Hi Everyone,

Havent been on here for a long time, moving house again and need to sell off the last of the aquarium stuff i wont need going forwards :(
Ive listed it on Gumtree, if your interested...

I second the clown loaches as a natural solution, maybe just borrow some for a month or so off someone.

Wow!
They look great, love a big tank.

Ive found with high temps in summer that facing a fan over the top of the tank helps.
Last resort is popping a frozen 600ml water bottle into the tank before going to work.
Slows down the overheat...

Hmm went past the other day but didnt pop in, will have to make the effort now.
Your right about the shop being warm, its a nice setup in there.

Damn it Ben ive been looking for these for 2 years !!
Might have to rescape the tank....will call you next week if i can fit one in :D
When should they be in ??

Roy

Crazy stuff Mez, looking forward to seeing some shots of them in the 10fter !

Roy

Cool video Awth !

Roy

Ahh looks good :D
Wont be putting up any photos of my new setup till i get some more growth !
Keep it up.

Roy

Yeah Ottos are doing great, tend to come out at night rather then during the day. Got the week off work so i have had plenty of time to watch them. Need more cardinals though !

Roy

Popped into Bubbles last weekend and met Tony.
Picked up a couple of Ottos and some cardinals for my new tank, swimming around happily (think i may have to tone the filter down though, more like a...

Enough for what exactly ?
How many fish are you planning on putting it.

With your lights and no co2 i wouldnt be adding extra fertilizer, you will end up with algae coming out your ears !
...

Personally i fill up my extra space with JBL Micromec, about $20 for a box if it and its easy to rinse, also comes with its own media bag so no issues there.
Otherwise the rest of the space is a...

Havent used the Jebao ones.
I use Pondmaster and Atman 11w units, work pretty well for me.
Replacement bulbs arent that hard to get.

Roy

Are you doing daily water changes or once weekly ?
If its once a week just heat the water the day before.
Alternatively find a way to move them inside, melbourne winter and a pile of water = lots...

This should be attached to some wood or a rock, preferably wood.
The nutrients are taken in by the roots from water flow, burying them will result in the rhizome rotting and the plant dying.


...

Tony do you have any ottos in stock ?
Also how much are your cardinal tetras (if you have some) ?
Looking to start stocking my tank up a little this weekend.

Thanks,
Roy

I found you have to really jam the hose on the fitting for the marathon, and dont have them bending away too sharply.
Never had them pop off on me, but made real sure they fit.

Roy

What are the bushy green plants at the front ?
Tank looks good, i gotta get a pressurized co2 setup.

Roy

Ummm photos ?
:D

I second the PSI call, a lot of the Marine Reefers on MASA use them and all of them reckon the service is great.

Roy

I have a couple of old Tetra HoB filters, but you cant really keep other filter media in them due to the design, at least with water flowing through all the media.
Looks like the top filters are...

So im planning on setting up a few smaller aquariums with some different plants and fish.
These tanks will most likely be sub 100 lts and no discus, thinking apistos or swarms of schooling fish for...

Yep, you need a T-piece though to split the flow, and prob two needle valves as you will need to adjust the flow to both tanks.

Roy

I clean my UV once every 6 months, pull all the filter system apart at that time and do a mass clean.
Mind you the UV has never been what i would call dirty.
