I have returned to the hobby after more years than I care to remember away and like yourself I remember MA when it was a singular shop in Maidenhead. Interestingly Maidenhead is just about the only place in the UK that dosen't have a MA outlet in it :) It worries me that the big chains ( MA, W...

Ok so the wife wanted to go into Oxford this afternoon and it would have been rude not to pop into the GB. First impression (and overall) 10/10, not a dead fish anywhere. Nothing annoys me more than dead fish on display and staff standing around doing nothing. Choice and condition of tropical...

Has anyone used the Goldfish Bowl of late? Not having a pop at them, just never been in there (not for over 20 years) and wondered what it like now. While on the subject of the GB, anyone know why they are never listed in PFK mag? Max Gibbs of the GB used supply most of PFK's photographs, not a...

Reading on a facebook aquarium plant forum Osmocote plus (in the pink packet) is the bee's knee's for home made root tabs. After spending quite a while trying to locate some in the uk it appears that it is USA/Canada only. Some people on that forum thought that normal Osmocote may be harmful (in...

Just think of the size of the neon shoal you could get in that :happy:

Has anyone used Osmocote in Gelatine capsules to make home made root tabs? I saw this on a Facebook forum and before I try it thought I would ask you good people on here who seem far more knowledgeable about these things. Be interested to hear of your findings if you have tried this.

Thank you all for the replies. The PH was being checked with the usual liquid type test kit. My wife has since borrowed a Mettler Toledo calibrated PH electrode from work and that reads 6.4 The tank is clean as it has only been running for 2 weeks and I am going to do a big water change...

As the Ammonia was reading 2.0 I added the gel filter started balls that came with the bio home and the PH has now dropped to 6.0.

I am cycling my tank at present and wondered if anyone could tell me why the PH has dropped from 7.6 to 6.4? Set up is: 100 gallon tank with sump filtration. Sump has a filter sock, foam, biohome then returned back to main tank. I am using both the filter sock and foam because if at a later date...

Greetings, I am returning to the hobby after a lay off of more years than I care to remember (about 30). The differences are quite shocking, some good some not so good. The advancement in methods and equipment available is excellent and I am looking forward to being able to hopefully grow some...
