Asphyx Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 I'm SO EXCITED... :happy1: My filter pump turned up by courier today. Aqua One Nautilus Canister Filter CF2700. Too bad I'm at work and have to wait until I get home to have a play. I'm guessing I know what I'll be doing for most of this weekend. In preparatation for some "fishing" trips over the break we have also purchased a lantern, some butterfly type nets and a mesh laundry hamper (thanks who's ever idea that was!).

blueether Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 So cool. butterfly nets arent so good for water unless you are getting very small bullies or whitebait. a good net is the wooden handled mesh nets from the warehouse, in the smae thread is the mesh hamper? Yes, stella's second pic in this http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=51709&hilit=nets thread. I use the same one as stella. Oh good luck, if it was a different weekend I might offer to help out but I'll be somewhere north of mt damper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asphyx Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 btw the filter pump instructions say to use a fish friendly lubricant on the seals. does anyone know what tyoe pf product this might be? I was thinking perhaps vasaline might do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asphyx Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 A very successful weekend! Tank is full. Filter pump plumbed in and working. Lounge carpet dry. Haha, now I just need to wait for the driftwood to saturate and sink... oh and then go catch some fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
