#210724 Seeding A Tank
Posted by golden_dase on 29 April 2011 - 03:06 PM in Technical & Equipment
Grab a standard "seeded" sponge filter from an established tank. Then "squeeze" all the crap/water etc. into the new tank. This will help provide "ready to go" bacteria in the new tank & new tank filter system/s.

#210376 Eheim Jager 300w Warranty Issues
Posted by golden_dase on 27 April 2011 - 07:57 AM in Technical & Equipment
Why is it not covered under warranty? If you bought it new from the LFS, and suddenly a few days/weeks later it stopped working, then it SHOULD be covered under warranty!
The only time when something electrical is not covered under warranty is when the consumer (or fish) breaks it (not a manufacturing fault). Even a $10 electrical product at K-mart has 12 months warranty.
I'm pretty sure the packaging on the Jager heater states that it has a 3 year warranty.

What sort of fish will the kids be keeping? I have various spare aquarium bits and pieces (rocks, limesand, small bits of wood etc.) which the kiddies can have, depending on whether they'll be keeping Mbuna, tropical community (guppies etc.).
Cheers!

#209001 Best Way To Back Up Air Pumps
Posted by golden_dase on 12 April 2011 - 01:47 PM in Technical & Equipment
More info here: http://powerquality....specs.asp?CX=22
At the bottom of that link is a "runtime" chart which shows how long the UPS will power your preferred devices. Please note that the chart is based on FULL LOAD. So if you're using a 10watt airpump, you can be guaranteed that the battery inside the UPS will last a lot longer than shown on the chart!

#208890 What Is A Suitable # Of Fish For A Tank?

#208887 What Is A Suitable # Of Fish For A Tank?
Posted by golden_dase on 11 April 2011 - 08:54 AM in Community and Planted Tank Discussion
Eg:
The type that hangs on the back is commonly called a "Hang-on" or "Hang on back" filter.
The type that sits on top of the aquarium is called a "Top-mount wet/dry" filter.
Running the Eheim together with the top-mount filter would be very ideal!
Top-mount filters are very under-rated in Oz... They are one of the most versatile filter systems available. You can easily add carbon, Chem Bio-Zorb etc. without opening up the Eheim canister.

Flow = debris being blown around = gets sucked into the filters = cleaner water = happier fishies!

#208458 Africans Vs Americans
Posted by golden_dase on 07 April 2011 - 07:53 AM in Cichlid Discussion
But the last 12 months or so, I liked keeping and breeding the rarer Malawis (well, except for the Chilingali which turned out to be Cobue. Shut up Gibbs! lol )
However, in future I might try my hand at breeding marine fish. lol

I will be "Autumn-cleaning" the breeders registry sometime this week.
For those that have asked me to add your listings of the Malawi cichlids you're breeding, you can add them yourselves now. I shall delete the original post that I did on your behalf.
If you have listings in the Malawi Breeders Registry on Malawi Dreams, please update ASAP.
I will take a very proactive approach to getting the Breeders Registry up to date..
Any listings that haven't been updated by end of the week will be deleted..
Direct link to the breeders registry: http://www.malawidre...wforum.php?f=35
Thanks all!
