    Moving my 500L ratchet strapped tank from Jakarta to Saigon (video)

    Hi. I pop up here every few years. I'm currently living in Jakarta, but moving back to Vietnam. I have a really great tank and cabinet to take with me, so I thought I would document the move here. The sealant went on the tank a while ago, so I used a ratchet strap to hold the thing together...

    My Aquarium in an Earthquake (video)

    Hi Apologies for the terrible quality of the video, but thought you lot might be interested in this. We just had a big quake in Jakarta (6.4) and I live on the 41st floor, so it gets very swayey. The first thing I noticed was the water really sloshing about in my open topped aquarium. A lot...

    Using Untreated Teak Wood

    Hi Everyone. I'm back again after being away for a few years. Setting a tank up in Jakarta this time. I found this amazing teak wood in the Indonesian countryside. Pretty big, the large one is about 130cm wide. Only cost £20 for both so pretty chuffed on that. I was just wondering if anyone...

    Ants/Termites eating my wood.

    Sorry, this is a ridiculously specific problem: I have an outdoor aquarium on my balcony in Vietnam. I have a lot of wood protruding from the tank and a lot of plants etc on the wood. It attracts a lot of fauna, most of which I welcome. A few ants, or they may be termites, made it their home...

    Can you disassemble an aquarium?

    I have had an amazing braceless aquarium and cabinet made for me out here in Vietnam. I could never afford the same in the U.K. At some point I will be heading back to the U.K. The trouble is the tank takes at least 4 people to move it, but if i could simply take it back as the 5 sheets of...

    Do Geckos Really Eat Fish?

    I have an outdoor aquarium set up in Vietnam. It is all going really well, but I have quite a few fish going missing. I told someone at work and they said it is the geckos fishing for them, wiggling the end of their tail in the water to lure the fish. To be honest I dismissed it as rubbish...

    WOOD PORN. Depraved photos of contorted shapes. (Pic heavy)

    Having moved to Vietnam a few months ago, I am now setting up a planted tank. I thought I would share a few pics from the wood supplier out here. F.Y.I. The prices range from £6 for the smaller bits to £45 for the largest piece which is 2m in length (see first photo).

    Hi Everyone. I would really appreciate some input in to this little project. I have just moved out to Vietnam. I am setting up a planted tank at work and I have a brilliant spot for it on my balcony. I was just wondering what the consensus is on outdoor aquariums and their viability. I will...

    Are my tank dimensions safe? Opinions please.

    Hi Guys Have recently left the U.K. and moved to Vietnam (will stick with UKAPS rather than VAPS for now though). Shipped all my filters here (was interesting getting those through customs) and am now setting up a planted tank in Nam. I have just had a quote for my tank, but I wanted to have...

    Scuba Diving in a Fresh Water Lake.

    Hi Guys I am about to move to Vietnam! Between finishing here and starting there I have a few weeks away from the grindstone. I want to go on a dive trip and was wondering whether anyone here knew of any good fresh water dive sites. Someone suggested Lake Malawi. That looks amazing, but in...

    When Algae looks Good.

    This is my very low tech, sunlight only tank and, as is usual in summer, the algae really goes for it. I quite like it. I'm sure many will disagree and I welcome their comments. Anyone else got any pics or opinions of when algae looks good.

    A Few Hypothetical Questions.

    A few musings... What would happen if you dosed a low tech tank with high tech levels of CO2? What would happen if you didn't do any water changes on a High tech, EI tank? Why don't rivers have more algae, considering the high light levels, surface agitation and lack of CO2 injection? A...

    Cleaning Exterior Glass?

    Hi Having finally got my tank looking how I want it, I now notice how quickly the exterior glass gets dirty. So i was just wondering how everyone cleans theirs. I would imagine window cleaner and aquariums are best not mixed, but if you spray it on to a cloth and use it, is that safe. Thanks R

    Metal Pipework O.K?

    I want to up the filtering on my tank. At the moment the inlet and outlet are 16mm Eheim u-bends. I am finding it really difficult to find anything bigger than 16mm. No one seems to make dedicated aquarium u-bends above 16mm. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyway, unless someone can point me...
