The shellies have now gone   Sadly i culled the platinum angel this morning :(

We dont have glofish here :(   I ended up with white fish, i already had some platinum gouramis and a platinum angel....

Yes i love my girls. I will be upgrading their tank size though as i want to get some more girls in the future. The 2.6ft tank i picked up cheap last week will possibly be their new home eventually.

The shellies will be leaving next week. One of the planted tanks, havent fully decided which yet, will be pulled down, If its the 4ft, then the rainbows will be sold. If it is the 2.6ft, then the fish from there will go into the 4ft.   The platinum angel (which is not well currently and under...

The black sand i can get is horrid stuff and it just doesnt suit the tanks, so nope, they will be going

I have 20 or so tanks now lol They are not suited to any other tank other than the ones with white sand.....

So i ended up putting the large canister on this tank...... Bit of a canister shuffle here today.....the power was off all day and the 4ft rainbow tanks canister decided to dump 1/3 of the tank water onto the floor, so that canister has been decommissioned for the time being while i see if i...

A decent RO system isnt cheap, and the water costs would kill me lol (my city is on permanant water restrictions, so water can be expensive)   I think for me it is just as easy and not that expensive to buy it. Once i can get my hands on a 1000 litre IBC, i will buy salt water (which is cheaper...

So i picked up another tank today, cheap as. I have decided i am going to do this one as the 1st marine. Really want to get the hang of things before going onto the GeeGees (the 620T will be the GG tank)   I am still pricing the rest of the stuff i need. The salt i will get online i think as it...

I got 23 USgal also.

Ohhh, and the little panda that was put into a treatment tank, has improved amazingly well. I honestly thought his tail would drop off from the ulcer type wound that was growing at a scary rate. Salt and melafix, 10 days later the would have nearly completely gone. I will do a WC on his...

Dont you hate when you make a measurement mistake, setup the fish room, looks great. ONLY, i did not leave quite enough room be tween the 5ft and the 3ft for the 3fts canister (which i now have the replacement head for) Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.   Soooooo now i will have to take the canister off the...

So i priced RO water yesterday.....25c a litre, not too bad actually. The salt is expensive though, but i think i will buy that online (cheaper option) The substrate i want is around $60/bag....i may need 2 bags though (if i do the large tank it will probably be a cheaper substrate used), we...

If you can add some of the media from the hob or the internal into the canister (depending what media they have) you will go a long way to speeding up the canister filters bacteria production

Looks to be Corydoras ambiacus   Info here

I have albino cories....i am thinking of trading them for some bronze or darker coloured ones. They are hard to see against white sand lol

Congrats on the babies.... They are cute little boogers

Respect begets respect

I personally would scrape off the soft layer....i remove any loose stuff when i give it a scrub :)

If only you were an Aussie!

All good. And i probably shouldnt have either.....was not having a good day. Regardless i have said my piece on it all and will leave it at that Having a better day today hopefully, being my birthday and all, i'd rather be doing more pleasant things!

There is a wood supplier here that collects wood (he is licensed to do so) and soaks it in pools filled with bleach and water. It is a fairly long process though, as it then needs to go through a number of clean water soaks before it is ready for sale. I have some of his wood in my tanks.   If i...

What is the problem here? I state i would use the filter? I was not the only one who stated this, but you feel the need to single me out it seems.   I have no need to defend my stance on it, as you seem to...nor am i inclined to. I am in no way saying everyone has to have one, that is up to...

Actually they were directed at me....

I dont really care what you think of it TTA....and nowhere was i jumping up and down lol As i stated i would look at using the filter...............

The tank was not fully scaped in this pic, i will need to grab an updated photo

Thank you. This tank has been rescaped though.|   I'm not sure, i just sorta put things in til i like the look of the tank :)

The filter i'd probably use, like any other filter things need replacing.   The robosnail. nope, that would never be put in my tank lol

Random shots                         Bit of a group shot  

We got some goldie shot!!   First up, the newcomer. Meet Cappa     A few individual shots.   Baloo   Archoo   Myriad Cymba   Ry-u   Marloo   Godric & Bluey

Not everyone can be one here often....

Guess who just bought a new goldfish lol Will be picking the stunner up tomorrow!!

Yeah, i cant be bothered making them myself plus by the time i buy glass, silicone etc, i can buy them made for around the same cost

I am looking at a rimless nano i found the other day, very nice tank i must say.....   And a bookshelf tank, another nice one!   Too many nice tanks out there lol

Not in any hurry to get another, the one i had are ridiculously expensive new.....i got mine cheap as new, that deal wont come around again anytime soon i am betting lol   I'll keep my eye out for another second hand, sometimes they appear.   I have other nanos here i can use (and another like...

The tank is 4ft...no Boesemani in there though   There is Neon Praecox, Red rainbows & Crimson spotted rainbows in there

It has a curved front panel, and thats the panel that broke, so not repairable. I unclipped the hood with built in light (using it on a different tank lol) but the main part of the tank is cactus

Thanks....there is currently 3 ranchu in the tank :)

The Sevs are now in the 3ft, hopefully the replacement canister head should arrive this weekend for it.  

As it is now.....will be getting a large WC tomorrow to clean up some tannin (which i hate!)
