#296945 An Abbott Idea
Posted by malawiman85 on 08 October 2013 - 06:21 AM
Maybe dole entitlements should accrue prorata so if you work for a year you earn the right to access a month/however long of dole payments.
When i moved to WA from over east in 2006 i had $1000 and a suitcase full of clothes and a toolbelt. I got a job after two days, stayed at a backpackers for 6 weeks until i could sort out somewhere to rent. I paid to do some training courses ended up in mining. I hated it but stuck it out for the experience and money. Now im paying my own way through a masters degree at uni and own my own house. Im not saying im a superstar. Im saying im motivated and prepared to help myself not rely on handouts like so many seem to be happy to do.

My wife is always getting my hopes up, threatening to leave... She even did leave once... do yourself a favour, go to the classifieds and buy every tank for sale and keep as many fish as you can.

#296657 My Small But Nonetheless Smashing Pond
Posted by malawiman85 on 03 October 2013 - 08:11 PM
I've been wanting to do a small pond with a glass front for ages... The biggest problem I had was working out where I wanted it... I wanted it to be somewhere I could see it all the time... I kept drawing blanks, but then just as I was starting to lose hope my massive brain constructed what is probably the greatest idea in fish keeping history.
When I explained it to my wife she threatened to leave me... Hoping she was serious and this wasnt just another idle threat, I went and built it anyway... Enough from me... Just check it out, its not finished yet but it is up and running:

So I bought this tank 1600ltr (Some of you probably recognise it).

Then I started building out of materials I had on hand... Mostly limestone, sand and cement.

By this stage the wife still hadnt left so I kept on going. Moving the tank on my own was unbelievably difficult!

I used existing holes in the tank to set up the filter/pump.

The water is still a little cloudy and I havent cleaned the glass yet but already it looks great! So far I have only chucked my marron in, no fish yet. Cant wait to get this tank scaped and full of fish.
Fish that will be going in are:
- A Murray Cod - until it turns into a monsterous killer.
- A few silver perch
- Eeltail catfish
- Lots of shrimp
Best thing is I can literally feed the fish and top up water from my couch.
All up I have only spent $550.

Tangs are more individual some as Bowdy pointed out are quite fussy. I would have to say that tangs, whilst not as "pretty", are far more interesting.

#294548 Gina's Scheme To Stay Out Of Jail.

Because she knows a thing or two about business and the economy.
Really???
I thought she inherited a bucket load of money and resources in an industry, that fortunately for her (and me to a far lesser extent) has boomed!
She is one of the worlds ultimate 'tards... Right up there with Dan Quayle and Eve (of Adam and Eve fame).
