#332327 New Tank With Algae On Wood?

Posted by Graeme on 11 December 2014 - 07:16 PM

That white "algae" is harmless and part of nearly all wood added to a tank.

Some fish/shrimp eat it.

Don't worry about it at all it will go away but if it does bother you it will rub off very easily by hand and you can vacuum out

Hi Jason

 

Sorry to see your fish covered in what looks like fungus

I haven't had the issue but did read that salt could help, the dosage rate they used was 1 heaped tablespoon to 20L of water

 

Hope your fish survives

ps download this book and enjoy, its the rainbowfish  bible ( and for those needing a paper copy is being reprinted again )

#326988 Second Edition Of Adrian Tappin's Rainbowfishes E Book (80 More Pages) Be...

Posted by Graeme on 12 September 2014 - 07:25 PM

Second Edition of Adrian Tappin's Rainbowfishes E Book (80 more pages than 1st edition ) is being organised to be printed

Price is $180 delivered

I have nothing to do with this apart from sharing it
Graeme

 

 

 Peter Matheson says ,I have had many requests to have this book reprinted, and so after a few months of going from printer to printer to get quotes etc i have finally had Adrian Tappins book reprinted as a test copy to show what the print run will look like. its with his permission and with no profit made by me.

This is a high standard of printing, the book is stitch bound, 557 pages printed in full colour on high gloss paper. its hard cover, blue in colour with gold lettering for the front title... and also on the spine(looks slightly embossed).
Its a beautiful book and some say the bible for rainbowfish lovers, a must have in my opinion.

The way this will work:

The price per book is $155.50 without postage, postage will be extra ontop of that price and im finding that out tommorow. The final price will be rounded off and will be the same for everyone regardless of if your my neighbor or someone from Perth, this will help pay for bubble wrap and any addition costs that i havent come across and makes it less of a headache for me.
Any money left over from postages will be donated to angfa national.
All books will be sent in bubble wrap to keep them safe.

I am doing this all for free out of my own time and i hope we as a collective group of hobbyists can get this reprinted.
There is 3 blank pages in the book also,the blank pages are page 291 an error occurs on it and cant be printed, you can see it in the downloadable version.
the other 2 blank pages are meant to be blank and no pages are skipped.
cheers.
I need 50 people to pay for this before it will get printed. if that doesant happen then the book will not get its print run. i will not dip into my own savings to make this happen its up to you guys now, i hope you get in and secure your copy fast. Previously 35 people said they would be happy to pay upwards of $200 for a good copy, this will be under $200 a copy delivered to your door.
Thanks to everyone in advance and ill get back to the group tommorow with a final price and how to pay.

Cheers
Pete the admin

#298298 Using Potting Soil For Planted Tank

Posted by Graeme on 24 October 2013 - 07:39 PM

Michael,

If you want to use potting mix, buy and read the book by Diana Walstad " Ecology of the Planted Aquarium"

 

Or buy a ready to use substrate like eco complete, ADA etc
