    Any good Fish shops in Pembrokeshire

    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...

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...

Personally this is one of my favourite features as it allows the viewer...

    Latching pneumatic switch - is there such a thing?

    Hello All, I'm still getting to grips with some hardware to start off pressurised co2 dosing (!) of a tank. I have been playing with a 24VDC solenoid which works fine but gets chuffing hot! It also consumes more current than I think is reasonable (I am both short in stature and mean beyond...
