I used to do this @ coalville aquatics. I'd setup scapes let them settle and then sell them as seen. Let the person buying take lots of pix and videos incase stuff moved around. So they could put it back exactly. Stuff with bubblewarp to help keeps things inplace etc. This was very popular when...

Evening shots. All the moss from forum members have come. They are just floating for now. I will attach to the skulls when back. Lots more fry venturing out from the dense planting in the far left corner.

Enzyme based cleaners arrived and worked great. Really Scrubbed the floors. Sprayed it neat in the heavily soiled areas. Also used spray foam on the carpets which has helped alot. I've spent most of today cleaning the house and tidying up his areas. As he is at the kennels now till the 18th...

It's going to be alot better once the jungle starts to cover all the hardscaping more. New ferts arrived last night so will start them once the TNC finishes.

I've setup a camera this morning to ensure that Son does feed the fish while I'm gone. And have made sure he puts alarms for everyday, thankfully he's only 10 doors down from me. So he can't complain its far too walk to mine. Going to do a big water change and harvest as many snails as I can...

Actually I have tried pens with him as a puppy. I had to bungee cord them to the rads. Or else he would push the cage around the room. Or he would limb out of them during the day. And then could not get to his bowl or his water. So pens were out. And baby gates were used to contain him to...

Porch Pottys arrived and so did Netraliser. I mopped and scrubbed the floors today and have laid the pottys in the kitchen area. Hopefully he will use them when back from the boarders after the 19th May.

Don't Worry Guys, There are plenty of Forums still plodding along for Monster Fish Keepers. Though they are not as Articulated/Polished as UKAPS. In understand why it was locked and removed etc. I was just being upfront about letting it takes its semi natural course and not removing the smaller...

The Skulls will Be Blended in more once covered in moss, and just glimpses remain. Hence All that Remains.

TNC was coming in at £54 for a 5L, so went with AquaDesign PLANT+ Complete Liquid £28.99 looks ok, and will see what it does.

I'm Surprised I still have a Cherry Shrimp Population in here with all the fish, but see them pootling about without a care amongst the hardscaping. And the growing number of Platty fry are a good sign that they are growing amongst all the hidey holes and plants. The Newest Algae eaters have...

I need this dumbed Down, as I dont understand Dry Ferts at all @dw1305 .

There's also Dragons

I Spend most Mornings having my Breakfast sitting infront of the tank watching them enjoy theirs. I much prefer the height of this as gives a very good viewing angle. I do need to add more foreground plants to blend the skulls in more. As the Ceratosaurus Skull has a marine coral base which...

So After Some Consideration and chatting with Admin for sometime I can Start Posting this thread Again. I sadly Lost the Arowana last Week, Came down one morning and it was dead on the kitchen floor. All I can think of is something Spooked it and it managed to jump with enough force to lift the...

Yeah it is a Quandry theres Pos/Cons for both arguements, But I think I'll get him fixed for peace of mind.

He isn't yet, but I will have him fixed shortly after my upcoming holiday. He only has 1 descended, and there is a risk of Cancer for the undescended one.. So will get him done soon, wouldn't want to risk that with him. His old Vets in Derby never advised getting him done so left it.

They've already been and fitted smoke alarms throughout the house. And LEAP have replaced all the Bulbs etc for LED and given dad Remote controlled plug adapters. So he can turn lamps on etc without getting up. I may have pinched one for the tank lights. Im looking at getting his heating...

Ive Ordered: Pet Buttons - Will program and place around the house and train him to use these. As they also Flash Pet Potty x2 for the kitchen. Odour Neutraliser for Kennels- Talcom Powder scent, as cant use strong scents(migraine trigger) So lets see what difference these make. I'm Also...

Another Cool Gadget, Found one used for £35

I have a strong sense of smell which doesn't help it all.

Thats a good idea, Thanks Ill Have a look into that. And Also Dog Speaking Buttons so he can Shout Wee Wee at Dad

Getting him out the house is also dependant on whether he agrees to bathe that week, won't do more than a weekly bath. Which is a struggle of wills with him.

Oh I did not know that, I'll have a look thanks. Yeah mainly a grain allergy for him. So stick to the grain free kibble from Aldi, its been one of the only ones that suits him. Even tried the Tapioca based one in the past and only lasted a few weeks before runny tummy came back. Even with raw...

Cheers @tam that's all very good advice. I'd forgotten about the porch potties. I'll order a few to see how he reacts to them. I'll put a dirty pad in them so he knows it a wee spot. And see what happens. I might ask at work what the estates team use for the the heavily pet soiled properties...

He has never held it long. He's a lockdown puppy. So he is used to going every 3 hours or so. As during lockdown I'd just leave the consevatory doors open for him to release himself when he needed to. He does hold during the night and normally wakes around 3am for an early morning wee. Then back...

He Does, and dad just ignore him most of the time. I have put in a camera so I can check in and remind dad. As I have to check he is eating the food I prep for him each morning before work. And make sure he's not just eating biscuits and crisps.

So my Bassett Hound keeps weeing by the tank. And the wee ends up under the cabinet. Where I can't get to it, to clean it up. He only does this when I'm in the office on a Thursday/Friday. And it's getting very annoying. I put down wee pad which he will use, but will still wee by the tank. Dad...

Thanks for the Info. I will start dosing at recommended amount and see what happens. As I'm just adding a big glue of it. I'll order this one again

Its actually TNC

Actually sorry work iGel didn't expand the TPN you mentioned it isn't the tropica one it's an dark apple green. I'll check the label, when I remember later

Cheers, I will have a look and see what's best to fill the N&P gap. My Math's is terrible, so for 500L would that be 50ml per week. Plant mass is now Dense filled with loads of Swords and Vallisernia types Will have a browse on eBay and see what 5L tubs are available. Yeah I think it was when...

Looks like a good day for all. I didn't come, I woke up to the Yellow Arrow kamikaze. So didn't feel like going out after that.

Which Ferts should I be Using and how much for the 1500. I still have some of the TPN from @Stid00 and just add a big glug each week after each water change. Can I just order another 5L jug of this or is there a better more affordable option. I do remember loosing shrimp in the past using...

A few pix from Lisbon, This giant cat was spotted on the cable car over the Oceanario de Lisboa, so had to go find it and take pix. It's made from bins lids and hard hats and other plastics. And this was one of my favourite buildings I spotted at Sintra Palace, very gothic vibes in contrast...

Already posted the Florestas, This is the Marine Section which was most Popular with everyone. I enjoyed this alot, as could name most species and offer little factoids about them. Friend would spend most of the time here sitting and just gazing at all the fish, as every little alcove seating...

It's well worth a visit, considering this was only meant to a be temporary installation. It is now permanent in memoriam to the Great Man. There are direct flights from EMA and BHX so you could do this on an overnight trip, but def worth going after 6pm when NO CROWDs in this part. And from the...

Uploading videos to YouTube and then will post here.

Apologies for the delay in posting these. Been a very busy few days upon return. And a very poorly dog since Friday which took priority. I spent 4 days in Lisbon this past week and thoroughly enjoyed my 1st Holiday Abroad since 2013. And my 1st Holiday without family, just me and my best...

This looks stunning, very simple yet captivating.

After spending a total of 5 hours sitting In front of the Florestas in lisboa for the last 5 days. This really does remind me of that.

Just seen them @dw1305 Female Scarlet Badis ~ 1cm

the only fish that dont predate on shrimp are sunedadanio axelrodi as per chris lukhaup. If he has updated his list, it may be worth checking his insta

Well I booked my Trip to Lisbon last night. And with Flights + Luggage + Transfers + Airport Pickup and Drop Off + A 3 Bed Apartment with Cleaning Service etc + Travel Cards + Activities Pass for the 4 Days. It Came to £1500 all in. Its Ridic how expensive the Uk is atm.

cheers will have a look, as dont use amazon very often . Have Ordered a Set

will have a look, but would need to book hols for that. the landmark is lovely, been to a wedding reception there.

With the Play, Travel, Hotel etc and food for the trip im looking at easily1500 and thats just a joke. Will prob end up trying to do in a day and having to rush around for everything. For that Money I can book a 4 day trip abroad and enjoy myself more than a an excursion within the uk. I...

What kind of Set would people recommend when looking at a Steel set. I am thinking about adding one to the new scape and I am not liking the green plastic set that has come with the external. I need 16/22 set, ebay has a few options but not much availability in the uk.

So i have been looking at a long weekend to book a trip to London. And would either like to see the HP Cursed Child or Spirited Away. The Cursed Child is split into 2 parts - and a decent seat is coming up as £540 for 2 people for the 2pm/7pm showing. All the other seats available either have...

Just Started Manacled and its been Very Interesting so far.

Where did you get the hanging Kaonashi from

Its a Veiltail the most commonly bred type.

I Did ask, Its the Big Funko Tiamat - And they emphatically said NO

not too bothered tbh if not playable with the others. just liked the look of them. Yuan Ti is the one i will be using (have checked with the Host) They are on Wrath of the Seven Deadly Sins atm. I said its my 1st time ever playing and could watch, but they are looking forward to crushing a Noob...

I have gone for the following: Drider illithid Yuan Ti I may have to make a trip to the Works to get a nice box to store my Figures in and a dice container.

Oh I like that alot.

He is a Dice Goblin so hopefully the dice will bless me. I have chosen a basic set for now, but may buy a dice making set. So I can create my own etc. Very tempted by a gold plated poly set. Thinking about a Ilithid figure and Loxon figure, they look cool

Oh go there's so much more in this now. And the world has grown to huge proportions. The amount of characters is insane. And now 3D printing is good, you can have whatever you want for your avatars in the game.

So was chatting with one of the Admin team leaders and they play/Host DnD nights and live near me. And have asked if i would be interested in joining the next event. I have said yes and eagerly devouring info on races etc. I have Chosen A Yuan-Ti Snake Abomination Class. Been advised to choose...

Yep that is a Gammarus, fish safe great for the CUC and fish will eat them if they can catch them. Have kept them with shrimp in the past, but can't remember if they competed with each other

The timer failed on the light unit. And its a hair algae swamp now. shrimp love it though. Will leave dark for a few days

Done

Saw these earlier and they are sold out, Does not bode well. Thought they were still banned. Glo Danio

That looks much better, still a flow and not flinging him about

Not HITH, but not seeing any obvious signs to cause sudden death. Though the mouths stuck.open does remind me of something, but can't place it.

Happy New Year to All. One of the best forums I use and will continue to use for many years to come. And its all down to the users and the Admin n Mods keeping it running

I've been using the cheap RGB luminaires from ebay for a few years now and been impressed with them. RGB luminaire

That peice of wood is amazing, looks like a Triceratops

Same your Google album is empty. Just use the attach files in the bottom.left of the reply box. And upload from your device.

no get it out as it will spread hole in the head to the other tankmates

Sorry to go off topic, but i am liking your gothic horror vibe we see peeks of. And chance of some more of that.

That Gourami has been sick for a good while, should not have been sold in the 1st place. You can see that its body has already showing signs of wasting away. You can also see that is showing HITH aswell in one pic. The store will euthanise it straight away and should offer you something else.

That is coarse, looks about 25ppi so should be fine.

Is this the only flow control on the grey dial knob. If so turn that down so that the flow is slower. If not then look at a DIY baffle videos on YouTube. Looks to be a very good filter for thr price. Have saved it to try in the future.

What a great choice in puffer, a very personable fish with great curiosity. Expensive, but worth it in the long run. And they ate not prone to following fish and taken perfect little circular nips out of their finage.

have been getting pearling from the Hydro Trip and the moss which is nice to see. Hair algae has started to appear which is not an issue, Will swipe it out with a pipe cleaner.

Looks lovely and maturely grown in. Like the massive frog

Welcome 🌿

Another vote for these, nice decent sized fish and very peaceful. Adult males look stunning once in breeding mode. And you have tiger lotus, which they would nest under.

Welcome

Shrimp have settled in well, hardly see them in ln all the planting in this. Badis down to one, others have disappeared into nothing ??

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Blue Bolts arrived a day late and we're fine. Badis are doing great and have been out and about

My Blue Bolts weren't delivered, Dad did not hear the doorbell. And the Postie refuses to leave them in the porch. Hopefully they are ok tomorrow.

Thanks, I have taken my time with the planting to get a good sense of scale while getting a grown in look. Far more plants to be added, want some red and purples to go in next with buces.

Yeah I have done a UGF using Fluval Stratum in the past. And it was ok, used crochet netting as a mesh barrier from hobbycraft/range

just that they are terrible sellers and their reputation last time I had any dealings was Mud. if they have improved over the years then good for them, but honestly i would steer clear of them. I would advise you to look on BAND, there are plenty of reputable breeders on there with Wild Bettas.

Made an Impulse Buy yesterday, I just couldn't walk out the store without them. They were just too cute and hardly see them anymore. I have a couple of Micro Preds - Scarelt Badis. So far they have ignored the shrimp, if they herd them like in the past it will be very fun to watch them acting...

needs a bit more time to settle in, but initial thoughts are Female looking at the dorsal and anal fins

I have replaced the Light with a cheap 9W Led Luminaire from Ebay for under £20. Looks good and there is a little overhang as is 30cm long, but dont mind that. Have ordered some more buce and started dosing x1 pump of premium tropica ferts per week.
