    was away from home this weekend , only to come back and only to find no power and most of my fish dead .

    i usually get a call from the alarm company to say our power is off and i then send someone to check but got not phone call .

    i have a battery pump pump for each tank and had i got the phone call then this could have been used.

    sucks to have to start all over again, had some of my fish for over five years .

    so after all of this , i have decided to downscale and will be selling my tanks , save for the 6ft .

    if anyone interested let me know, i have a 1.5 meter curved glass tank with two canister filters for R3000 .00 neg

    and a 1.2 meter jebo with canister filter for 2000 rands .

    Oh no - very sad. Which part of the country are you from? - I could donate some plants, and some guppies to cycle your tank (as well as an extremely hardy molly). :)

    Sorry to hear that Enver. For how long was the power out?

    If you are serious about selling, go advertise with pictures in the Equipment Classifieds section.

    Thanks guys, i was running three tanks , 1.8 mtr, 1.5 mtr and a 1.2 mtr

    getting rid of two so not leaving the hobby completely , could not leave it if i tried lol.



    will start another community tank in the 1.8 and maybe at a later stage will get another 1.8 mtr for my malawis and cychlids .

    oscar , you are right , this time around i can change start afresh , and chose my fish carefully when restocking .

    Pauline thank you for the offer, but i am in jhb.

    Sorry to hear. :(

    As some of the others have suggested above, maybe use the opportunity to start with something else?
