read some of the thread here myself....they are not allowed. pity...its a nice plant though.
  9. hi guys, i saw some really nice Hornwort with a hint of reds along the tips of the plants in the lfs. the problem is they dont want to sell them as it is illegal? just wondering is hornwort really a pest plant in NZ?

    Hi Everyone

    welcome lurker...you are always welcomed here!! 8)
  18. yup..i did ask about Kelvin colours from 6000K to 8000K range. no luck at rexel lighting. wondering hows TM getting on
  19. oh yup...for the Plumbing and drainage services line connected ..you do need a building consent then.
  20. it really comes to details of what you are proposing. if it is a small garden shed ,is under 10 m², and less than one storey high, it does NOT require a building consent. there is some other strict guideline, but check with your local council (territorial authority) to be sure.
  21. i wouldnt even feed them if it was only 5 days...sorry about your loss too..
  22. have you got a pic of the wild mollies? i dont want them..but im just keen to see what they look like...hehe
  23. just went to Rexel Lighting and ask for a 150W daylight range . they said they dont do that range, only 3200 - 4300K for 150 W series, as for other nz lighting shop as well. the only daylight range available is 250W screw in types, is this true?
