purplecatfish Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Thanks from the Auckland Fishkeepers for allowing us to accompany you on your recent tank crawl. Some of your tanks were very impressive. I'd like to reciprocate and extend an invitation to you to join us on our tank crawl on the 22nd November. We're going to meet (and finish) at Piet's house at 10 am. It's only a couple of minutes from the Hollywood Fishfarm in Mt Roskill, near the Hillsborough Rd exit off the Northwestern Motorway. We'll make sure that there are spaces in the carpool so that you don't have to deal with the mad Auckland drivers except for the motorway journey up. I'll email Owen with the details as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simian Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 It will be a busy weekend, Exec meeting on Saturday and tank crawl on Sunday. I'll do my best to get a leave pass, may be a stretch though :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 It is good to see so many clubs holding tank crawls recently and having them attended by other clubs. Keep up the good work people! :bounce: It is a great way to meet fellow fish keepers, see other aquariums and ponds, see fish you may not have seen before, get a chance to swap or buy fish or plants etc and get ideas for your own aquascaping. I have never attended a tank crawl where I did not enjoy myself and find plenty of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Caryl, definitely lucky that I made it back home. Started the car in the morning to go on the tank crawl and the car started to act all funny. Will be having it looked at tomorrow, and hope it doesn't cost tooo much to fix whatever the problem is... Gear Box, transmission, Clutch...who knows :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simian Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 At least you have a good excuse Wok, it was a good day. Stink about the car dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Would of liked to come on the tank crawl though. Got the car fixed today, luckily it wasn't bad. only lightened by wallet by $330. Could be worse, rang up Mitsubishi, and the guy said it should not be more than $4,000 and it costs $100 just to plug the car into the computer to see what is wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 At least you have a good excuse Wok, it was a good day. Except for me only remembering when we were passing through Huntly on the way home that I'd left the plants I'd been given in Peter's car. I have now started setting up my very own Hillstream loach tank though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a mitsi that kept blowing the trans computer and putting it in to safety mode (3rd gear only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Ours did the same - oh look, third gear only, one solenoid and a few hundred bucks later, all fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Welll,,,,,$330 later and my car is fixed. Supposedly the transmission was lacking in oil and the gear box had dropped. either way, it was cheaper than I thought, which is really good.
