It inspired me to want to setup a nicely aquascaped marine tank with humbug damselfish and white coral sand.

Loving the photos guys, paradise. Great parrotfish shot!

Cheers chaps, it truly felt unreal. I feel very lucky to have gone. Awesome Ady, Its pretty cool to see that no matter where you go there you get a very similar experience. We were at Vihamanafushi (don't ask me how to pronounce that!) in the North Male Atoll which is about 20 minute boat...

Hey guys Just got back from honeymoon, thought I would show you guys a selection of my fish based photos I got whilst I was out there. It was incredible, the water was like a bath but with reef fish just sat waiting to be seen metres from the beach! Crazy. Excuse the quality, I just bought a...

Hey gang :wave: For my future wedding (hopefully this year) I was thinking of some kind of planted centre piece and have been given the green light by my better half. I was thinking some kind of wabi kusa, possibly in the style of Schruz although I think this may be a challenge creating...

That looks great, cheers George. I did remember that from a while back but cant find the PFK with it in, although I do have the issue with the pullout that shows the 30 litre microhabitat setup. Does this mean that in theory I could move my freshwater setup elsewhere but use the same hardware...

I'm tempted by the 30 but its a lot more money then £50 sadly. It seems superior in many ways including available space to scape with. I found a couple of companies so far 'Aquaroche' and 'Korallenwelt'. I'm leaning towards live rock as it seems so much better at filtration initially in the...

Thanks Hinch. I'm most likely getting the little TMC all-in-one 15 litre system so it will already have a built in powerhead. I will also use the different chemical pads you can get hold of to boost the filtration. Hopefully in addition to live rock and live sand this should be adequate. I know...

Some excellent info already, cheers both Iain and Tom. In a tank that small I was doubtful if any fish would be suitable, but those clown gobies look excellent - I really like the look of the 'green' type. Gobies are also my favourite species of fish. Any other miniature marines that would be...

The main thing I'm getting my head around is that corals are animals not plants, but still seem to have a lot of the same requirements and characteristics of plants. However I don't want to go murderously hacking up corals to propagate them like I would a plant so need to do further research on...

Just the man George, thanks indeed. :thumbup: Really interesting looking at a tank from a different perspective but with the same taste and level of planning I've gained from the planted tank world.

Hey Everyone :wave: I know this is a bit of a strange topic in a planted tank forum but I know you guys are a great mine of information and have been infinitely helpful in the past. Inspired from Tom's marine setup I am thinking of setting up a 15 litre nano in the kitchen in addition to my...

So nice, i would love a set up like that. The 'weirdness' of marines is what makes it appealing for me, you could spend hours just looking at everything nose to the glass.

This sounds very tempting indeed. So in theory the rock and sand is the filtration media and the powerhead is the pump. I didn't know that the rock had that much filtration capability by itself. Does that mean I could start off with an ADA cube, a Koralia, a heater and some LED lighting for...

Looks amazing. I would love to do something like this but wouldn't know where to start... What put me off marine tanks was the 'fruit stall' look, ugly equipment, and coralline algae encrusted glass but this clean look is excellent. :thumbup:

It doesn't seem as expensive as I first thought... This would make an awesome nano stand, although you'd have to get a good looking filter to match. Maybe cool for a Plant Glass.

I'm no spambot :( I just found some cool stuff that looks good with my fish tank :lol:

If anyones into the ADA minimalist aesthetic then check out Muji who are almost like a Japanese IKEA :thumbup: http://www.muji.eu/pages/online.asp?

Heads up for anyone that still has a first generation iPod Nano lurking in the back of a drawer, down the back of a sofa, in the dog somewhere. Even if it is dead. Apple are offering a free replacement due to an issue over the battery. All you need to do is put your serial number into...

I'll check out that About Me, cheers. I do have Sky TV although its not Sky plus You are a cruel cruel man :lol:

Good choice although sadly completed it on my girlfriends phone. Don't think I'll bother with angry birds rio haha

Hey hey, Got my hands on my first smart phone ever (having previously owned a rather old skool Nokia Classic) in the shape of an iPhone. Being new to this world of mobile technology I was wondering if you guys had any cool apps you'd recommend? So far I have; Tapatalk (of course) Facebook...

I like that its been judged before anyones even touched one yet. :?

As the topic title says, does anyone else use Tumblr or similar? Thought it looked like a good platform for a similar 'journal' type format that would be good for documenting your tanks. Pretty cool how you can 'follow' others too to see whatever their updates are and also 'reblog' their posts...

Just to confuse the issue more regarding 'gas guzzling' cars vs. the cyclist theres something inbetween; the motorcycle. My little Honda cost me £15 for a years road tax (!) It also cost me £15 for my last 2 weeks of fuel with fuel economy working out to be a bit better then 100mpg. Theres a...

haha perhaps a 'design' thread is needed so I could dump the contents of my bookmarks. I bet theres got to be a few of us lot who are into design considering the ADA admiration?

Cheers :) I do like the look of that zine, the type in it is really nice. As you may have guessed I'm also a big fan of white space and minimalism! That blog is run by these guys that were really high flyers on my uni course but a couple of years above me. They went on to go and work...

Thanks for such great feedback mate :) Heres a couple of good graphic design blogs I like that you may want to have a look at; http://www.aisleone.net/ (more Modernist) http://www.itsnicethat.com/ (more arty) and this site is incredibly inspirational/insightful just in general and covers so...

Cheers very much mate. Still some bits to tweak - need to create an image(s) that will show as a thumbnail to preview the site if you link it on Facebook or Twitter as currently nothing shows, and also add some more work!

Glad like it, thank you :) I had some positive feedback from Mr Evans too so it looks like it works! I thought I would see what people thought as I'm the only one thats seen it so far, and its also my first website.

Evening chaps :wave: Just finished my new portfolio website and wanted to show you guys my work; http://www.neilwoodwarddesign.co.uk Let me know what you think :thumbup: Cheers, Neil

Just the man! Some excellent advice there, I'll take a look at all those links. Thanks again! Neil

From what I'm told I think the guy has been developing it for years to get the right mix of species that will be OK, I think his dad started it originally. I've yet to see the product myself but his client list is pretty impressive so I'm guessing it must work. Seems an interesting project...

Hello everyone :wave: I thought you guys may be able to help me out with one of my latest plant based projects Our design company has been commissioned to create a time lapse video of grass growing. Not just any grass however, its actually this amazing product called Wildflower Turf that...

I think people into the planted tank thing are more likely of treating their livestock better as they need to understand the nature of a closed ecosystem to be successful and picking appropriate species is part of this. It seems that small tanks in the planted tank world have come from an...

Not that I can find George. Annoyingly I can't find an 'official' link to the original law, so as you say 'very small' is rather ambiguous... It may also be one of those things where its difficult to enforce but its interesting to see a government taking some steps for fish welfare.

Just stumbled across a law in Germany that prohibits fish tanks from being smaller then 24" x 12" x 12" (60 litres) which surprised me in comparison to our own fish keeping law (or lack of). source; http://www.peta.org/features/aqua-culture.aspx and Eheim on their nano instructions; source...

I like how he dives into his tank through the bay window and doesn't own a TV. What a legend.

Personally I think the original ITC Avant Garde and elegant vector is more timeless and classic then some typeface you'd find on the side of a space shuttle, American missile system or Thunderbirds rocket. Also seems odd for them to say its to prevent fakes instead just confidently rebranding...

Re: MAC and login to college website. Whale communication va Sorry Graeme I tried it on Safari on my Mac and it allowed me to get to the login page too. Took a while for it to think about it though and asked me to agree for it to access my computer twice.

Whilst christmas internet shopping I found this. Appealed to me as a design nerd and algae grower :lol: Sadly £105!

pah to you serious COD lot, I've just ordered Goldeneye for Wii :lol: I so hope its somewhere near as good as the original N64 release!

It was NA World 1 :thumbup:

This one was in english for £15 :thumbup:

I guessed as its the first one then it would be covering new ground so would be more indepth than the others in background info? Does it have many shots of his inspiration from nature too or would that be in another book?

Sweet, cheers Tom. I'm sure it'll be great, but if its not to my taste I'm sure it'll be easy to find a more appreciative owner on here.

Bit off topic but how do you rate the NA World book 1? Any good? I just bought it :lol:

Check out the Uni Posca white paint markers, theyre really solid colour and come in a range of tips (both chisel and bullet). :thumbup:

Part cat, part test kit :lol:

I bought one for a chuckle, I'll try and post some pics!

Bit of a blast from the past, a guy that I went to school with makes a living from free running. He's got the Guiness record for human scales :lol:. His names Scott young if you've heard of him? Can't be too many of you guys?

Nice one Steve :D

Could I be really jammy and cheekily ask you for one too please Steve? :P :D
