Re: help porcupine puffer with cloudy eyes

You should be showing some Nitrates especially with a cannister filter on there, you sure your tank is cycled? What type of test kit are you using. With the skimmer and live rock ( how much live rock) you shouldn't need to be using a cannister filter at all. With IP's you should see stringy white p...

Re: Our cockatiel Hannibal

nice bird mate, we also keep them i've got 5 in total and the oldest one if 24 years old, he's also a right character. a grumpy old sod is what he's nicknamed, he can do the tune of the tellyphone and can so the simpsons theme tune. he also goes into attack mode when you try and take his food away
