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.

Yeah if you do it right you can pretty much have the aquariums look after themselves.

I had tanks for 15 odd years before I moved into my old place and havent bothered to set another one up...

Best advice is to get a powerhead and attach it to an undergravel filter, and then get some hardy fish in to start the bacteria culture up... add the plants and stones and what not, and give it at least a month before putting the really expensive fish in...

Livebearers (guppies, platys, mollies) are pretty tough, you can use fighting fish (bettas) as well since theyre from cambodian bogs and have the ability to breathe oxygen from the air... just make sure when you get an aquarium you plan the mixture of fish. Nothing worse than putting an angelfish or a red tailed black shark in and have them bully every other fish in the aquarium... get some docile fish like bumblebees or kuhli loaches, some catfish to keep the gravel clean of uneaten food and a couple of golden snails to eat algae (or a bristle nosed catfish)... you'll have a nice lookin' tank in no time

just dont skimp on the plant life or the equipment

My dad has had his tropical fish tank up and running i reckon for atleast most of my life. Hes gone through two fishtanks...both 4 foot ones. His original one broke, he tried to save some of the fish by putting them in a plastic tub...only fish that lived was a clown loach (this was like 10 years ago maybe??) and that clown loach is still alive today - bloody hardy fish.

He's also gone through his fair share of discus - love the fish but keep seeming to have trouble with them dying. He recently had some weird disease with his discus, killed 4 of em :)

And since then hes bought another 5, one of em which liked to chase all the others so hes got it seperate in a clear plastic box thing in the tank haha.

But yeah dads got clown loaches, cardinal tetras, a few of the guppies from my tropical fishtank on my bedside table ;) , congo tetras and a shitload of bristlenosed catfish cos they had babies :P

My lil 22lt tank is currently down cos with year 12 i don't get the chance to change the water....but dad changes his every week - 40%. Trying to keep those bloody expensive discus alive. But yeah, after year 12 i'll have it going again....dad suggested getting a breeding pair of cichlids....so we'll see how that goes. :(

Anyway...just thought i'd share - some people are REALLY sto0pid....fail??

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
