#353456 Snakes On Server

Welshpool? I thought you "worked" in Baldivis Leif?

:P

Oh know my 'storage facillity' has been found!

 

 

I sold my old snake enclosures to the guy mentioned above, seemed a real reptile fanatic and was quite secretive in saying what he kept, this was obviously the reason.

Ya never know do ya. Gotta collect em all. Pokemon.

So our servers at work have been a little temperamental recently.

 

Ron thinks he’s found the problem.

 

Is this a Stimson's Python?

We released him into the bushland next door to the office (Welshpool - hope that was ok).

 

Regards

MLB

#351726 Mrleifs' Beautiful Pregnant Wife

Posted by MrLeifBeaver on 02 May 2016 - 12:12 PM

Hi All,

 

Susie is my moo burger, so I call her my heffer... :)... I just wanted to pull you all in to read the topic. Lol. :P

 

I have been quieter than usaul as Susie and I are finally exapecting a baby. Woo hoo!

We are due end of August, we are super excited, it will be my parents 8th grandchild too.

My brother has another on the way too, so 9 grandchildren to my parents by the end of the year.
 

Anyway, due to having to do some renos around the house and a busy work schedule too, I will be a bit quieter in future.

I am still here, I still love the club, but will be more of a voyuer than 'poster'.

 

Speak soon.

MLB

 

Edit: Removed Fat so I can have more babies...

Posted by MrLeifBeaver on 19 January 2016 - 02:43 PM

Have you been to Vebas? They have a whole fishtank room that might have corner tanks too?

 

I have a corner tank (not for sale  :) ) I got second hand from Vebas 5 years ago.

#347400 Business Fish Tanks...

Posted by MrLeifBeaver on 01 December 2015 - 01:15 PM

It would be a great mini business idea for a student or school kid wanting extra cash and knowing loads about cichlids and fisht tanks.

All you would need is a Bicycle, 2x Buckets, 1x Siphon, couple towels and a scrubbing brush.

Are you going to insulate the inside of the roof? As that room looks like it might get hot?




#346262 Changing From Freshwater To Saltwater

Posted by MrLeifBeaver on 29 October 2015 - 04:01 PM

3 words! Take. Your. Time.

 

Here are a few pointers;

  • When you get all the water and live rock in the tank, it will probably take about 3 days and become crystal clear, yes the tank is running great, but IT IS NOT CYCLED!
  • 1 to 3 weeks is not enough for cycling, a Marine tank needs to mature, 3 months is a good amount of time - I have heard that a tank is not fully mature until it is 3 years old!
  • I kept my Nano running with liverock and water only for 3 months before I added any large bio-load items (I did put in a couple of cleaner snails and mini corals in, you just can't resist)
  • Over the next 6 months I added corals, slowly waiting between each one added - you will note in my recent aquascaping comp how slow I have taken my over-haul. http://www.perthcich...showtopic=60878
  • Finally I added the fish (the biggest bioload on the tank) last
  • Get a chiller for this hot summer, the coral will die off if you do not control the temperature properly. (I have a second hand one [bought it untested from a fellow PCS member] I can sell you for $150 that I am not using, for your size tank too, it was way to big for my 34L).
  • Us PCS guys are not experts on Marines. I like to dabble in it, MASA is certainly better for experience - However, I really like the people here so I stay here and jsut shjow it off only.

 

I think once you convert the tank to salt it is harder to change it back due to salt and that purple calcium stuff that sticks all over the tank (hard to remove).
