lol, can i watch feeding time kietz? :P

id like to see your setup sometime, and get some pointers off you if possible?

thinkin of gettin rid of these overzised goldfish and starting up my tropical as soon as we are in the new house

Edited by craig R33
ME =] i got tropical setup 6 foot XD~~ with some very expensive fishies

I have a nice Octagonal 120lt tank that did have well over $500 worth of marine fish and coral in it, until I bought my dream fish - a Flame Angel (for the bargain price of $200). Unbeknownst to me it had a fungal eye infection when I bought it, which deteriorated over the next 3 weeks, and after $100 of medications and carry-on later, it, and my whole tank of fish/coral was dead.

I chucked the tank and all the gear out in the shed and that was it.

I am actually about to re-do the tank with freshwater tropical - I have a little 40Lt Jebo tank here in my office wiht a few Rainbow Gouramis and half a dozen colourful guppies, which I will chuck in the re-done tank. No more marine for me :P

Craig - unless you are prepared to buy an external canister filter, 2 mechanical internal filters, internal protein skimmer, $200+ of live rock, religiously change at least 20% of water, spend the $10 per week on salt to keep the salt levels up in the tank, spend a minimum of $60 per fish (and up to $200 each for the really good fish) to stock it, then I wouldn't even dream about trying a marine tank. It is a very big and expensive commitment. But they look unbelievable when set up and maintained correctly.

yeah, i know its a bit of work, but they look amazing when looked after....

i didnt realize there was THAT much work though.....

def going tropical though

atm i have 4 goldfish each around 20cm long and fat as all hell (120 ea) and various other cold water colours

but im bored of them, too easy to look after, and not enough variation

if you keen to sell the corner unit, let me know,

lookin after a tropical tank is easy peasy just need a good filter, i bought my fluval fx5 about a year ago and only changed the water every 6 months and fish still happy =D just remember to feed the fishes thats all you need to worry about.

craig buy cichlids if you want bright colours for your tropical setup eg, electric yellow, african peacocks, discus??, i got an Arowana, 2 electric yellows, 2 feather fin cat fish, 6 blood parrots, 2 big plecos, and 2 african peacocks.

thanks keitz, just googled them, nice fish!

ruby, you get round to callin that place?

I call lotsa places every day ... which one did you mean?

Hold that! I just recalled what you're on about. The lads at Gepps Cross said they'd give me a call back on the Saturday (I think), but never heard from them. I'll swing by later on tonite (after my meeting) and nut out a date.

im not a racist person, but i find the young lads of

ethnic background are the worst in that matter.

but what can you do? you cant say anything,.

well you can, but they will prob open up a can of whoop ass and we will be the ones in jail for assult :P

EDIT: shit i thought this was wasteland, soz

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
