Is that just standard dirt you dug out of the garden or is it specially for fish tanks? Did it not make the water go muddy? Am wanting to set my tank up properly with plants so just getting ideas

Have noticed this tank obn trademe. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Pets-animals/Fish/Fishbowls-tanks/auction-90929361.htm I 6mm glass thick enough for the lenght of the tank??

Hey thanks guys and girls. Not really after anything inparticular, but was thinking about setting up a co2 system but found it hard to find sites that would ship to nz without the huige price tag. Are there any aussie sites that you know that ship to nz?

You has sliced and diced an ar620T to fit more lighting into it? I have decided to sort out a planted tank but the lights that the tank comes with are, well to say the least crap for a planted tank. Have change the blubs in the fron from 13w each to 23 watts but still need more. I have a canister filter running at the mo so i could chop up the hood filter if i needed to. Any suggestions would be great

Hey does anyone know of any good websites to buy stuff. I know of the petplanet website but is there any other ones?????

A jar with a little water in it, some weed or plant. Tape the jar close. Wrap with newspaper then into a box and ship

Hey i have two small ones at the moment. Keeped in a tank that i have put a couple of glass panes in to make a land area. They are pretty cool to watch eating but spend most of there day under drift would or hiding in the plants.

A man. So what would you suggest for my next batch of fry if they spawn again?

Could angel fry be sucked through fine mesh by bigger fish? I had 10 after changing my lighting and getting some plants to survive now i have none. They were in a mesh fry thingie in my community tank

The tank is about 90 litres, it is an AR620T. Can't remeber the measurements of the top of my head. I just sorted the lighting out, because it came with shocking lights. It wouldnot allow anything to grow. So yeah plants are still on the thin side at the moment. It is green alage which i think is because of two much light, the tank is right beside a window that gets some sun. Can't move the tank so thought i would get some algae eaters. I must be doing something right with the tank, just after i changed the lights, and my plant actually started growing my angles spawned! So am now the proud owner of ten little angel fry!

I have a couple of bristle noses that i thought would be good at eating the alage in my tank. They seem to eat all the other plants but not the alage. Is there a specfic type of alage eater that will be better then bristle noses in a community tank and a cichlid tank? Bristle noses are cool but want something that will do a good job too. Any help would be awesome

So this is a really tall tank and at the moment my plants are doing not what they are meant to be doing unless that is dying in a gooey mess. I have contacted petplanet and they say that these are the lights that you can get for my fittings. 18w 7100K Day Bright White $13.00 18w 14000K Day Bright Pink $19.00 18w 7100K White/1200K Blue (for marine tanks) $13.00 18w Marine Blue 1200K (for marine tanks) $14.20 Can anyone suggest which would be the best for this tank Thank you

Hey thanks Mel1708 i was lead to believe that newts needed water temp around about 20C and i have always tried to figure out why young newts never go in the water. Do you know why or is just something that they just dont do. Cheers

Hey thanks for everyones help. I have read conflicting info about what temp they need to be keepde at. Some people say the need a heater around about 22C others say that they are fine with no heat. Can you tell me how your tanks are set up just so i can get some ideas for mine. I have sorted out t the tanks with a wet and dry area. Any help is greatly apreciated.

I just can't decide. They both cost around about the same from the start off and they are both just as cool as the other. If only ic ould get both HELP!!!!!!!! I just cant decide, the tank could go either way. How would both go in the same tank. :-? Help me please. Your thoughts
