As long as there no chance of plaster dust getting into the tank then theres really no need to move it Cover it with plastic sheeting- also protect the glass and cabinet from being scratched or covered in dust If you will be living in the house during the work the electrician will need to...

Hi people Social media is very frustrating most of the time for aquatic matters Theres so much conflicting advise Heres a guy who runs a fb group that has over 80,000 members Watch this video and let me know what reactions you had to it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe covid was made for Genetic warfare ? I mean China seems to want to control all of Asia if it could so having a genetic weapon to weaken a particular race in a country would make it easier The fact that it escaped before the antidote was made (if theres even one in existence) caused the...

Hi all As most of us in uk are looking to try to save money where we can at the moment I’ve been told to ditch sky and get a firestick and pay the annual fee to use IDTV saving over £1000 per year [emoji3] Does anyone currently use IDTV and is it a good swap for sky ? Sent from my iPad using...

Never buy this any more it’s just like all the rest of the hobby magazines full of adverts and hardly any information of any use It’s certainly not worth the cover price Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I’ve decided that there’s a 3rd category [emoji106] The Purest These are the people who create biotopes where fish, plants and hard scape replicate one specific habit

As you express envy of the plants you definitely fall into the Aquascaper category [emoji23] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Then you are an aquascaper first and an aquarist 2nd Because it’s the look of the tank that’s most important to ie the colours of the males An aquarist would never buy just males [emoji23] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Perhaps this will help you decide [emoji6] When you choose a shop to visit is it Aquascapers shop known for its plants and hard scape and aquascapes on display Fish shop 100s of aquariums full of 1000s of different species of fish it will probably have one small cascade tank for plants and...

Who has plants that have not reproduced Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

In my opinion there’s a huge difference between being an aquarist and an aquascaper Aquarists keep and breed fish, plants are just an accessory or a medium for egg laying or fry protection, the plants have to survive in the water conditions that suit the fish, they are happiest when their fish...

Neither side has officially declared war Even if a stray missile missed Ukraine and went into Poland that wouldn’t be classed as declaring war by the Russians, it be condemned by NATO etc and classed as something like an infringement or an international incident Let’s get this straight no one...

I don’t think it will get to that stage We may be outraged by what’s happening but to commit our sons to die for it is another thing If it went to all out war then there wouldn’t be enough time to get a single soldier there before we become just shadows on the floor Sent from my iPad using...

Today I met up with another user and we chatted about plants amongst other things [emoji23] It came up that some Cryptocorynes have not produced any new plantlets they just stay a certain size and just replace existing leaves so never increase in mass Have the producers found a way to stop...

I can’t even imagine what a 20 + mile long snake of tanks etc would look like But I know for sure it wouldn’t be a good feeling Let’s hope that anyone who attacks civilians does actually end up in The Hague Is there a death penalty for such crimes ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gorilla street ware fare is proven good for the Ukrainian forces, but how long before Russia targets them with fighter plans or rockets which will kill the civilians on mass Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If I was China I would stay out of it publicly but offer Russia a line of credit which they will need as there currency will be worthless to trade with, this would put Russia in debt to China thus giving them lots of leverage or at least a very nice profit Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It’s just like fashion, things change a bit slower than clothing but there are definite trends, but a trend lasts just as long as the shop owners / managers deem it to be profitable The problem is limited tank space so they need each tank to be as profitable as possible Even if there was a...
