Hello all, Is it me or are there only a tiny fraction of female hobbyists? I wonder why this is and if there's anything we can do to address this imbalance! I can't think of any female well-known aquascapers. Are there any? How many female Ukaps members do we have? Thanks, Laura (female) :)

That sounds fair enough. I'm sure you intentions are full of integrity, and thanks for the reply. :)

Hi Carl, Interesting channel. How does it work? Do suppliers send you freebies for you to review/publicise on YouTube? Sounds awesome! And now you are advertising your channel for free on here! ;)

It's impossible to breed Caradina multidentata (commonly known as Amano shrimp) in freshwater. What you likely have is not true C. multidentata, but very similar in appearance. So you've bred these shrimp, there's no denying it, but they're not the true species. There is a school of thought...

Great to see our very own George Farmer and Mark Evans on this list. Very well deserved! http://www.scapefu.com/2012/03/09/the-1 ... pers-list/

Says the man with an artificial ornament in his aquascape?! :lol: Sorry Wolfenrook (can I call you Ade?), I couldn't resist! :D This is a fascinating topic. For the record I much prefer the TMC units in terms of their looks. I'm guessing most people would. Plastic or not, the lines are...

Arcadia Eco-aqua LED 30w Looks like a black shower head to me. :lol:

Incredible. Not only can you aquascape, you can keep fish too! :lol:

Hi Luis Thanks for your reply to my post. I am pleased to see that you don't seem to feel so bad about spending a bit more cash than 'absolutely necessary'. I buy a lot of beauty products from Chanel. Kind of like the ADA equivalent for my line of work. I have been over to Paris to see...

This is an interesting topic for me and I'm still to buy my hardscape. :D The question of what people are willing to pay I think is down to the individual and their goals. I would personally prefer to spend twice as much on something, and guarantee that it will be exactly what I am after...

Wow! What an incredible journal already after only 3 weeks! :D It's really nice to see you doing a 'proper' journal again. The technical details and aquascaping tips are invaluable to newbies like me! :oops: I love this shot especially. Also amazing to see that you used only plants...

Hi Garuf Thanks for the full reply! It all makes sense. Why are you using very high lighting out of interest? Do you like a challenge?! :lol: Sorry to hear that you were homeless. That couldn't have been fun...

It's a shame there's less planted tank coverage than there used to be, but I still enjoy George's biotopes, the 'How to Grow' feature, and the 'Your Tanks' is usually a nice planted tank with a good interview. There's some newer planted tank coverage on the PFK site too, including Tony...

Incredible images. That's some gear you have, and more importantly, a good eye.

Are girls allowed too?! We're more dangerous than most regular weapons! :lol:

Hi Garuf I am in the process of creating a similar set up and am interested in your filter choices. Do you really need 2 filters? Won't the equipment 'crowd' a short tank with 2 filters - or are you using two sets of glassware? Excuse my lack of knowledge - I'm more a lurker on here. You...

What a beautiful little gem! I love it and the photos. :D

Re: 90x45x45 "LlÅ·n Peninsula" Wow! That's a sexy set up! :D Exactly what I'm after but with a Solar I!! :P :P The aquascape looks very nice too. It really suits the hardware - if that makes sense?

Oooo, how exciting! :) Another quality aquascaping outlet in the UK. Yay! Are the tools the same as the Aqua Essentials kits? The look pretty neat. Will you stock ADA? I hope so! I see you already have Seiryu Stone. :D

That looks awesome! :D I can't wait to see it in action! Will UKAPS members get a nice discount if you sell on your mosses?! ;)

Congrats, George! You're my hero!! :D

Best issue for ages! Nice to see a return to decent planted tank coverage... :D The 40,000 litre tank by Green Chapter is awesome. George's step-by-step Iwagumi is beautiful with a great double page spread for the full tank photo. The write-up describing Iwagumi is really interesting too...

This is a candid shot of me taken in a salon I was working in.

I found this quite insightful. I hope he doesn't mind me posting it on here... :oops: http://acuariorosa.wordpress.com/2009/1 ... ge-farmer/

Wow! That's an incredible amount of shrimp (or is it shrimps?!) Nice photography as well. The moss looks like the perfect home for them and I bet they are great at keeping it clean. I love it! :thumbup:

Re: Saintly's 120cm private scape That macro photography is the best (or at least the most magnified) I've ever seen! That's some lens. :clap: I really like the rock arrangement. I've just read through your other Iwagumi that you set up in the shop. It was featured in PFK too I think...

Re: Saintly's 120cm private scape Really?! I thought one was a budget female clothing retailer, the other a chocolate!! :lol:

Thanks guys! :D Hi saintly I have seen the Arcadia Mini Pendants and they look nice but they aren't as nice as the ADA IMVHO. The ADA units look slicker and have a unique retro-styling this really appeals to me. Plus I am a sucker for sexy packaging! I would rather pay extra and have no...

Thanks, Steve. Cant beleive I missed that thread! It's only just down the page! :lol: I still can't seem to see if it comes with a hanging kit though? Any ideas? :?

lol. Thanks Nick! I am a great believer in researching before parting with my hard earned money! I don't want to sound like a stalker, but Mr Farmer's advice is amongst the best I think. Even my Dad likes him. :shock: From what I have read, ADA is very expensive and you can get the...

Hi all, Please excuse my ignorance - new here! :lol: Does anyone on UKAPS have experience with the Solar I with the NA-Green lamp? I realise it's an expensive bit of kit, but love the look of it and have heard good reports. :thumbup: Stupid question, but does it come with a UK plug...

Hi everyone, My name is Laura, 22, and I've recently got into planted aquariums and aquascaping. :D I've been keeping fish for about 10 years. My Dad is a keen fishkeeper with his own fish house. He breeds softwater fish including discus and apistogramma. I'm a subscriber to PFK and am a...
