I think were all still too nackered!

I can't begin to describe the pain...! :lol: Anyway, it's back in one piece!

It happened at 11.30 today ;)

Left home at 5, just stopped for a maccers in colchester. Aiming to be at olympia by 10.....

I'm gonna leave my entry for a bit, to see what happens with this current scape. If it's not ready, I'll enter an old one.

Re: Would you fancy a evening at ADC in London? Those Eheim Nanos look nice. I was going through the trade catalogue a couple of months ago and saw them :)

Re: Fish Shop Tour TGM - Saturday 28th May If we leave at 7.30am, with good traffic we can make it for 1pm to grab some coffee - then trundle over to the caravan at Porthmadog and die for the evening and watch the Champions League final (It is on the 28th isn't it?). I'm still a maybe, although...

Re: Fish Shop Tour TGM How long will you all be staying for? I think I read a start time of 11, but I may be passing through at 1 ish, maybe 2 on the 28th. Depends if I feel like dragging the GF round on the way to our Snowdonia holiday!!

Re: Fish Shop Tour TGM We're actually going to North Wales on holiday on the 28th and will be going past TGM! Might be later on in the day though, but I do hope to pop in as we go through :)

I'm on there

Graeme? LOL just volunteer him as host :P

Mark your Iwagumi had better be higher than 700!!

I might set the Do!aqua cube up with sand and call it Tatooine.....

:eh: :roll: sorry :lol:

I'm assuming it's in-house at plantedtanks?

:jawdrop because we need more insentive Tony :P :lol:

Possibly :p Theme is announced on the 5th, and entries need to be in by April.

Have you signed up? It takes me straight to the comp details, but I'm logged in.

All the details are here: http://www.talkaquatics.com/index.php?board=39.0 I think you will need to sign up to the forum though. Prizes look good, although I haven't read through all of the info yet.

Just noticed on the Planted Tanks newsletter that they are going to be starting a competition, if anyone is interested in a "UK contest". You have to enter through talkaquatics.com, and it starts on the 5th Feb. Sounds like they give the theme at the beginning, and you set up the tank on your...

May 31, looks like I might be in :)

When's the deadline Mark? If there's still 3 months or so I'll hopefully be able to enter the Mini M if all goes well.

Me and Chloe managed to get one but we couldn't find the other, when we drained all the water out he appeared so Dan has it in Little Mountain I think ;)

Haha nice one Mr Superman :roll:

Yeah I got home at midnight last night, did some re-scaping on my tank then hit the pillow! :roll:

Good call :) Some more: The stand John Starkey posing! The nanos The big tank and some fish Tom

Some of Graeme's tank:

Post all your pictures of the festival here! :D (Please try to limit it to photos only and a small comment for each, rather than clogging up the thread :wink: )

The one Graeme looked to be eyeing up :lol: :P Do it do it do it!!! :lol: Yeah, thanks for a great weekend guys! Totally nackered, and have a sore throat now from singing Queen full blast all the way down the A14!! :roll: Looaaaaads of photos tomorrow!! Tom

I've just packed :D I think I'll have to get some nibbly bits for the weekend if I can. Had some nice mini danish pastries from Morrisons a couple weeks ago :roll: I think this will actually be my first true UKAPS meet, seeing as how I've managed to miss a couple already (I blame the...

I'm leaving at 7 too. Will probably hit cambridge at rush hour :evil:

I know I'll have Tropica root tabs for sale :wink:

So what time shall I get to yours by? mid day-ish wasn't it? Got an address? I'll look you up on the ol' multimap :wink:

So what's the plan for Friday?? There was a reason I was going to ask you when we were going to be finished, but I can't remember why now so its obviously not that important! Tom

It did look impressive. And I had my eye on that large rock on the tank stand :wink:

Haha I hadn't read that bit :lol: They gave me a book and told me to read it as it tells me the plant's names and how they grow :roll: He nearly got me started on heater cables too. Tom

There was a sign on top of the tank, saying it had been set up by Dan and Graeme :wink:

No problems with JBL, it was Dennerle :roll: :P I'd love to if I hadn't used all me money gettin to brum!! Tom

Oh Lottie from Tropica seemed really nice. Had a chat about the plants etc etc Tom

I wanted them as a supplier for my business so went to have a chat with them. They refused me business on the grounds that there are loads of idiots like me trying to set up an aquarium design business, and that they would have to put me through their course to "teach me how to grow nice...

Saw this yesterday when I was up at GLEE. Looked very good even with the lines of different substrates and rocks! Liked the nice piece of petrified wood on the stand too. I didn't see any exciting new plant products, but I may just have missed them. Managed to fall out with Dennerle though...

I'd like to come, but I don't know if I can afford the petrol to be honest. My new business has taken up pretty much the whole lot. And theres the ADA jobby up at TGM to think of...

That sounds brilliant :D Me and my minimum wage are going to start saving now :lol: I'd like to do a tour of the country at some point: Tokyo, Niigata, and the more remote areas as well. Photography heaven :wink: Would like to see how the Japanese do fish shops too (live, not sushi!)...

We went from Winchester last year. Its not too far, think it was an hour tops. Bit further from Winborne I think. I should be available then if you need any more help. Will check with work tomorrow Tom

I should be driving in a month so there's no excuses for me this time. The last two visits I had to duck out of because of trains, but this time... :twisted: as long as it's not too far ;) Tom

I was thinking about doing a gap year over there just to get to the gallery, so count me in if I can afford it at the time. :D Although... I haven't even managed a UK visit yet :? Just make sure Mr. Amano is expecting us yeah? :lol: Maybe we can show him how to set a UKAPS tank up :roll...

The link and video didn't work for me :( EDIT - got it now, looks impressive :D

Sorry I couldn't get there everyone, I spoke to Garuf ( I think :lol: ) but there were some sort of engineering works that meant I wouldn't be able to get there til too late really and I thought everyone would have gone! I hate public transport! :evil: Tom

There is one in the Wyvale just up Crewes Hill, before you get to the bridge at the top - if that makes sense :roll: Tom

Are we going to MA near Wildwoods too?

Well by the sound of it I'm meeting Arana at 9.50 at Rainham, or I can wait around a while. Then we're all meeting at MA St Albans at 11? Then on to Arana's LFS was it? then.....? :lol:

Is Dagenham Dock near you? I can't find Dagenham East on the route planner :roll: If I came on the train I'd need a return ticket so that would rule out St Albans station for me. Alternatively I can get to Rainham for 9:50 Tom

I did :D unless anyone else can use it/some? I can't use it for a couple of months but I'm sure I can grow it on for when I need it. Tom

I am!!

I can bring my 350d if you like :D

Thats what I heared, I hope WOW don't change it too much :roll:

Suits me fine :) I wasn't going to stay. I can either go to friends in South Wales or cousins in Brum and go home next day :wink:

Sounds good :D

I could get to St Albans train station by 10.53. How far is it to MA? Any chance of a lift from the station? :roll: Tom

If I stay at the relatives around Brum area I can get to wherever, whenever I suppose, or I can meet Garuf at New Street

Chrisi do you know what time we would meet in Brum? I can get to the station by 12 midday if I come on the train that morning, or I could get there a lot earlier if stay at a relatives Tom

:shock:

Same here!!

I'm up for going. Will be fun getting there but it sounds worth it :D

I would vote yes, but who cares!! It's fun! :D [/code]

They don't have to be full fryups, just bacon sandwiches would be nice :lol:

Are you easy to get to by train?? I can get to any london station really I suppose

might not be anything left of Wildwoods by the time we organise something. I think Alton Towers is a great idea

Enfield is good, yep, I'd be up for that. I used to live in town, and so Wildwoods was my local. I did my college work experience there too this year. Tom

Well done on the tank, it looked great even through the fog! Wish I could have seen it clearer. Good setup demo too. Stand looked very impressive and a credit to UKAPS! :D The furnished aquarium was the best by far too! :wink: Tom

Well there's definitely 4 of us from Sparsholt coming down, so hope to see you there! :D

I think there's a few of us from Sparsholt going this year. We're still trying to organise it but we should be there Tom
