Thanks guys for your kind words, sorry to have hijacked this thread a bit. I will keep you updated when i can. Many Thanks, Simon.

Thanks Matt, They are keeping me spaced out on painkillers most of the time but i dont remember the crash at all, nor the helicopter ride to the hospital in oxford (where i was at the time). They are 100% sure i will be able to try walking in a few weeks but will not regain my previous health...

Hi guys glad you had a good night, sorry i missed this but as i type i am in hospital with 2 broken legs, a busted knee, 1 broken arm and most of my ribs broken where some looney crashed into my car on the 13th october. should be able to try walking in another 3 weeks and hopefully home just...

Hey Jagz, Nice start, looking forward to seeing this one progress. :thumbup: Do you feel the FX5 will give you enough flow for the planted tank? I know there is a careful balance with plants and discus, as the plants will really appreciate a high flow around the tank with CO2 being...

Hi Tom, Unfortunately i have to work today, although i only go to the office 1 day a week so working from home right now. Have a good one setting up the school tank, look forward to seeing some pictures soon. Simon.

Re: Liza's 20L Nano Tank Totally agreee #1 for me, the look like a mountain range in the distance, beautiful rocks. Simon.

Great tank for your first planted you should feel proud of your achievements. One reason you may be struggling with Algae is that you may not be getting enough CO2 with your DIY ladder setup, especially as you have 3wpg, but some of the more experienced aquarists on this site would confirm...

If its not too late for an invite count me in as i only live 30 mins away from Dan's :D

The stone he was using was a duel layer (coarse/smooth) sharpening stone. I have one for my japanese and chinese cleavers and knives. You can find one here from amazon for £8. http://www.amazon.co.uk/diamond-brand-s ... B00143BH4K Hope that helps. Simon.

First photo is me in the middle on the Li river near Guilin in China and the 2nd in Guilin itself. Check out the mountains, if thats not inspiration i dont know what is :mrgreen:

As with anything in life where you get people together there will be disagreements and differing points of view, and a forum is no exception, however i am not here to tell you how good you are or how you will be missed you have enough telling you that allready. All i will say is that you cannot...

Thanks for the quick reply. If you can post that link it will be very much appreciated, obviously i dont want to be collecting materials inside the national park :oops: but was thinking more of the surrounding rivers, and the coast. Simon.

Brilliant Idea George you have inspired me :clap: Just out of curiosity what are the potential legal issues of collecting wild hardscape, just that i am off to Criccieth in North Wales (just outside Snowdonia national park on the coast) on the 4th Sept for 2 weeks and would love to bring back...

your welcome, let me know how it works out for you as i am looking at that set to go along with an FE when i get set up late september. Simon.

They have those kits in maidenhead aquatics and i would have to agree with Dave they look to be insufficient for your needs, i would go with a JBL D&D set if you dont want to go for the full fire extenguisher route, may be more expensive than the one in your post but at least you are getting...
