This post completely caught me off guard, I was happily liking away before I realised the date of the OP 😂 Like others have said, liking old posts simply highlights there validity 😁

Hope you all had a great Christmas and best wishes for the new year. Ady.

We sadly lost our beautiful boy Bowser last october due to health issues just before his twelfth Birthday. It was crushing and has taken several months for myself in particular to level out the emotions into realising that the sadness you feel when losing a pet is because of the immense love...

Cool, I follow several of you already :D I have one, not specifically for plants but an aqua related one seperate to my personal one. Hopefully this link will work 😬 ady_myers_aqua cheerio,

I had to actually decorate before adding the Christmas decorations.....I love wallpapering :rolleyes:

Doesn’t work for me either :eek:

Anyone watch this last night? I found it a really good watch with some great underwater footage, the filtered clear spring was pretty special......although the planted part was very brief, the fish coverage was interesting.

Happy New Year.

Hi Dean, Personally I wouldn't add any ammonia, bacteria will find their way into your tank via your wood, substrate etc and you can add a small amount of fish food every couple of days during your run in period to help the cycle. I would run your tank without any livestock for a minimum of 2 -...

Tell him he needs to pee like a man and cock his leg not squat on the lawn! Hammer in some pee posts if there's nothing for him to cock against :-)

i think that is it, people choose phones to suit their needs, much like anything. There will be those who like things simple and those who need the latest techs. Apple have nailed the mass market, because it is easy to use i have 3 separate apple devices and love the continuity. As for the...

there will always be something better tomorrow....that is how it goes nowadays. i love my iPhone....maybe because i am a simpleton, but like Ian, i don't list ability to sustain throwing it against a wall or the floor as one of my must have features. I don't try to drop rocks on my fish tanks...

no co2 needed....no plants in there....you need to get that sorted :)

Congrats mate, very well deserved :thumbup:

me too mate, will be cool if you have pics too :thumbup:

:hilarious:

:cool: impressive pilot, especially in the beach hut and under the trees :eek: I wouldnt mind enjoying a bbq there :D Thanks for sharing :thumbup:

Hi, either pick the smaller ones or chop all of the leaves from the rhizome on the larger specimens, especially if they are emersed, it will then sprout new submerse growth. Im sure Mr. Amano uses just the rhizomes when creating scapes :thumbup: Give the riccia type plant a try, by nature riccia...

Hi Zanguli, sorry to hear of your aquascaping blues mate :( Its easy to become disheartened, especially when trying to do everything right. Im not sure about the test, but would always advocate a light/c02 and fert balance is the only way to a healthy high tech tank. Many people run high...

My wife cried! Very funny.

Happy new year all.

Merry Christmas everyone, and best wishes for 2014.

very generous of you, im surprised more members havnt put requests in..... NanoJames the ukaps Santa :D

Did he get back in the passenger side?

Lets be a little careful here and considerate. There are many less fortunate folks than ourselves, as there are those more fortunate. It can be frustrating being asked for cash on every street around town and on the tv, but they do this in the main part for good causes and they fear 'out of...

:cool:

even with those curves it still looks a bit wooden..... .....bum bum, im here all night!

Im a moderator on a forum....... oh and i repair cars in a family ran bodyshop in my spare time :D

i seem to remember i may have had to pay a one off fee for unlimited image hosting via tapatalk (wont have been a lot).....could be my imagination though! You can do it direct via the forum for though: How to! - Upload Images directly from forum | UK Aquatic Plant Society Cheerio, Ady.

i can upload images via ios device and tapatalk hosted. Think Andy D may have another issue if he can't. There is a UKAPS Responsive option on the forum also for mobile devices and tablets just incase anyone is not aware :thumbup: Information - Responsive Styles/Themes for Mobile Devices | UK...

Ah, Ian, are you sure she is helping and not disassembling the cabinet to throw it out of the house, maybe even weakening the structure so it fails on filling??? :shifty: :p

Looks like you put on a great party Mart :) Here's me and the better half last year, I end up with a similar facial expression every year as Halloween happens to be my birthday! Ooooooohhhh! :hungover: Have a good one! Cheerio, Ady.

do you mean this one?: Pets @ Home huge planted tank projects and event. | Page 7 | UK Aquatic Plant Society 2nd tank images begin at the very bottom of page 7.

The commitment some people have to look at a heather bush, I'd have just looked at the ones on the ground! :) lol The look its getting is on a par with the look Aron dip is giving that fish in the members photo album! Hope your up there doing it agin soon Troi.

Happy birthday George.

Great thread Zanguli :thumbup: I, like George, find it great to be around like minded people. None of my friends have an interest in the hobby, so being a member of a forum like this is great for sharing, learning and being inspired. There are many top world class aquascapers here willing to...

Stay well clear.....it stinks to me. My guess, old email being reused by unscrupulous scammers. Put yourself in her shoes, robbed in the Philippines, police, contact family, ask them for help.....or email relative strangers asking for money?

Wow, thanks for sharing the pictures Tom. The Sumida tanks don't look too shabby from the images, but nothing fools the eye in person ;) TBH the sheer scale of them impresses me, the thickness of the acrylic and all those lights!!! The Aquaforest tanks do look amazing, I'd love to visit more...

Have a good one.

:clap: Murray.

Hi Tom, just received this update via the newsletter.....looks like your out of luck. "The Nature Aquarium Gallery will reopen on August 4 (SUN), and we will resume accepting guests to come and see our aquarium layouts. If you are in the area near the beginning of August and want to check on...

Lol, was that a google search?

I got a headache from the pub last night! And some lovely chocolate to make me feel better :)

think i would have muddied the water if i saw one that big :nailbiting: yeah im not a strong swimmer, and hadnt done any snorkeling before but it was great because like you say it was so accessible and you could do it at your leisure. The triggerfish were massive if i remember right with...

Many congratulations Neil. We also went to the Maldives for our honeymoon, Kuredu island, was an amazing experience. Which island did you go to? Your photos are amazing, i particularly like the crab shot :thumbup: My underwater shots turned out pretty poor (disposable underwater camera/poor...

Looks like an expensive dog stick Paulo! :)

Thanks Mark, a lighting upgrade and skimmer would be definites for me on the aquanano....possibly even a sump system. Plenty to consider. Cheers.

Wow keyboard warrior, those are stunners. What lighting were you using and what tanks were they? I particularly like the clean glass and sand.....not a huge fan of the coralline algae everywhere, although I understand it has its benefits. Ill check out the nanoreef, think it may be one of the...

How to! - How do you post a picture | UK Aquatic Plant Society How to! - Upload Images directly from forum | UK Aquatic Plant Society

Sorry to hear you have to decommission the tank Kevin, looked very nice and also encouraging to hear it doesn't have to be a bank breaker!

Thanks Gary, I suppose my next step is to go to a few specialised shops and chat to those who know and see some of the equipment on offer.....although I must stress in no way will I want to go to the great lengths that many reefers go to, I'd like a relatively 'out of the box' system capable of...

No, only admin have can do a username change upon request. pm Paulo and he'll sort it out for you or I can ask him if you would like? Cheerio, Ady.

I was thinking bigger may be better for stability.....was wanting to use the 55l nano I have already, but this may only be good for a goby and some inverts. Thanks Iain, yeah I think I need to view a site with friendly and helpful members...not sure how you'd get to be one of the select members...

They are a nice trouser! Only joking about the stereotypical red sports car midlife crisis essential, and I'm too fat for hipster jeans! I can't afford a midlife crisis! Lol I'm looking forward to the time I can blame buying a nice car on a midlife crisis!.....although that will probably be...

Thanks guys, was hoping there might be a general consensus as to one in particular to make life easy :) ill have a look at them all and find one I like to browse. Ha, dont worry, im not getting rid of the planted tank mate, but do fancy a marine nano. Just need to assess manageability and the...

Cool. Ideal choice for a Mod! Ooof, I've got more;) It's a bit midlife crisisy though, I just bought a red sports car and am wearing hipster jeans! Lol Looks nice Ian, will be good to get out during the summer and free the mind.

Thanks guys, will have a look.

Hi all, I know there's a few marine tank keepers here, and would just like a pointer to a good marine forum please.....just for a look and some good reliable advice, I've got an itch that might need scratching ;) Thanks, Ady.

Hey Bandersnatch, wow, thanks for the insight, some great photos there with some amazing looking shops and some very appealing prices....all things relevant i reckon its still a lump cheaper than here :sick: sound great to me to! Wherever there is water its necessary to have a look :D...

Oh my long lost family heirloom signet ring went missing on a trip to portrush a few years back!! ;) Lol, looks like it could be a lucrative hobby!

Here's Bowser, our miniature Schnauzer. He's giving me those eyes as there's a little bit of naan bread left from the curry :) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

can i come and live with your parents too? :D :p

Got into these briefly....then found i had little time to use them :p...they could have been an awesome optiwhite!!!

Great thread Martin :thumbup: ive always kept fish since my early teens, always loved the look of lush planted tanks, but after a few 'fishkeeping' tanks, and to cut a slightly longer story short, ended up with a 6ft x 2ft x 2ft tank housing a single 22" black shark. Then met my now wife and...

Vettel may fall off in the rain ;) I'm watching now, but may end up recording to watch tonight.....kids don't like it too much :(

yeah, they look great and i enquired about them in store, an apple representative was there and i was chatting with him for a bit....he suggested waiting a few months to familiarise myself with the system first......not quite sure why, but itll save me £57 for now ;)

went for the iMac :happy:

Well.......i did it! :woot: I have to say im over the moon with my purchase, to me its already awesome and i have only set it up and used it for less than an hour. Everything is just so straight forward.....it does everything for you. Many thanks to everyone who has offered advice and...

Hi guys, again thanks for all the info, its much appreciated. I've just been back to the shop and think I'm gonna go for it :) Tony, your right, I'm not intending to be sending documents to a third party, and like you say it's a £13.99 app for pages, the chap in the shop was pretty helpful and...

Thanks for that info and the kind offer of tech help.....i may need it :eek: Yeah £100 is a lump of money, but maybe not so in the grander scale of things.....id prefer out the box new unless it was several hundreds cheaper. Cheers Stu :thumbup:

Hi Andrew, and thanks for the very informative reply :thumbup: Taking on board everything you have said, and others, i can see the benefit of a pc. It seems die hard computer lovers will thrive on making their own to suit and will be happy for it. Unfortunately im a dummy and plug and play...

I've had a mare this last week or so, started with co2 adjusting, onto co2 running out, onto regulator issues = big melt and unhappy plants.......:(.......I had the Seiryu out the bag last night, just playing on the floor......I put it back though, just need some new plants now :) ah well!

:lol: i will make myself like it! :p

...from Richard, the salesman of course :lol: well i dont use any of those things......i cant, my current system is sooo sloooow......and i have a Wii :D I might use word occasionally, do Macs have an equivalent? or can you add this in an app or purchase? i dont have really have a budget, just...

Oohhh......controversial.....ill await more info Bet you just don't want the cat there as he/she thinks iMacs are purrrfect!...i know :banghead:

What are OS and OSX?, I've heard of iOS....but still don't know what they are.....I need one of them 'for dummies' books!

Ah cool, most of what you just said went over my head, but I'm guessing your more than just a photo uploading or downloading (whichever it is) and browsing kind of guy!.....maybe like running this site for example ;) I think I'm gonna get a mac.....then cry for a year about trying to afford it! Lol

Why wouldn't you trade your current desktop for a mac? Just curious if there's a particular reason, or if there other comparable alternatives....

Lol, had to google search it though.....it may still be better than my current computer ;)

Hi Tony, thanks for the info. If I go for the iMac it'll be situated away from any direct sunlight so don't think that the reflection will be an issue. Do the apple store sell refurbed iMacs too as this would be an even cheaper alternative I imagine.....although the pcworld 12 months interest...

mmm....no negative feedback yet :).....its looking good. Seems the only decision will be iMac or Mac mini....

hi Iain, id only be looking at the 21.5" screen, theres no way i could stretch to the 27" one :wideyed: Even so it would be a huge improvement on what i have.....ill just sit closer :watching: yeah, i really like the sound of the macs. These mac mini's are a new way of looking at computing for...

Indeed ;)

Ah well, cheers Nath, I should have said I'd really prefer a desktop, I'm not a laptop fan....although I have also considered the mac mini too as a cheaper alternative to the mac :/ I like the idea of a lot of memory too for photos etc :) Im all but decided but being as its such a large expense...

Hello all, I'm in desperate need if an updated computer system. With the apple products becoming dominant in my lifestyle....kids iPads, our iPhones ....I'm considering an iMac. They look great and although seem an expensive outlay, they have a longer estimated lifespan and are regularly updated...

I'm no 'Lady', it takes Man skills to get a rustic, natural, irregular edged pancake like that....those round ones are just too perfect and regimented for me. What your seeing there is the NA of cookery! Lol

#epic fail

Nice one Iain. Have a great holiday!

Hello again Frank, I didn't notice before, but what beautiful green eyes you have also!

No problem phathead ;).....but Paulo is really the man to thank, he's the techie who installs all the addons! :)

Hi, just to let you know the members map has now been reinstated so over the coming months as members add themselves you'll be able to easily find those around you :) http://www.ukaps.org/forum/memberMap/ Cheerio, Ady.

Hi, yeah this feature got a little messed up and is no longer available. If you click on a members location it diverts you to a map. Obviously this doesn't help search for members near to you as you would have to go through everyone, and not everyone has their location marked. Sorry. Ady.

Hi Nath, it takes a big man to retract comments and publically apologise..... kudos! Your initial comments on the other deleted thread were directed at trying to rehome the fish and not starting a witch hunt, so the intention was always good. The listing in question was misleading to potential...

Hi, If you havnt logged on since the upgrade it will take about an hour to place you in the right user group. You should then be able to see the for sale section. Cheerio, Ady

Hello Frank :) What beautiful legs you have!

Very honest...a great post!

....on your bicicle! .....i know, my bad!

The uk aquatic plant Farmer is back! Welcome home George. Big up you and all the forces!

:lol: yeah fancying resurrecting one of my fluval specs from the garage, and basing a shrimp only scape around the sign.....scratching off the 'g' from the end of 'no fishing' as irony!
