LOL no problem, ive used PVC before in tanks, no effect. :P

Hmmm right then...i'll have to put some more thought into this then... :?

Most good aquarium stores stock coral sand. I used that for my tank and it raises the ph as well as fitting in way better than normal gravel does. You however should look out for salt buildup around your tank and filter, you need to remove the stuff like once a month.. not that its dangerous but...

It waa mentioned on another thread that zinc is non toxic. Is this true? :)

Thats what i suggested earlier. Where can you get that kind of paint on plastic? :?

Shell dwellers are awsome little fish, and you can watch them for hours on end as they constantly re-arrange their little shell homes by moving gravel one stone at a time! i keep dwarf shell dwellers, with the cute bright blue eyes, check out my welcome wagon post. As these are smaller, i have a...

Just took a few pics of my fish to show you what kind of fish i'm keeping at the moment. I keep and breed a small colony of Neolamprologus multifasciatus, the smallest known cichlids. Their absolutely awsome little fish! I love cichlids as they seem to be pretty intelligent compared to other...

Hmm thats a good point, perhaps its the fact its only a small amount compared to the massive chunks i wanted to use... does anyone know if pvc plumber piping is ok?

Plecos are very cute and interesting fish, i had a pair which spawned once (the babies are soooo tiny!)... unfortunatly it was in my dwarf shell dwelling chiclid tank and they didnt survive more than a week... :( I now have a spare tank always on hand for those unexpected occurences!

I'm in sydney! :) lol where abouts are you? I might be able to take some off your hands, how bad is it? :?

Ah... i suspected as much... :x So if stainless is dangerous, would coating it in something make it less so? I mean... if something did get through it would be pretty obvious and a half yearly or yearly re-coat to keep waterproofness would be needed. Would that be effective? If not i'll have...

Lol yeah i suppose it is! :D The school certificate is a government run test you do in year 10. practically useless if you continue on till the high school certificate in year 12 however people pressure you alot :( . And regarding my tanks, freshy... my pockets arn't deep enough for...

lol yeah you don't really want a current through your tank! 8O Thanks for all the advice, i've decided on stainless as it seems most suitable. The basic idea is a large about half inch thick strip of stainless bent or hammered into a half mobius strip sort of design, and another piece cut into...

EDIT: Nah fluff got it, forgot about those. http://fish.orbust.net/images/ancistrus.jpg :) Heres the bristlenose suckerfish link anyway just in case.

Before i start im sorry if this has already been brought up, i tried a search and didnt find anything! Now... In making up my new 3 foot tank setup i'm aiming for something unusual and striking, a kinda merge between my fish keeping interest and my construction interest, so i've drawn up a few...

Hey! My names Angus Deveson, i'm 15 (nearing 16) and live in sydney, NSW Australia. I've been keeping fish for years now, and my use of the internet has led me to this place! Finaly somewhere people actualy understand the technical and somewhat magical art of keeping fish. :P Alittle about...
