gtr73 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Had one of those good weekends for fishkeeping. Started off with a first time visit to Redlands Pet Centre. Met Russ, nice bloke, I was impressed that he remembered my PM from two days before. Sold me a couple of things for that fantastic discount (I should've got more but the missus would have killed me). Even the Purigen at the normal price was a good price, and finally got myself a primo Jager Heater. Also saw he has a nice selection of cichlids. Great shop, highly recommend it. Friday night put a bag of Purigen into my HOB filter on my display tank. Next day Saturday wake up to be pleasently surprised to see the water to be crystal clear - amazing stuff that Purigen. My tank has never looked so good. Saturday arvo rearranged the display tank, did a water change and intoduced my newish but still smallish Ps Zebra Long Pelvic into the display. What a great effect this had on the display! The Zebra Long Pelvic hasn't displayed his full colour but his mere presence has ignited all the other fish, so now my tank looks amazing. My Hongi, Labeotropheus Trewavasae are now showing full colour 80-90% the time (previously only half the time) along with the Cobalt Blue, Electric Yellow, and Red Zebs now twice as active. Thankfully, nothing overly aggressive from any fish, the ZLP himself is quite happy and not shy or hiding. Yesterday Sunday, my Electric Yellow colony spawned again and now have a female holding in the maternity tank. Easily caught her, straight into the net. Finally, I moved some juvie Ps Elongatus Mpanga out of my E. Yellow nursery tank - all too easy, caught them in about 2 minutes (wow, normally they're hard to catch and takes me 10 minutes). Now my E.yellow fry are happy they aren't being nipped by the Mpanga and the Mpanga are happy in their own tank and showing some good color. Just fantatsic when everything just clicks together nicely. All too often you see the horror stories posted on forums, so it's good to report a good weekend of fishkeeping!

japes Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Always good to hear about the pleasantries of fish-keeping instead of going through horror stories or tanks exploding and heaters boiling fish! Friday night put a bag of Purigen into my HOB filter on my display tank. Next day Saturday wake up to be pleasently surprised to see the water to be crystal clear - amazing stuff that Purigen. My tank has never looked so good. Completely agree, I'm never running another tank without Seachem Purigen, it's magic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loachlover Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Brought some Purigen and The Bag from Russ after the Bayfish Trip but have not used it yet. I think I will go and do a waterchange and add it right now after reading such Glowing Reports from all that use it. Cheers Graeme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
