@Henk Hugo, I have a 60000 liter swimming pool, think that will be big enough?
Hi Prof Just looking around at the moment, I will get all my ducks in a row before attempting something like this. Thanks for warning me about...
With smaller tanks you have to pay special attention to the filtration. Due to the smaller volume things go wrong very fast if they do. So make...
@Irma, can you please elaborate on the two import permits that are required and the customs taxes.
@miccimarie, why do you need a canopy for the batta? I am sure he will do quite fine without it, or you can get a piece of glass, cut to the right...
If you are looking for something you don't see everyday, you will obviously pay more for it. And if it is a special import just for you, you can't...
Now you are talking, those are amazing fish you have mentioned. I had a few of them, but lost them when I moved house at the end of 2010. My own...
@Good Times, rather get the problem solved before you think of getting more fish. You can take some tank water to your LFS and get them to test...
Why don't the LFS in our neck of the woods (Jhb and Pta) stock them as well. Very nice looking fish. Would love to get my hands on some of those.
I have approached a few LFS with a request for some fish, but without much luck. Not many of them import fish directly from the overseas...
@tracyp, normal run of the mill lettuce that has been in boiling water for a bit.
Those corner filters that run off air pump are ineffective. The flow rate is unknown and the filter media capacity is to small. If you can, rather...
What filter do you have in the tank? How often do you test your water parameters, and do the results of the tests determine when you do water...
Hi, I know that quite a few members have experience at importing fish from various places in the world. At one stage @Dolphin really offered some...
No, vinegar. You want to see if the acid in the vinegar reacts with the rock. Use pool acid if you don't have vinegar. Just be careful with the...
Don't think so. Normal white wine vinager is the stuff you should use. Look in the pantry, there should be some there.
Thanks Gert, forgot to mention Cities. Something we rarely think of.
Nope, in Waverly. Between Soutpans berg and Micheal Brink.
Boiling the rock won't make a difference if there is a reaction to the vinegar. If there is no reaction boiling before putting it in the tank is...
Nope, as you walk in the door, fish on the left hand side of the shop.
