Michael the fish fanatic

You know you can get it from most of our LFS's, probs would be cheaper too

All the species mike said , and there were some huge silver perch being pulled out. Sadly I did see about 4-5 dead trout floating which was pretty bad , but they don't really take catch and release very well so they aren't really an ideal species to have in catch and release ponds.

I'd say get the Up Aqua U series from the tech den to get your fix of lollies.hahaha

John probably doesn't like westies that's why, hahahah

So I ordered some NLS from the tech den about a week ago and it arrived today in perfect condition and was very well packaged . Another bonus was that the parcel was linked to the Aus post track your item, so I got a message when it was going to be delivered and I got it this morning . Had a little packed of mentos as a thank you .Will definitely be ordering again! Thanks John !

As Ryan said, it was a great meeting, some awesome DIY demonstrations put on by Rov, Bret and Mattia. Congrats to all the Aquascape winners, it was a great Como and awesome to see the progress of some of the tanks . Also met some new people with was great. All in all a great night once again !

I'm looking for a 1500l/h filter the tank is 265L so I think even a little over filtration won't hurt! What brand and what would the filter be called (external canister) thanks!

No offence but how is 5 times an hour overfilltration? All my tanks are 8-10x-hour as the more times you turn over a tank the better, obviously not a 2000lph filter in a 20l, but you get what I mean

Marine Pure 1.5" Spheres

Hey guys, I wanted to bulk order some Marine Pure 1.5" Spheres so it will be a lot cheaper for all of you out there that want to buy it.

I'm going to buy 100l for $1300. The minimum buy would be 10L and even if you buy more I can’t lower the price any further as at $13 a litre, that’s the cheapest you will find it!

 I am going to want at least 20l, so there is 80l up for grabs with a minimum buy of 10l ($130). Once the 80l has been sold (a bank deposit will need to be made), I will order and message for a pickup. Once all sold, it shouldn’t be more than 1 ½ weeks till ready for pickup.

Btw, I am making no profit on this at all, I don’t want to buy a whole 100l as I only need 20l.

My location: Gwelup

Info on Marine Pure 1.5" SphereS;

MarinePure is an inert ceramic material with open flow architecture, extremely high surface area and natural wetting properties. A Single 1½” Marine Pure ceramic sphere has 240 square feet of surface area. This means you can fit almost 20 times the surface area in the same space verses bioballs.  

The media’s composition is similar to natural rock formations. MarinePure provides approximately 150,000 sq. Ft per cu. Ft (510 m2/L) of accessible surface area. The properties of MarinePure create a stable home for a dense population of beneficial bacteria that remove ammonia and nitrites from your aquarium. Some systems will also see a decrease in nitrates. MarinePure will work in sumps, trickle filters, wet/dry filters, hang on the back filters or directly in the tank.

• 100% Tank Tested
• Most technically advanced bio-filtration substrate
• High usable surface area for beneficial bacteria growth
• Open porosity means maximum bacteria exposure to contaminates and promotes excellent water circulation and less clogging
• Designed specifically to target ammonia and nitrite removal and minimizes nitrates
• Inert and chemically stable
• Greater than 80% open porosity
• Provides consistent water chemistry
• Reduces tank maintenance
• Able to support large fish loads
• Can be cleaned, reused and sterilized
• Suitable for both fresh and salt water

 

Thanks for all the committee and everyone that helped make a great night!

We had a great day and we would literally cast then 10 seconds later our reels would be screaming. I would definetly reccomend this place, we had constant action and the fish fought like crazy!!

I'm in Phuket ATM and so far I have been fishing off the rocks at the beach and I have in the past 2 days caught:
3 GT's (20-30cm)
2 mangrove snapper (20cm)
2 huge 10 cm green chromis
A couple wrasse
Some cod or grouper

Sadly I was by myself fishing and I didn't bring my phone with me on holiday

Kleinz you should get these!!

When I was in Bali I saw all these baby turtles cramed in a little container in carefour (an everything shop) so I bought 7 and put them in the hotel pond. The next year we were back in Bali and we went to the same hotel and the are now huge !
