witchdoktor Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hello All, I am new to NZ, living in Wanganui. Been crazy about fish since I was a kid and plunged into aquascaping 3 years back. Still learning and still feel I am an amateur in aquascaping, and more than happy to learn from other scapers here. Also a member of aquatic plant central. Its only been a week since I arrived to NZ. Planning to get my hobby re-started soon :lol: New to NZ so would like to know where to get tanks, plants, filters, lights, CO2, ferts and fish around Wanganui. Thank you in advance for all your help. Cheers, Vivek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hi and welcome, pretty slim pickings for fish shops and stuff around there unfortunately (I moved from Bulls to Auckland recently) however Simon is in town (no doubt he will get in touch with you at some stage) he is right into his plants and stuff so should be able to sort you out in that regard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Welcome and good luck with setting up. Keep an eye on Trademe for good deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hi What sized tank are you after? There is not much of a selection in Wanganui but the pet store will order stuff for you if you ask. Quite reasonable with the price too. As Ryan said, I am a bit of a plant enthusiast myself. Here is my blog www.supasi.wordpress.com its a bit neglected recently but has some of my stuff in it.

witchdoktor Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hello Simon, I am after a 70-100 ltr tank. Yeah, you are right abt the pet shop (Animania) at Wanganui, nothing much there. I had gone to Animates at Palmi last weekend and chatted up with a guy there. They seem to have quite a lot of stuff esp Eheim filters and plants. But then quite expensive I feel. Also heard about Wet Pets there, but didnt go to the shop. How is that shop? I am just settling down at the moment and planning to start within a months time. Love your blue rams and pearl weed. I had a pair of Bolivian rams. In the beginning they were a happy couple, but then after 2 weeks due to some strange reason, the male started chasing his mate and killed her!!

Caryl Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Glaziers can make a tank whatever size you like and are generally a lot cheaper than buying the fancy tank and stand units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Chatted with some guy in Animates Palmy, eh? Eheim filters and plants - that was probably our Phoenix44 Hi and welcome to the Fishroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witchdoktor Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Adam is his name. Had enquired about an Eheim Ecco 2232, said he will let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Not Phoenix, then - but he is passionate about Eheim filters and plants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Was definitely not me; if it were, witchdoktor here would be saying how he bought an eheim filter and heaps of plants; a t5HO light and a tank! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
