Aquatopia

Well done one your reading abiliity Tanksman, although im not sure what the purpose of your posting was, or why there seemed to be a "tone" to it. Isnt that one of the things the whole thing is about removing ? :roll: :roll:

But is a knowledgable person correcting misunderstandings and adding valuable information to any thread commercial activity or is it just imparting an answer or helping the thread to help the hobbyist (which i thought was what this site was all about :-? ) Lets face it, if someone who sells an item can contribute valuable information to a thread WITHOUT saying it in a commercial context then surely they should be allowed to make a post. Otherwise the rule is overly restrictive and in fact significantly diminishes the benefit that members can gain from this site.

Ahh, cheers.

PBT ? what ?

Do you mean the one about photocards ? or is it another one? Just reviewed the first one and seems perfectly ok ???

That looks good - could you get away with not welding and just bolting it in the right placed ? What about riveting?

And how many aussies are in the pub at the time :lol: :lol: :lol: (just joshin)

Hi I disagree with the stability issue - they would not make them if there was one. However, you do get view distortion. Its just personal preference of shape, but most people i know (me included) who ever got one, ended up changing.

What possible relevance does glass thickness hold to whether its a marine or freshwater setup ? Are marine fish more likely to bang themselves against the glass and break it ? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Would it cost you less than the $172 he paid minus the $80 you would pay to bring one here for me ? Jump on that plane mate.... I'll even shout you a beer too.

Awesome fish - definitely on my list for a FO system, and dude - you ROBBED them at that price. So wheres the pic then ? ......

Keep us posted on the outcome - discreetly !

Phew, finally got to the end. Stunning example of a small tank. Its looking great dude. And nice to see lots of pics along the way. You must be pleased.

Hi Im on page one, so sorry if this is covered later but i thought i would mention it cos i will forget by the time ive read the whole thread ! I had a relatively small tank like yours on a similar set up with two legs at the end of the desk. The damn thing still bowed the benchtop ! I would run a false back to run underneath the same line as the back of your top tank and a couple of legs underneath or as near to the two front corners of the tank (taking into account access to the sump. Just a thought.

Hi - why is it limited to 13-14 more goes? Do they stop breeding after that ?

Hi B&K - So is this on a Discus tank ? Was wondering about the CO2 system you mentioned so wondering if its a planted aquarium now ?

Hmm, well that works for the first wipeout - what about the other 19 if something goes wrong ? Or some of the guys on here would not have all their stock covered by a long shot with just $2k.

Cold ! About 15 i think. Dude - that sucks - so sorry to hear about the bad news.

Right - so if the pumps are pre-modified then why would you not be willing to share the way in which they had been modified ? Its not like you have a patent on it ? Am i missing something or do you have something to gain regarding keeping the modification method secret? I thought i read that you had not written this thread from a retail point of view but one of trying out a skimmer ?

Not at all - but i think if the first side did not mention names or make personal comments then any reply should have been equally as non personal. Anyone who actually cares to read this thread in the correct order will realise this was not the case - regardless of who they agree with. If people were able to work out who it related to then perhaps the non specific comments rang true ???

Oh i see - didnt realise you did the mods yourself.

Can you put up a pic to show what you mean ?

I disagree Aaron. Did you miss Joeblogs statement that he was simply asking for a point of view on what people expect initially and that he mentioned no names and made no personal comments? Did you then follow the thread further and see that it was the other party concerned that did precisely that? You say you find that people are treated fairly and equal at the LFS concerned, yet did you read the part where it is explained that this was not the case and another customer was specifically told they could bring a fish back if they had problems ? Did you read how Joeblog was accused of trying to sell a fish to another customer and yet this transpired to be nothing like the way it was described ? Not to mention that regardless of the ACTUAL situation, a large majority of people who have posted on this thread are in agreement that a retailer needs to balance up how he treats customers who spend thousands of dollars with them ? And yet you say I am wrong on both counts of saying you either have not read the thread or understood the point. I guess it boils down to who you believe. All i know is that from my impression Joeblog has no reason to lie. I have to disagree with you, but do not wish to argue the point with you any further. You have made your allegiance to Redwoods clear, and that is honourable. I have no way of comparing your custom at the store to that of Joeblog's. I myself have stated that I have never dealt with the person concerned and that the other staff have been nothing but helpful and friendly toward me. The situation still seems wholly unacceptable to me though, and i believe that Bob's comments, through his Daughter, were inflammatory and unnecessary. The thread had died. No posts had been made for a while and matters had calmed. But still, the person you respect so much decided to go on the attack. Go figure !!! :roll: !!!

So what model aquabee IS it and what are the mods ???

There speaks someone who either hasnt read the thread in order or has missed the point totally :roll:
