Now, for something completely DIFFERENT! ;)

Whoo hoo!! Finally the "Westcoast" tank is up and running!! Can't wait to see all those colourfull nemmies & urchins you'll be collecting. I'll have to come and look...
 
Many thanks Riyad - LOL.... ask the okes (like Jaak) who have seen this tank before..... it was my "small" APTAISIA FARM. Currently, I can probably count the aptaisia on one hand. The cold water will SURELY limit their growth and reproduction, as it also reduces the aptaisia's metabolisms.

Jaak - you more than welcome to mate. Tank is still a wee bit sparse, but yesterday was a very successful urchin, and cushion start collecting day. I was not TOO successful with the cold water nemmies.
One get's the MOST awesome cold water anemone's - perhaps sometime, I can get me some strawberry jewel anemone's too! ;)

It's just a REAL bugger collecting the anemone's, because I don't want t kill them by trying to remove them from the rocks. And them rocks are just UNBELIEVABLY hard.

Next time, I am taking a "gwarra" with me ;) (now - who all knows that funny word? ;))
 
Are we allowed to use those tools - I heard even if caught with a chisel and hammer its worse than committing murder - Everything can be confiscated and you locked up and the keys thrown away!
 
Apparently with those tools in hand Parks and Recreational officers see only one thing - you there to damage the reefs and shoreline - I even was once told to put back sandstone because it was damaging the enviroment by taking them from the beach (dry dead rocks) or face a hefty fine if I didnt comply! When I showed them my permit they used the same line on me - it says fish and livestock - nothing about rocks so they was giving me a hard time! I just put it back quietly!
 
jacquesb so i see you winning the battle with the aptaisia..awesome..

gwarra :confused1::confused1: i think it is some type of kaapie lingo...
 
jacquesb a gwarra is a dance, the dance that the coons do new years day...but not too sure on that...
 
Spot on! at your'lls Cape Coon Carnival also the nick name of a musical instrument and slang used if people are fighting and arguing with one another but without hate and malice - just a very heated debate! (Like how it gets here on the forum - differences in opinion are voiced but without predjudice and hate - We GWARRA here on MASA)
 
In the farmland of Newcastle it keeps you out of trouble if just gaining general knowledge passes your time away - surfing the net, stealing passages from the wifes library books and just getting to know people from all over helps!
 
Jacquesb - I noticed most of our local kzn fish dont have nice tempers towards LFS and imported fish - Is it the natural Africa animal instinct in them or is it just the fish we find are in their nature to be aggro towards imported inmates - also besides the temp differences what about the "lifestyle" of yourll's local fish compared to kzn coast buggers!
 
Hey jacquesb, at the royal cape yacht club, on the docks there are awesome anemones ive seen some orange jewel anemones and here are some colours i have seen when i get there again ill take photos and post for u so u can see, ive seen, red, green, brown, pink, blue, orange, and a few anemones thats colours are some of those mixed, hope u enjoy your new experience with this tank
 
Very nice Jacques - I always liked a cold water tank, especially that one on Oregon Reef.com - can't wait to see yours mature :)
Now where's the FTS???? HMMM????
