#362086 New/re-Done Tang Setup

Posted by Chopstick_mike on 08 June 2017 - 10:29 PM

Sounds almost identical to my setup I put some comb up and glued it in place with gold label silicon worked a treat.
I keep 6 bar Burundis with some julidechromis regani , black calvus and ventralis chituta

If it works out well for you guys (which I hope it does) will do wonders with the availability of natives as I don't see much of them in our local LFS

#361764 Complete Tank Setup Cost

Posted by Chopstick_mike on 18 May 2017 - 12:13 PM

I would say 800 max as the tank has been patched the biggest selling point is that beast of a filter not cheap to buy

The tangs seemed to command a decent bidding especially the shell dwellers they went at a decent price for the sellers

#361251 Shark Attacks

Posted by Chopstick_mike on 20 April 2017 - 05:00 PM

Why does anyone want great whites around? this puzzles me, what benefits does the world get from having GWS? look at the benefits off wiping the GWS from the face of the Earth, safer for swimmers and surfers, we give the poor seals a break and more snapper and Tuna for us to catch and eat. the list goes on and on.....

The Apex predator theory biologists sprout is questionable and to me as believable as global warming/climate change (insert whatever name "climate scientists" decide to call climate today to milk money from the Government), the megalodon shark which apparently used to prey on GWS or its ancestors became extinct and the ocean fishery and whites didn't collapse, the white population has exploded because whites lost their apex foe's and need more predators.

that is the most ignorant and outrageous thing I've read on this topic.....Why stop there let's kill off the lion , tiger population as well while we at it we might as well just kill off pandas too cos they do nothing for nature either.
You know we as a species are to blame for most the problems you are saying would be Beneficial if GWS were killed off.

That's great the numbers of whites is on the rise I couldn't care less if more people are attacked!!!
If you go swimming in the ocean then You take the risk of being attacked (very slim risk).

If you make the trip down to Perth bigjohnno is the man to see.
I'm sure if bagged correctly the travel time won't affect them at all

#361107 Water Change With Sump

Posted by Chopstick_mike on 15 April 2017 - 11:28 AM

I pump from main tank and once the last chamber is drained I turn pump off ,just be careful when you turn the pump off you will create a back siphon so make sure you have a siphon break.

Regarding the fine sand I had the same issue and unfortunately the best option was to change it over to coarse pool filter sand which works much better
