  if you havent watched AFL how can you think rugby is more brutal?

valid point...it would need be a extremly porus sponge....as you want it to act as a baffle without actually slowing the flow.....something like a car sponge....so your not actually reducting the flow, more spreading where it comes from.....make a more dispersed input

speaking of the former post...i think i arrived late...what is the aim of the game?

then watch AFL

extremely true   as i say im new to aquariums, i can only base off my knowledge from breweries....   with a filter that size (dont know gallons that well) we are talking   if your pulling water from any tanks at a faster rate that what it can displace you create a vortex...i would imagine that ...

from the OP said it sounds like the fish was actually stuck to the intake on the filter? dont think that would be a cycling issue?   im still kinda new so ill just go with basic pumping and filtration i know...   if you put a very light sponge (not weight, rather very porus) over your intake you...

byron, i am unable to do so as i said im on tank water...there is no mains water available where i live.....   ive just retested and these are my results ATM   PH: 6.8 Amonia: 0 Nitrite:0 Nitrate:0 gH 16 drops kH  4  drops temp varies between 24-25.5   General Hardness has dropped a fair bit...

i am using the API kit that everyone raves about

I'll keep photos, so sing to add to the plat index

Got some new plants and everyone seems much happier

So the plant name is curly ivy.

Can anyone advise if this plant is dying or melting. At first I thought it was dying but then I noticed these new tips?

family wanted to get fish, and i remember from an ex that you cant just throw them in a tank....   wanted to find somewhere with lots of information to make the best choices.....   forums are our friends....right behind my best friend google

6 neon tetras 1 Siamese algee eater 1 Platty 4 male guppies   so im noticing an issue between the guppies and the platty, the guppies are hassling the platty for a few hours a day..... should i maybe get a few more to stop the guppies?   looking to see what i should get next...... planning on...

Best photo I was able to get

Awesome. Thanks for the answers guys

Just on behavious I'm starting to think algee eater as it's hooked on the plants just keeps climbing all over the,....and as you may be able to see my plans are falling apart

For those who asked

ok im sure this has probably been answered but i cant seem to find a strait easy to understand version of it...   what exactly is flow? and what does it matter?

ill get better photos tonight, had a play with settings on my camera to take better photos

ill get a better one tonight, little blighter moves extremely fast.... And of course a random snail

    is it a flying fox. I read that they can be confused alot

yeah its been cycled...all stats holding stable. the neons had already been in there for the last 2 weeks before adding...     could i ask why with the siamese? as everything i read first said they should get along alright in the tank?

so although you cant see them great...will have to fix my camera settings tonight there are 6 neon tetras 1 flying fox siamese 1 platty i think it was called 4 male guppys and 1 random snail

hey Tongue Flicker i have no increased to 8 hours a day light from the fluro, two of the plants seem to have stabalized...one is slowed down in how much its melting... it definatly is melting as once i remove the dead parts and remove them from the water its basicly just a bit of sludge left on...

Excellent advise thanks for that guys

Hi guys. Is there a calculation you can use to work out how much air you should have pumping into your tank? Really unsure if I have too much or not enough

hmmm ill be going back to the LFS this weekend so if they still have some ill be sure to grab the name of it and post it....as i cant seem to find anything with the same type of name in the indexes either... hmmm also possibly doesnt help when here is AUS we have diffrfent common names for things

Great question....I did buy it from an aquarium. But unfortunately I can't remember the name of it....it was ivy of some sort I think it was called

Munroco - i have increased the light timer this morning to about 8 hours.....will go with it and see what happens   nic1 - i will do that, ill start cutting back any leaves that are looking dead and give it a few weeks to see what happens....   thanks for the advice

So after searching threads I have worked out a bit more information could be helpfull This is a new tank Ph 6.5 stable Nitrate 10 Nitrite 0 Gh 30 Kh 0 Plants have been in for a about a week now. So I'm guessing either not enough light. 6 hours per day. Or not enough nutrients as I'm not...

Hi guys I've got a variety of plants that seem to be fading day by day. It's a ivy it said on the tag but that's all I can remember

excelent , i shall be heading to the LFS this weekend so shall have a look around.... i think i will bulk out the neons to start with maybe bring them up to a dozen. from what i read that should protect them if i end up withsomething a little more agressive...

thanks for the tips...yeah i was discussing it with the guy at the shop and he was confused about it too....   from what i understand having such a low hardness should make my pH volatile, but it seems rock solid and hasnt moved and inch either though cycling, planting or fish....

appologies   i completely forgot that part.... 100L   dimensions are Tank is 620 wide X 310 depth x 440 high (all measurments in mm)   the water is simply out of my tank at home...i dont live close enough to a town to get mains water so we rely on rainwater tanks for all uses. (great not having...
