  7. Does Anyone Know Jon Mack?

    in Chit Chat

    Posted · Edited by Nuke Bowel

    Hello all,

    I have tried e-mailing and starting conversations via msn to Jon Mack to simply ask for login details to word press which he built my website on, my website is dated and I have found another web designer who's prepared to sort it out.

    I know Jon maybe busy, but I'm not asking for much, just a quick reply with my log in details which I feel I deserve if he's not prepared to continue to look after my website.

    Any help would be most appreciated.

    Luke

    You don't need any of that shit in the water if you have a matured tank. Get yourself a small heater, set to what your tank temp is, makes water changes a lot easier and you dont have to wait 12 hours for the water to be up to temperature. Another thing, get yourself a decent cannister filter i.e Eheim 2215/7 depending on how much water it holds. You wont get any problems with water quality, and you also have enough filter media for bacteria to colonise. Only need cleaning out every 6 months by giving them a flush with tank water.

    Test the pH of your water before messing with the tank though, or u'll end up going to low or to high. Tetras can live between 6-7.5 on the pH scale.

    Yerr, this lad knows all there is to be known about fish by the sounds of things...

    Yes you could put a heater in, but what's the point when you can just leave water over night and forget about it without purchasing a heater.

    Fluval make the best pumps in my opinion, they seem to work for us anyways we have 2, 1 either side.

    One minute you are saying change water once a week, now it's 6 months, make up your mind...

    Like I say, we have had our tank going for 20+ years so I think we may possibly know what we are talking about.

    We run our tank exactly the same as Chris at plymouth discus and he knows everything there is to know.

    All I know is, we can keep our Discus for years, and they are fish that have to be in perfect conditions.

    When changing water you should put a bucket of water to stand over night to get to room temperature, you should add Tetra aqua safe to this.

    Personally I only change water on a monthly basis and only 20 - 25% at one time. NEVER take all the water out.

    Always wash the filters in the aquarium water that's been taken out. When replacing filter sponges only replace one at a time.

    On a weekly basis I use Tetra nitrate minus, API ammonia lock and Waterlife bacteria life. These shouldn't all be added at once. Between those they will keep your water fresh. Once your tank has matured you can also use Tetra easy balance and that can cut your water changes down to, 2-3 month.

    The less you fuss with the fish the better it is!

    If you are keeping the Tetra family your water needs to be between 6.5 and 6.8 ph. You can get a water life bacteria life powder which will automatically set it to this.

    If you would like me to write a complete list of how I run my tank I will happily do this for you.

    I would recommend Chris @ www.plymouthdiscus.co.uk for all your Tropical needs! He's a top man, mention that Malcolm Bowen sent you there ;)

    I'll try and get some pics of mine and my fathers tropical tank which has been running for around 20 years. We keep a few discus mixed with cardinals, rummy nose tetras etc. I notice people are discusing water changes, I'll put a post up tomorrow of how we do it and clean our filters. We only use still bottled water in our tank to eliminate all the crap that comes from the tap, chlorine etc! I dont want to sound up my arse, but there's not much I dont know about tropical fish, so if you need to know anything fire some questions at me!!

    it all goes ok, till someone posts nudes.

    you got a girlfriend, might as well post her

    oh yea, and tf is made up of a bunch of losers that never get laid, were all sad acts who sit at home eating walkers sensations whilst beating one off to the avon catalogue.(maybe just me)

    Hahah!

    Nothing has changed then since I have been gone then?

    I may just start a thread and see if we can make it last us a year at least!
