Re: Steve's "getting back on the horse" nano - Now with plan Hey Steve, Wonderful nano! Can ask what lighting you have on it? where did you get it from?

What a cool idea. Can't wait to see the end result!

Amazing photos! Looks like a wonderful way of spending a beautiful summer's day. Where were they taken? O and loving the drink at the same time haha!

Alzac, getting your other half to take part in the hobby is the biggest hurdle of all! haha

I can hear the brain cells working! hehe

I think we should hire a coach for the day and pick up people along the way! a TGM day out!

Thanks Jason! Yeh I have been to HK fish street many times since I was a kid.....my parents had to prize me away kicking and screaming because I would not leave haha :P So many times I wanted to buy things and bring it all back home! Unbelieveable things on sale and the prices :-O

What did they have in the market? Got any pictures?

Hahaa....did you really go there just for the fish market? I have been meaning to go to the TGM for a loooong time! Combination of distance and subconscious procrastanating to avoid me spending all the money I have!

Matt that LFS.......would it be TGM by any chance? hehe

Of course! It's all relative to everyone's situation. When I was a kid I spent all my pocket money on fish and equipment!!! All my family members thought I was mad...well maybe I was a little :P

Anyone else with stories of Herculean efforts?

Thanks Sam, I think I will go down the FE route as it proves more economical and there is a local refiller. I am just looking into different places I could get an FE from. Also looking into which regulators and solenoid to buy. I am a little worried about buying ones from abroad in case things...

Really? Even FEs? How much do they charge?

Sam I don't think that is mad at all.........just a necessity lol I've never seen an opti-white tank in the flesh (or should that be in the glass) but I ordered a 4ft tank with an opti-white front glass to arrive in the summer so I can't wait! Stickleback that is the kind of story I am thinking...
