Zev Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 We are building a new home, and will finally have enough room to have a large-ish fishtank. So we are gathering information, and find your forums a good source of info and helpful advice. We have three kids and too many cats..

Alan Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Great to see you on board Zev. Welcome to the splash. Great to see you found the field to put where you are located too. That really can be a huge benefit at getting local aid for you. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Hi Zev, Welcome to the forums. so what do you mean my Large-ish? 6ft? perhaps 10ft? how a bout a whole wall? Just curious :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted January 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 About 3m (that's just a bit less than 10 feet for the imperialists!) The whole wall is a bit much, considering one is 12m and the other 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five are kittens which we will rehome in three weeks when they are big enough to leave their mum. Gee, sometimes I wish you could give your kids away at six or seven weeks, especially during the school holidays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNDYLOO Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 You would be surprised at how many ppl on this forum have tanks of that size, my my I wonder just how many fishies you could fit in a 12ftr :lol: :lol: Lynda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted January 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 I think a 12 meter tank is a bit ambitious for a first tank! I can only imagine how big the filtration pump would have to be, and what sort of noise it would make. We'd probably have to sleep in the shed to get away from the racket!

LYNDYLOO Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 They say the bigger the tank the easier it is to keep, as the water parameters and that sort of thing are alot more stable. Would love to have a hugh tank like that. I got a 4ftr at the moment, but would love to set up a Discus and a Marine tank one day. Don't stress, :lol: :lol: School holidays nearly over.

Caryl Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Hi Zev, Yes, a big tank is much easier to keep than a small one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hi Zev & welcome, New home, new tank, new fish...wow! I have 2 sons & 1 daughter (young adults now) but as you posted in your other thread about expensive tastes...my daughter is the same way! Take care, Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zev Posted January 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Hi Feelers, are you here for the Hols? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feelers Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Yeah, I'm a student at Canterbury, going back on Friday. My parents just moved to Hastings - but hopefully will be moving the house back to Havelock. Havelock North is a really nice place, (especially compared to where I live in Chch ) Cant say I'd like to be buying property in HN, ridiculous prices everywhere. , luckily we were just able to buy a section before the boom.
