Can we use pantyhose:bigsmile: stockings, the beige ones for holding filter media (eg: carbon) and does the colour matter?

Risen

Sure. Depends if they have been used or not. If so rinse and use.

Fish Fantasy
05-06-2009, 09:04
No They haven't been used, still brand new! Cool will rinse and use!!! Thanks a million that saves me money on filter media bags!

Does you wife know what is going to happen to her pantyhose she bought last weekend? LOL

LoL - I'm a GAL not a guy, therefore, according to the rules stipulated in the 'Ladies Manual', we are allowed changing the rules at any time should we see fit to do so (ANY married man will know this to be true) :blink1:. I therefore use this right to change the rules to state that anything said or posted by a FEMALE is NOT crazy, merely FACT. :p:bigsmile: lol

Yeah well, I was having some fun yesterday, and somebody went and gave me negative rep power for "pissing the admin off"

No worries....I'm sure that will be amended in the long run.......:blink1:

Fish Fantasy
05-06-2009, 11:26
So right Veegal!! One Up for the ladies! LOL!!!

As in life you'll get people even on this sight who have no sense of humour! I have to joke around it's in my nature and i'm not going to change and neither should you Carping just because of one negative rep power. Remember the wheel turns for the nasty people!!!

Ah thanks Fishy, I agree with you. And nobody will change me either. I will always crack a joke if the opportunity is there..... Some people just need to relax a bit around their bum muscles LOL

Fish Fantasy
05-06-2009, 11:34
LOL!!! So right! Just be yourself. :bigsmile:

Cool - I'll hold you to that! :p

Carping
05-06-2009, 11:52
Good, then I wont need a GPS..... You can show me around to the best shops in you valley...
On a more serious note, if I buy some fishies down there, how quickly do I need to get home?

veegal
05-06-2009, 11:58
It depends on how you pack them, if packed correctly they can easily last 24-48 hours.

Carping
05-06-2009, 12:06
24-48 hours should be ok. I dont drive that slow LOL

Fish Fantasy
05-06-2009, 12:21
Ye! That would be cool we should orginise that everyone in jhb should get together!

Carping
05-06-2009, 12:24
Agree with you there Fishy. By the sound of it the guys in CPT has a nice group going there. They go out as a group to the different shops and then tan a meat afterwards.

And they are always right so there is no point argueing this point any further.

Fish Fantasy
05-06-2009, 12:48
That's nice we should do something like that over here in jhb get together and do what they do? How about everyone else what do you guys think?

Carping
05-06-2009, 12:53
As far as I know, it's just you and me from the East here. The rest are from the West or North of Jhb

Fish Fantasy
05-06-2009, 13:07
That's just great!! our big group:five: just went down the toilet:toilet: Ok so we make it a small group.

Hi guys, I know it is a bit far, but there use to be a very active aquarist club in PTA, they would get together on thursday evenings at the aquarium at the zoo, have talks, swop or sell equipment and fish, arrange field trips for over weekends and some even went up killifish collecting in our northern neibours. If you like I can try and get contact details for you.

Carping
05-06-2009, 13:26
That would be great RR, pm me the details when you get the details.

Fish Fantasy
05-06-2009, 13:28
Hey Carping what do you think of Rogerrabbit's idea? It might be to far, maybe closer to home I think.

Alright get the details we'll check it out!

Carping
05-06-2009, 13:39
Distance is not the problem. Traffic is.... It will all depend on at what time they have their gettogethers. R21 is heavily packed till about 19H30 at night. What do you have in mind?

Fish Fantasy
05-06-2009, 13:46
That's what i was worried about i work in Midrand and i know how that stupid highway gets especially with all the road works but lets get the details from Roger and then we can make a decsion from there! :)

Carping
05-06-2009, 13:47
Good idea

Fish Fantasy
05-06-2009, 13:49
cool!!!

Fish Fantasy
01-07-2009, 10:11
Hey Carping! Did Roger PM you the details for that Aquarist club in PTA yet?

Fish Fantasy

No problem as soon as we get them we'll PM you the details then maybe we can all get together.

Slojo
01-07-2009, 10:30

butcherman
01-07-2009, 15:38

Slojo

Slojo

LOL
We can meet on a Saturday/Sunday.
Lots of venues.
Lets pop a few here then decide where and when.
Suggestions?

Fish Fantasy
01-07-2009, 16:01
Maybe we should all meet at a public venue first then make a plan from there!

ok we need a place between PTA and Boksburg?

butcherman
01-07-2009, 16:04
what other areas do we have ppl from in jhb?

Slojo
01-07-2009, 16:05
Anywhere is fine by me.
Cant wait.
I am very excited about this.

butcherman
01-07-2009, 16:07
lol will there be any specific agenda or just and informal meet and greet?

Fish Fantasy
01-07-2009, 16:07
Maybe a pub or resturant to start out, just to get to know everyone first then we can talk shop!

veegal
01-07-2009, 16:09
Hey guys (and gal :D) wouldn't it be easier to start a social group on the forum to arrange the ins and outs? I'm getting jealous reading this and we can't join....lol

Fish Fantasy
01-07-2009, 16:10
Ag shame! Veegal if only you were closer it would be brilliant to meet you maybe we should ship you up for the first meeting lol!!!

butcherman
01-07-2009, 16:10
good idea maybe start a new thread lol and come up with a name for this social club.

veegal
01-07-2009, 16:11
Ag shame! Veegal if only you were closer it would be brilliant to meet you maybe we should ship you up for the first meeting lol!!!

Brilliant idea!!!! Don't forget to add LOADS of oxygen in my bag though - I'm slightly larger than your 'average' fish which gets shipped :p:blink1:

Slojo

So it looks like we're just going to have to start our own club then!

Your suggestion you can start new thread

Fish Fantasy
01-07-2009, 16:16
Go to General Off Topic Chat the new thread is there. :)
