Masters in mathematics; stand out in the crowd - Is it the tank top and trousers that don't quite cover your socks? :lol: :lol: :lol: I disagree wholeheartedly. The point is that while you may be cabin crew you have the option to be doing something else. Whereas if you start out being cabin...

I think what most people believe when they begin to study at undergrad level is that the course they are pursuing will form their career. As LD and others have stated they are no longer following that path but they are still employed at degree level salaries. The title of degree implies a level...

Hi all, I know this may be dead and buried by now but there is this http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=38343&C=Newsletter&U=08P11-2&T=12779530 on the Maplin site at the moment and it is dirt cheap. Hope it's of some use. Cheers, Tim

Hi, I have an 18" tank and i sourced an 18" (adjustable) luminere style light from ebay which uses 8w 12" T5 tubes of which there are three - 24W. Also they are switchable 2 and 1 tubes so you could operate at 8W or 16W if you so wished. Tubes are readily available. Unfortunately, however, I...

Action men - that's pigging brilliant. they could represent authoritarianism. The shopping trolley could represent urban decay and consumerism. Now what can I use to convey gaian philosophy. :? The Turner prize is in the bag - and half will go to ukaps. (well maybe a 10th) :D

thanks for the links guys - most entertaining - but more in the style of Beryl Cook than Damian Hurst. Has anyone created a tank full of formaldehyde with some dead plants floating in? Or a tank with an un-made river-bed in it!! :lol: Where's the art? :? :? :? :?

Are there any examples of avante garde aquascapes (or even a movement :? ). Using modern materials or unusual approaches to form and composition and utilising different materials and methods. :) Any "aqua banksey's" out there? I was thinking about making a scape using a piece of shopping...

Trouble with that answer is that if you apply it to a heater it tells you that a 100w heater uses 2.4kw/hrs per day - which is blatantly untrue (unless you keep your tank in a fridge :? ) So unless you're looking at worst case it would be difficult to form an accurate answer. :D Incidentally...

Hi Aaron, Your electricity supplier will quote a price per unit of electricity which take the form of price per kilowatt hour. This means the cost of running a 1 kilowatt appliance for one hour e.g. a 2kilowatt fire would consume two units of electricity in one hour (2 x 1kw/hr) - if your...

If you dream about public liability insurance I recommend a long, long holiday - somewhere warm and possibly padded. :lol: I should imagine with water, electricity and heavy weights you are looking at quite a hefty bill with public liability. But, I believe it will be worth every penny for...

Caravanning in Pembroke this weekend. :D (not a tourer - relax!) Must get revenge on my "significant other" by dragging her around a few fish shops using latin names for fish & plants (inaccurately) - just to annoy, you understand. :lol: Can anyone direct me to some good shops? It would be...

On the subject of timers I am about to use a central heating timer to control lights & CO2 solenoid. The reasoning - two independent time intervals adjustable over a 7 day period with multiple time periods available throught the day. Add to this a real time clock with battery backup, so if the...

I think this is exactly what the artist is trying to do - create debate. I don't think anyone on the forum is trying to say that the "idea" of this is informed and acceptable. I can't comment on others but my comments were made with tongue firmly in cheek. The idea is well formed though...

Got some snails from snailshop today and didn't realise how entertaining MTS can be. The "Linford Christies" of the snail world. :D Within seconds of putting them in they started charging about the tank like teenagers trying to grab the back seat on the coach, barging and charging in, checking...

Aquaessentials have this one http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=196_197&products_id=677 and I was just about to post for some info to see if anyone had any experience as they are cheap. :? I'm after a reactor for an 11gallon tank to replace the diffuser...
