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

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.

I had a stamp collection once! :P

lol ruby

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

Then I'll bring it to Wasteland ;)

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
