Or you could try this bit ...

did you read my post ? I said :

Me ? I bought the whole community from eBay, the BGK and the tetras have lived happily together for several years,. I don't know how many tetras they've lost, but in 2 weeks I haven't lost one.

My BGK is 8" and he comes out during the day sometimes. He will always come out when I feed the other fish (frozen bloodworm) and he usually finishes off the block when it gets down to him.

I'm going to try this soon : http://www.aquarticles.com/articles/manage...p_Hatchery.html

As I said ... I was heading for the same offer as Peter - hosting,etc. IMHO I would choose Joomla instead of Mambo, team that with SMF (Simple Machine Forums) and Coppermine for the gallery

Trust me, it still won't cut it !

HTML is not really source code, and if you want a site that big (I think you want it big) you will need something a lot better than DreamWeaver. You really need a database-driven site, with a good CMS.

Congrats, love the shirts :) That's the good thing about a weeding - if you want it that way, that's the way it should be :)

Nothing beats Canon SLR's, but the T70 is a REALLY old model. Maybe tag it as an antique and get a newer one that will help you a lot more in getting the right shot.

I had to do a similar thing the other day (and I'm a newbie!). I had an offer on a 4' tank that was too hard to give up, and my other tank was not fully cycled yet. So ..... the advice I gave the tank owner was to NOT touch anything, and this is what I did : - arrive, and bag the fish - wood...

Mate, read my sig. I'm dreading my big water changes, but I'll be adding the water by the bucket and treating each bucket as it goes in.

OMG ... NH3 = 0.25ppm in the tap water !!! no wonder the NH3 tests were mostly 0.25 Now I need to re-assess where my 6' tank is actually up to in the cycle, but is my maths correct : 400l = 400,000ml If I want to achieve 6ppm then I really want to add 2.4ml of NH3, to make it : 2.4 : 400000...

OK, is my logic ok here, or completely flawed ? Most of the beneficial bacteria live in the filter, even in the foam of an internal filter (you know the one, fits completely within your tank - sucks water up and it exits at water level). So, if I was planning on getting a new tank, but already...

I'd be more worried with the chlorine. I'm pretty sure the chlorine will kill the bacteria.

I'm going to test the tap water now - have not done that yet :o The Nitrite colours are definitely distinguishable, the ppm/colours are : 0 - green 0.05 - sky blue 0.1 - purple 0.2 - burgundy 0.5 - pink >1 - dark red

This is the best site I've found to do that : http://www.cidadevirtual.pt/mrf/fixe/index.html It gives fish numbers as well, but be sure to use 0 in the % area if you don't want that size.

Hi, I'm using a kit called "Fresh Lab" by Red Sea. Comes with colour cards with the NO2 card readings being : 0,0.05,0.1,0.2,0.5,>1 and the NH3 readings being : 0,0.25,0.5,1.0,2.5,5.0,7.5 there's also pH 6.2-7.4 and 7.4-8.6 on 2 separate cards.

But the plants were put in after the readings were taken.

If you've read my threads you'll know a few things - I'm new - no, REALLY new!. I bought my first tank ever just before Christmas (second tank shortly after that ;)) and first put water in ANY tank on Dec 30,2005 but there is some weird things happening. First, I got a 6' tank that needed some...

Yeah, I googled for quite a few different variants. Found a lot of sites, but the forum traffic and community interest seemed to be the best here. For marines, MASA definitely seems the go !!!

What animals have you got in there ? I see the 2 clowns and the BCS, but what else ? With that amount of rock, coral, etc.... how many/much fish could you put in there ?

Awesome pics mate, I was just reading your blog over on MASA. I think this those dozen pics you've converted me to a 4' marine when I can get one. I don't have the floorspace now, but I'm sure I could fit it in somewhere ;)

Thanks, already cruising the MASA site. I see that MASA is SW focussed, does anyone know of an equivalent FW Aussie-based site ?

Thanks for the link, I didn't see before that you were in Adelaide :)

Thanks for that. I didn't know if it was best to move this thread to a different tank subject or not, so I created a new thread here largely so I could keep the info separate when comparing the nano to the bigger 300L one.

Following on from my thread about a nano, would this be a better prospect : http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...me=STRK:MEWA:IT hopefully nobosy reads this who also lives in Sydney and beats me at the auction :o

Didn't think of that :o It would definitely be stagnant. The bottles ranged from just lying on the bottom to maybe 25% buried with the opening still level with the gravel.

Yes, I did have concerns about it being too small. This is what the tank looks like : 2 x clown fish 3 x starfish and some live rock I would like to add some coral, maybe a shrimp, but that would be about it. I'm still coming to terms with the small size (thanks for the nano definition :))...

Hi, I'm a newbie to everything fish. I only got my first tank about 4-5 weeks ago but I've just found an awesome deal on eBay for a marine tank. Dumb question is : Should I buy ? Is marine considered harder because there are more parameters to control or get wrong, whichever the case may be...

I knew guppies were small, but I didn't realise how small until I went to buy some. Most of the books quote 1"-1.5" but for the ones I've seen the body is a lot less than that, and the tail MIGHT get the length up to raound 1.0". What length should I be looking for to breed ? Also, what iis...

I went to another LFS the other day, and noticed that in most tanks they had en empty glass bottle in the tank. It didn't seem to matter what species was in the tank, the bottle was just random. Should I think of doing the same ?, or is it just if they breed ? I would love to get a knifefish...

Not just overstocking, but 2 males would be likely to kill each other - but check with someone else, I'm fairly new as well but I do think that the males will fight to the death.

And the fact that all the fish I was talking about are FW. Don't worry, I've just seen you post almost the same thing letter for letter in another thread. You also said you don't have FW, only SW. OK, so where do I get some in Sydney ? .... Or where do you get Sera products in Oregon so you...

hi Kristy, What country are you from to be stationed in Germany ?

Not really, I have a friend that I haven't seen for a few years that used to talk about when he had fish. I've been trying to contact him, but haven't been able to do so yet.

RoyalGrammaPrincessHannah, have you used the Sera products before ? I haven't mentioned anything about FW or SW, but I have one question : Hypothetically, how long would it take them to die ? What are ths signs I should be watching out for ?

Sure, but I'm a newb ;) so this tank I've tagged as "the LFS way" and my 6' tank will be done "the net way". The LFS said just use "bacteria in a bottle" for 10 days then buy a small number of hardy fish ... ok, that's what I'll do. My 6' tank will be done the "proper" way. FULL cycle with...

Ah !!!!, so I caught that disease off YOU !!!!!. ;) My first tank purchase (only a few weeks ago) was a 6' tank that needs lids and a few other things. In the meantime I've acquired the 4' tank and some smaller 2' tanks (to be used for breeding, quarantine, etc..) NH3 : 0.25 and NO2 : 0, but...

I got all my stuff on ebay - just use the local search, or another favourite of mine "sydney pickup" Well, change the sydney to where you live ;) GREAT bargains because you have to go there personally to get it.
