Hi @Wolfaard, looks like a stunning tank! As @top_dog mentioned, if the tiles are layed with solid adhesive (i.e. not the 5 spots - I'm in the...
You can hunt around, there are a couple of threads about Spiderwood, with many suggested places to shop - my tank is 75cm, and I have wood that...
Sounds like major work - but then again, all good pioneers are not shy of doing hard work! Keep us posted and good luck!
I soak wood for two reasons - 1: to kill any nasties on or near the surface (as @fishcrazy says, you are not going to get to the core unless you...
@Marco Hope they are going to good homes! Please keep me in mind for the next batch, they look like great stock and we know they have been raised...
So rewarding when you see an image like that (beautiful parents and full tummies)! @Marco let us know when you are ready to let some of those...
If you are going east, there is a place just off the R21 on high road called birds and pets for africa, they had some awesome pieces of spiderwood...
@cheekychops Please keep a bag for me! Want to see if it will take the heat..
@Biggles - sorry for your loss! Nothing like seeing such beautiful fish die slowly! Keep going, it is worth the effort. @Jenn I think @Biggles...

Yip, I dose 35 per dose, but getting the tabs is another issue. Clicks and Dischem don't give without script... Also, be sure to ask for the...
@jagga - also very keen on these beauties - please let us know how much you want for them etc.
That should be fine, only other challenge may be the cold, but bacteria normally go into dormancy if that is the case, so won't die off - good...
@Biggles if you are going to let the tank stand dry for a day or two you will need a full cycle. Bacteria should be able to stay alive for 4-8...
@blueskipjack - yip, very cool little snails, but I believe they are on the black list in South Africa, so you may struggle to find them.
@DCWarHound let me know via PM if you are looking, have spotted them at several LFS on the east rand (none of them are sponsors though).
Earth Eaters have become very popular in JHB the last while, more and more of them available. Pics 2, 3 and 4 look like Geophagus Surinamensis...
@Barry.M same here, but I use the Sera Peat pellets - just to be safe. Replace it every 4-6 weeks. @thysie be careful where you source your peat...
