Has anyone seen any of these available anywhere in the UK recently? I had a couple about 10 years ago, but haven't seen them available anywhere pretty much since then. Great looking community fish and I'd really like to keep them again if only I could find them!

Hello all, Just returned from a work trip to Bergen, Norway and whilst plodding round one afternoon came accross a display tank outside a local pet store (which was closed at the time!). Amogst all the usual stuff I managed to identify was a species I had never seen before. And no I'm affraid I...

Now, I know a lot of folk on here are really into their music. I'm guilty of that as well and have a quality system at home. However I work offshore and one of the things I miss most when I'm away is a decent sound system! Portable MP3 players are all well and good but they can rarely power a...

Just did some maintenance on one of my Fluval 305 canister filters. I needed to change some of the foam pads as they where particularly old and clogged. Now Fluval 205 / 305 foam comes as a twin pack and is about £8 at my local stores. However I noticed that these same shops sell Fluval 4 plus...

Hi all, I know we have an area by area list but after my experience with an online retailer recently and after consulting with the great Mr. Farmer I thought I'd start a thread just for online retailers. Hopefully others can recommend their experiences with online shopping. I'll start it off...

Anyone know of a good source of cheap but worthwhile root tabs? I'm even up for a diy route if anyone knows of any good recipes. I have seen the one where you mix it with clay but am not keen on adding clay to my tank. I did see these on e-bay...

Greetings folks, I could do with a little help. I currently use EasyLife Pro-Fito as my main fertilizer. (Mainly because I managed to lay my hands on a couple of liters of it few a very cheap price.) Due to my work and just for shear convenience this is dosed automatically at 6ml per day (see...

Now, I don't wish to start a heated thread but have been doing some reading on our old friend Glutaraldehyde (main ingredient used in liquid carbon sources). It seems to lurk in a variety of names, including the following: glutaraldehyde glutardialdehyde 1,3-diformylpropane glutaral...

I Celebrated a birthday recently. My Mum's a dab hand in the baking department and my Dad's got quite an artistic flair, this was the result. Thought I'd share their efforts with a few fishy (& plant!) fanatics.Tastes pretty damn good too! I particularly liked the "sand" substrate! :D Tesco

Thought I'd share what the marine world can be like for us offshore workers (I work on seismic survey vessels). Just managed to capture this biggun that we ploughed through when I was working on the Vigilant off Norway a few months back. It was blowing a force 9 - 10 at the time. A few hours...

Doing some general reading on the web, as you do. Stumbled accross this in another forum. Check out the 7th post. Is he just nuts or actually on to something?! :jawdrop http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/equipment/47553-pmfed-poor-mans-flourish-excel-drops.html Tesco

On my Osaka tank (see journal entry http://ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=10198) I currently dose 10ml of AE Aqua carbon and 4ml of EasyLife Profito daily. I have been reading up on the whole DIY dry ferts thing and think that may be the way to go in the future (specifically James C's DIY...

Ok, here goes! Quick note to George Farmer before I begin. Hi dude Tesco here, how’s things? This is all your fault and I hold you responsible for all this expense! Well after spending a few weeks with the infamous Mr Farmer out in Afghanistan (I used to be in the RAF myself until a few...

Right, first post so here we go (note to George Farmer, yep its me mate, yer old pal Tesco). I would like to automate fert dosing to my 260l tank and was looking at the various peristaltic pumps available (on e-bay etc) when I came across Williamson Pumps Ltd. They make a range of these but...
