My water change system is unique......I can do the first stage of my water change whilst the tank is in full operational mode.....Its awesome. I dont have to turn anything off at all....The tank mates wont even know its happening!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Well I've been out to Craigs, The whole thing is well thought out, well designed, and ruggedly built. Looking at it I really don't know how it could be improved, will provide a great environement for the livestock it will hold. And I finally learnt what a durso pipe is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 craig - you got water last week huh? if you plan on going this weekend (which apparently the weather is looking good) let me know as im going to collect some myself (but would rather use you for your large container instead oh, and get some of my egg-crate back, or i suppose you used it all on your tank upgrade?!!! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracker Posted October 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 My bloody pink and yellow dotty back jumped out of the container and is under the cube....... Not impressed...... All livestock transfered. Thanks Wasp for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracker Posted October 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Chim...I got bits and pieces of your egg crate all over the place in bits!! Ooops...... :-? You never called me re: the water last week...... not needing any for a bit....will post you then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 You never called me re: the water last week...... thats coz the weather was so crap I was surprised you went collecting at all!!! too much run-off from the land after all that rain. I think you'd be surprised at the difference in water quality of NSW before/after heavy rain... all that iron from rusty cars polluting the sea but seriously, heaps of pesticides and all sorts of other pollutants i certainly dont want to add to my tank!

Fay Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Quote: Kanuka Uh...what is that? Like a big Tree Kanuka (Leptospermum ericoides) The Kanuka is a taller version of the Manuka tree. It grows to 15m high with a trunk around 60cm. This photo was taken in Abel Tasman National Park, Nelson, New Zealand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
