If anyone is in the East London or Essex area wants to go but needs a lift, give me a shout :thumbup:

Hey Paulo, it's good to be back! i have made a return with a new scape in progress and a new Journal, always value your opinion if you get a moment to check it out :thumbup:

I am all booked in :-) Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I will be at AG for that! :-) Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

For me this should have been in the top 10:thumbup:

There is some real stunners in there, well done to all the UKAPS entrants great work guys:clap:

Thanks for sharing, great job :clap:

Well done guys, there is some great scapes there :clap:

Sorry guys i am going to have to let you down, 3 months out of work now! 52 job applications made and not a single reply!! there is no way i can justify a trip to holland to the wife when i can't pay the mortgage :thumbdown: I am going to have to sell the 60cm i have set up to take as well...

i was gutted i couldn't make it Ricky, the scape looks great and so does the food :thumbup:

Good Luck Luis :thumbup: can you go out exploring on the Thursday night with a view to handing us a short list of all the best Bars/Clubs in the area when we get there :lol:

My house in Rainham mate, Just 10mins from the Dartford Bridge. There are a few peeps staying over the night before and you are more than welcome :thumbup:

So thats 7:05am Thurrock and bacon sandwiches :thumbup:

Yes Sam i am staying at the venue, I'll bring the poker set :thumbup:

i'm out of work at the moment so i will be sleeping on the floor but thats ok as i have slept in much worse places :lol:

I thought you was on the list mate :shock:

everyone is meeting here so just around the corner for you :thumbup:

Glad you can make it mate, first one here gets the sofa :D

gonna start my scape soon too, i have everything i need except the tank :( i am doing a 60cm and was just wondering what everyone else was taking so i have added it to the list, if every one does the same it might help in the planning :thumbup: Dan SteveUK Mark Evans Sam Mark (Arana) - 60cm...

No worries matt, plenty of parking/floorspace for everyone :thumbup:

Good point mate, would be nice to see some fish in there tho' maybe we could find a Dutch LFS to loan us a few for the duration :)

I am only 10 mins from the Thurrock Services/Dartford bridge so we could meet here if you like, the London contingent would be welcome to stay overnight if it requires an early start and i have plenty of free parking so you could leave your cars here. What about the livestock Dan, can we take...

Just a few questions... Who on the current list is going to be taking a scape? Would it be worth organising a second form of transport from London/South? it would be a long drive from up north to pick everyone up in one van! Are there any restrictions on taking livestock? or are we doing plant...

I seem to have dropped off Lisa's list :( stuck myself back on again :thumbup:

Cheers Sam

dates are all booked so count me in too guys :thumbup:

i hear it's less than an hour from Amsterdam :thumbup: i know where i will be staying :lol:

Sounds great count me in :thumbup:

Sounds very cool, always wanted to try a Wabi, will you be collecting any soil/mud from the wild?

Gutted i missed this Sam, coz you still owe me a Poker rematch :D

I always thought UKAPS should have ther own stand at Chelsea...would be Awsome :thumbup:

no prob Ed, will look forward to meeting you in the Summer instead :)

Me too :D

Cool... Thanks Ed BTW is there any decent LFS worth a visit near you :D

Nce one! i was working in Ipswich earlier in the year and it would take me about an hour from home. :)

We coud also fit in a visit to Wetpets, small but well worth a look and not far from me :D

Maybe you Steve and Garuf could drive down together and split the cost :)

I'd drive up for that ED :D i hear it's lovely up there and i've never been that way before :D

You could always jump on the back of Garufs skateboard :D I might have to challenge you for that crown tho' :lol: or you could be head chef while the rest of us plant up my new pond :D if i can get it dug and lined in time :)

It's about time we organised the next get together! the weather is warming up and the BBQ's are getting a dust off :D So what's next... i'm happy to do a BBQ party here if nobody has any better ideas :D

Nice work George, excellent shots :D

Count me in, wouldn't miss it for the world :D

Wow what a day, fantastic place, stunning plants, stunning tanks, run by lovely passionate people :D it was a 4hour drive each way for me and worth every mile (althugh i just made it back to london before the snow :shock: ) If you ever get the chance to go, TAKE IT! It was a good turnout from...

Thanks TGM, i for one am really looking forward to it :D my shopping list is getting bigger all the time :D

I'll be there :D :D

Yes, Garuf is the monorail driver at AT :D and i'm in the front first :lol:

Don't tell them or they will all want to ride in the front :lol:

:lol: or should i shout "SHOTGUN" :lol:

:D Can I sit in the front then? :lol:

:D Wahoo! :D Do we get a free ride on your train? :D

Fingers Crossed Sam :D

It's £60 if you pay now or £120 if you leave it for 14 days, done by one of those little camera cars that drive around London. :roll: Single yellow on a Sunday!!!! but we did have 2 wheels on the curb to avoid causing an obstruction and that is what the fine is for , next time i'll leave it...

if you don't pay it in 14 days it's £120 :shock: :(

Just got a £60 parking ticket through the post for parking on the kerb outside Wetpets on that Sunday, iv'e got a feeling Sam will get one too today, sorry Sam :(

we were all sorry you couldn't make it Lisa :(

they woud look cool in your nano mate :D i can feel a nano coming on myself once the house has been repaired :)

OK OK I Will :lol: Did your shrimp make it home OK?

Thanks mate (BLUSH) it just never feels finished to me but i guess thats the point of a journal, to watch it evolve over time :oops:

Garuf... Glad you made it home safe in the end mate :) any more Pics? SKS... Libel Action! Oh well you know what they say, "there's no such thing as bad press" :lol:

MA St Albans Fish Displays :D

Here's another, the so called "The Ultimate Plant Tank" At Wildwoods :shock:

Sorry, Fixed it try again :D

Here's the first of the Videos, The plant display at MA St Albans :)

Can't wait to see the results tomorrow mate :D I'm glad we went there now, i'l be back thats for sure :)

Yes mate i have already had the boiler company around to asses the damage and they will be paying for the repairs :x

Can't wait to see what Sam and Garuf do with the lovely wood they got today :D BTW all still photos were taken by Garuf :D i will upload some video soon I havn't heard from Garuf so i hope he and his shrimp got home safely

Just as i was relaxing after everyone left the electric all blew in the house followed by the sound of gushing water, i ran upstairs to find water pouring through the ceiling :shock: a pipe had blown its fitting in the loft and dumped the contents of the header tank thought the ceiling onto the...

i am going to try and make it :D it's just a matter of working out how t'm going to get there :?

After breakfast Garuf, Sam and I decided we could fit just one more LFS into the tour and set off to Wet Pets in Romford, a shop i havn't been in for years and very good it was too, Sam and Garuf both found some lovely wood and i bought some more Nerites and a few plants. out of all the shops we...

Big Altums, small tank. I won't lie, the electric eels made me nervous. I'm not one for marines but I really liked the seahorses. One of Marks Amano decided it was going to pose in "in feilds of verdant green, an aquatic mirror of the world above". <--- anyone can do ADA poems. ;)

Arowana's trying to decide if your as stupid as you look. Wildwoods have the best advice regarding sharks. Marks "big" tank, its grand unveiling.

When Garuf finishes playing Transformers with my 8 Yr old i'll get him to upload his photos, I shot some video but i need to upload it to Utube or simular first :D

We haven't quite finished yet but i just wanted to say i have had a really good time meeting everyone, Garuf and Sam are still here waiting for their bacon sarnies, :) SKS left on the last train last night and TDI rushed off after Wildwoods as he'd purchased a stunning Beta and a bag of plants...

8:27am and still going :D no not really but we was up untill about 2:30 holding the UKAPS Poker Tournament, Sam is now the official champion :x

So after collecting sks and the non present Tom we headed out to mainden head, a journey that was longer than it should have been, you guessed it. we got lost! After a call to Dan and Sam who came out to find us we found our way to St Albans Maidenhead Aquatics, the fish selection was good...

OK Garuf is arriving tonight, Tom and SKS are arriving at Rainham Station in the morning and everyone else is meeting at MA, is the correct? :D

I'm not far from Dartford Tunnel won't you be going back that way to Portsmouth? There will be nibbles and munch when we get back here and i will be sending out for food for all those that stay on for a social :D

I think i have PM my mobile to everyone now, if you are coming and havn't received it, let me know and i'll send it over. 24hrs to go :D

PM sent :D

it arrived today... maybe we can fnd something else to do then :D I'l PM my mobile to you all tomorrow. can't wait now :D

Just had some new CO2 kit dispatched from AE, if it gets here for Saturday we could set it up when we get back from the tour :D but if it comes on Friday i may not be able to wait :lol:

i'll drive and you can direct me :D So many shops, so little time :D

I thought that was the closest one to Wildwoods, is there another? 8)

It's MA St Albans :)
