Caryl Posted December 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Are your tanks attached to the wall? I wouldn't want to be next to one in a big quake! They can really move! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowfax Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 it was big, my 4 ft was rocking badly, poor fish didnt know what had hit them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Twas a good wobbly here too, I was just talking to one of my daughters on the bed, and she says 'why is the fishtank water sloshing around?' - she's only six and should have been asleep, anyway! Went downstairs to check the tanks, and the cat was sitting up on the top shelf in her box with her tongue sticking out and a surprised look on her face as if to say - what the....?

Caryl Posted December 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Another reason to make sure you do not fill your tanks too close to the top - water slopping over and fish surfing out the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pufferfishnz Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 apparently the whole country felt it. i rang mum at home in nelson and she felt and ive had a look on the earthquake website and all the drums through out nz have readings on them. we had one here in whakatane last night and it had a focal point of 0. if the one tonight had had a focal point of 0 we wouldnt be having this conversation!

evilknieval69 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 What the hell oscarboy?!?!?! why would you post that? pointless.... This is from the geonet site Pretty scary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_r Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 yea the one last night was big, but nothing compared to this one. last nights one wasnt actually 0km deep, the sensors wernt accurate enough to calculate its depth. but yes if the earthquale just now was much shallower we may have all been in trouble...well those of us close enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 felt it here too A message popped up from someone my wife was talking too in palmy (half an hour away) saying there was an earthquake, I had enough time to read it and think hmm if theres an earthquake in palmy shouldn't there be one here.. And it hit pretty big here shouldn't have my tank filled too close to the unused overflow... And I may have been contacted by someone asking if it was possible to supply 50 dem's...

evilknieval69 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 LOL, big sale aye ryan? Make sure he has a HUGE tank! Oh wait, hes getting a big tank for his Arowana :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Was a reasonable one here too. Had the tank sloshing right to the limit but it didn't quite overflow. It went for about 2 minutes here. Had a couple of power surges too. You could hear the rumble from the quake about 5 seconds before it actually hit. I like nice long gentle ones like this as you feel better about the pressure being let go softly instead of it being all saved up for one big sharp hit. At least I like to think that's the way it works... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 LOL, big sale aye ryan? Make sure he has a HUGE tank! Oh wait, hes getting a big tank for his Arowana :roll: and the demasonis for live food? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarBoy Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 The quake, which was more powerful than the 1987 Edgecumbe earthquake, was centred 50 kilometres south of Gisborne at a depth of 40 kilometres. But the Edgecumbe quake was much shallower than tonight's quake. Telephones in the Gisborne area are currently down. The earthquake was strongly felt in the Eastern Bay of Plenty and as far south as Wellington. (evil they going into my 325L getting rid of everything they are so boring so once they gop i tell ryan he gets some ready then i pay then they get sent) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 now now rogan don't start that again remember what happened last time! I don't think you would need a tank all that big for 50 dem's I had 40 africans in a 260L tank with a heap of filters in it for a few months and some of them were 15cm+ nothing managed to breed but they lived Dems are smaller so would do better Anyway earthquakes suck!

livingart Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 i like to think about the use of oil as a shock absorber does taking the oil out of the earth increase the sharpness of the earthquakes well, i don't like to think then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarBoy Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 hahahahahahaha roagn shall we start again is that what your proposing? lol no rogan i am selling everything and cleaning out my tank new gravle etc etc then will full it back up wait 6 weeks i think it is then buy the dems oh and i could go hutt pets 2moz and buy a 25cm aro if i wanted to so shut up.

Zev Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 From a friend who'se parents live in Gisborne Mum slightly shaken, part of the building across the road from her work came down. They have no power or landlline phones. She rang me from her cell phone. Can't get hold of dad, he doesn't have a cell phone....guess what he is getting for his next birthday! My poor Bro was at his work in Napier on the 3rd floor, he though he was going to be sick from the rocking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
