Just photograph it and save it for next year! Theres one UK entry all ready :D
I noticed the biotope section was a little lack lustre too .... but I was keeping that one to myself :lol: perhaps an Oppurtunity for a UK winner ??
I was a bit surprised there werent more UK entries to be honest, There have been some great scapes posted on this forum that were worthy of an entry. I guess its a bit daunting going public like that and perhaps there is a temptation to wait as 'My next scape will be better' or 'this scape is...
Just picked up a copy of 'The 101 best Aquarium plants' by Mary E. Sweeney. Its a brand new Microcosm/TFH publication and it would Appear G.F has had some input ... Well done matey! :D
Nice little book, Worth a read !
I was too until I noticed the size of it ..... 300 x 66 x 84 (cm) :o
I like rank 0011. Also Cliff Hui rank 004 but ive always admired his scapes.
Big Congratulations to Peter Kirwan rank 0015.
Thanks for your explanation Clive
I must be the only thicko on the forum who has had this much trouble getting his head round this :oops:
You will forgive me but I never did do chemistry.
You mean to tell me that ive been lugging around bloody great barrels of RO water for nothing?? lol

Am i Missing something?
Im not trying to adjust KH with Co2
The KH is the buffer capacity of the water right?
The waters ability to hold or stabilse Ph right?
Therefore A high Kh = a high buffer capacity that will require increased amounts of Co2 required to lower PH right?
At low KH levels...
I use alot of RO water, have done from the start. I live in a hard water area and find the Ro reduces the KH If I dont reduce KH I have to use Co2 at a silly rate to get drop checkers into the green.
Syphon off 50% into bucket/container and water conatiner plants in garden!
I fill 25 litre...
Well done all !!!
How cool is that to see the Uk represented so well.
Have to say a special congrats to peter Kirwan fantastic achievement, Look forward to seeing the scapes.
Re: lfs dont know jack!!!!
Thing is you probobly made a similar face when you was first told about adding N&P :) .
The LFS's have concentrated forever on selling 'FISH' and in a fish only aquarium N&P will cause algae. Therefore the best defense was always phosphate and nitrate removers. You...
Re: lfs dont know jack!!!!
Like I said I understand your frustration ... It certainly wouldnt have been difficult for the sales assistant to read through the instructions on a bag of eco complete with you and learn something whilst trying to be helpful.
It was quite a breakthrough to find a...
Re: lfs dont know jack!!!!
I understand why you should find this frustrating but I cant help feeling you may have been a little bit hard on your LFS.

This all sounds very familiar!

I still have the vase and might be tempted to try this again. Be ready to change the water frequently :D
I Would put a new gas cylinder on to be sure it dosent run out whilst your away. Pressuming your using a solenoid and timers on the lights and you can get someone to dose you should be fine. Be prepared to find a jungle when you get back :D
