DennisP Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Student :lol: No Sky :lol: =0 COME ON MAN! SORT OUT YOUR PRIORITIES! What does the hotel/motel version of sky cost? Which is like 123 prime, c4, discovery and possibly some more PC/boring channels. Does freeview have discovery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 haha between job number1, job number 2, university, assignments and exams; nights out occasionally - it doesn't leave time for much else. This place is like solace for me :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Yet you're almost always on these forums. Getting side tracked here... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Whip Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Ah my MRS works for Telstra so at the mo it is free as we are testing there tivo/my sky. It's good. Perhaps with the money we are saving I should buy a fancy plec or three for my dwarf puffer tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Off current topic question for P44: What is the minimum amount of time/a plant can survive off per day? (While I'm away next week.) As for tivo/mysky... We have mysky. It is amazing. I believe our neighbours have tivo, and my brother baby sits there occasionally.. says he prefers mysky.

phoenix44 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 If the plants are healthy even a couple hours of light will be fine. You can do a 5 day black out if you need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Interesting. Interesting Indeed. Am hoping this substrate change and 100% water change (again) will have eradicated the cyano. Might still go with the blackout though to make sure.

Mad Whip Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Back to the original off topic. Off hand are there any around now on the wholesale lists that are dwarf and poo less then others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Have a look in organism. I know they have a magnum pleco (pretty sure that gets either 20-30cm so not so dwarf), a blue pleco of sorts which I think was labelled at 15cm and a gold nugget pleco which is about the same and probably some more I didn't see.

phoenix44 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 L002, and that pecklotia that is sold as big band tiger pleco. Couple of ancistrus species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Whip Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 I need to have a look round I think. I'm away this weekend so that will give me time to research the following week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Yes, I am back! No need for any welcomes or anything. Doesn't algae LOVE your holidays?! 2 tanks SPOTLESS and clear of algae, 1 recently set up, the other reasonably well established, BOTH now full of brown, thread algae. (Haven't ID yet). THERE ISN'T EVEN ANYTHING IN THE BIG TANK AND HASN'T BEEN FED FOR A WEEK! Also, its very dirty... STUPID STUPID ALGAE. I actually yelled when I first saw it! :evil: :roll: More importantly though, brought back some nice rocks which blend in well with the tank. They all seem to blend in better after they've been in there for a week. Will update pictures soon after water settles and also I can be bothered. Tomorrow is the big day! The fish will be bought tomorrow! But not without a sacrifice (more than $$$)... ... stupid minor operation on my big toes after stupid friend decided to jump on them... grumble grumble grumble... Thought I'd share my arrival home as I'm sure others have had such experiences too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 That tank is looking good Dennis. As Hovmoller mentioned earlier, you will find the altifrons like to dig around the wood and stones. It is surprising the amount of sand they can move in one day. I gave up scaping their tank and left them to it.Now I have sand at the front of the tank and none at the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Thanks, yeah, should be interesting... Might have to add more sand if needed. As for the scape, its pretty sturdy so it wont fall over. (hopefully) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 New rocks. Just a few hours before fish come home! Will arrange that rock pile so they are more horizontal. Looks a bit odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 hmm. Looks like an L46 tank now. I still say don't get Geos. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I still say don't get Geos. :lol: :evil: What then?! I want something affordable, nice and "not ur usual" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I dunno :lol: I personally think that any fish that will re-scape your tank after all that hard work is not a fish to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovmoller Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I dunno :lol: I personally think that any fish that will re-scape your tank after all that hard work is not a fish to have. Seeding doubt in the 11th hour... don't torture the poor guy! Geos are great fish!.. and yes they might disagree with the current scape but thats part of the fun of having geos.. to see how they like their scaping done!

Sophia Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Dennis is King Scaper so every time they mess it up he will have an excuse to un-mess it again and turn it into something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Ignore P44, Geos are well worth it. They are neat fish that look stunning and have interesting behaviors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted October 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Well... ... ... I think you should wait until sunday to buy fish Why?!??? :evil: :-? I can't say. ...
