#361460 Roe 8 Protests: Good Bad Or Ugly?

Posted by sandgroper on 01 May 2017 - 11:02 AM in Off The Wall

That's what is wrong with Australia, to many sitting on their asses shuffling papers and not enough actually producing stuff. Time Australia got back to manufacturing and MAKE AUSTRALIA GREAT AGAIN.

#361026 Fish Dying... Again

Posted by sandgroper on 10 April 2017 - 02:57 PM in Fish Health, Nutrition, Diseases & Pests

I'd cut your dosage back from 1/3 to 1/5 - 1/6.




#361005 Fish Dying... Again

Posted by sandgroper on 09 April 2017 - 05:45 PM in Fish Health, Nutrition, Diseases & Pests

I did compare the two tubs, my 1kg one is a few years older. Seems strange that they would make a already super strong produce even stronger. Now with moses 123 we have a third dosage rate wtf. Maybe they had over dosing issue complaints and decided to lower it to factor in a safety margin to avoid over dosing.

 

moses 123 How do you know what your bath tub holds? Did you measure it? I physically measured my storage tub to over flowing by hand and got 250L exactly.




#360998 Fish Dying... Again

Posted by sandgroper on 09 April 2017 - 12:51 PM in Fish Health, Nutrition, Diseases & Pests

That's interesting Mike as my 1kg jar differs.

Chlorine use 5g (1tsp) to each 750L (200 gallons) of tap water (removes 4 ppm)

Chloramine use 5g (1tsp) to each 950L (250 gallons) of tap water (removes 4 ppm)

Ammonia use 5g (1tsp) to each 150 L (40 gallons) of tap water (removes 4 ppm)

I will add that i've been using Safe at this level (1/4 - 1/5) or tip of a teaspoon for over 12years with out any dramas. It would be good though if someone in the know could tell us why the two bottle directions differ. It would be better if i could use less, then it would last many more years longer.




#360985 Fish Dying... Again

Posted by sandgroper on 09 April 2017 - 02:44 AM in Fish Health, Nutrition, Diseases & Pests

I use the tip of a teaspoon about a quarter to my 250 L storage drum, i think a teaspoon does about 1000 lts. 1kg treats 200,000 gallons and lasts for years and years and years.




#360984 Fish Dying... Again

Get yourself a water storage drum, age and treat your water in it before adding it to the tank. Your water will be a lot more stable this way and yes Safe is super potent do not over dose.




#360982 Do's And Don'ts For Diy Stands?

Posted by sandgroper on 09 April 2017 - 02:12 AM in DIY

Build it so that the weight is pushing it together and transferring it down into the ground, not pulling it apart.




#360828 Media For Canister Recommendation

Posted by sandgroper on 01 April 2017 - 03:04 PM in Fish Health, Nutrition, Diseases & Pests

 A porous media is best, for example lava rock, coral or marine pure.

A female (always changing their minds). Put it over there, no no over here, against that wall, no no in the middle.




#359259 Hybrids

Posted by sandgroper on 03 February 2017 - 01:11 PM in Cichlid Discussion

I don't see how price comes into the equation for hybrids.
Uneducated people will likely just buy cheap "pretty" fish. If those fish are hybrids, then that's what they will buy.
I don't agree with it in the slightest, but there's nothing that will change this mindset other than education, and u can't educate people that are ignorant, and/or don't care

IMO it doesn't (price) because to me hybrids are worth ZERO but at the end of the day there worth what a buyer is willing to pay. However pure bred strains are worth at least a bench mark and exceptional ones a premium.




#359255 Hybrids

Posted by sandgroper on 03 February 2017 - 11:34 AM in Cichlid Discussion

Perhaps the PCS could draw up a suggested price guide for pure breeds. Our bird club has this and it gives people a good guide of what a particular breed is worth   ( a starting point). Of course it is still up to the seller as some are better quality than others but it gives the buyer a understanding of the average price. I put the idea forward for the next committee meeting for discussion.

Have you got a rain water tank, 50% rain water with the bore would work.
