Got to be wigglers, but then vanished.
Had a couple of pairs lay eggs since but nothing survives.
Meanwhile, the guppies are multiplying happily!

Merry xmas you lovely people.
It might be just a hobby for you, but dont forget youre making a home for numerous little critters!!!

Stocked up on fertiliser over christmas.
I get most macros from INOXIA, and got a call from them asking such questions as "umm what you need this for?" and "bit excessive for a fish tank?!".
After my explaiantions around tank size and EI dosing, they agreed to release the order, but Im convinced Im now on a register somewhere... 🤣😂

When your MgSO4 (Epsom salts) runs out it may be worth getting for ebay as you can get 10Kg for peanuts

You know I saw those, marketed for your bath and thought that could be coarse table salt! Just didnt trust it.
You reckon worth a punt?

Epsom salt 10Kg for £13 in plastic tub - salts are salts
APFUK is £4.50 for 0.5Kg

best not to search out just what other nefarious uses you can cook up with that and other stuff you will have lying around the house, unless your not keen on your front door and don’t mind it being booted in
think its fairly small quantities of key items that now need flagging by vendors as they have been used in the past for reasons they were not sold.

That’s amazing - just found you in ebay and Instagram (via shrimplyjones) If I ever buy this bigger tank I’m searching for, there is every chance we will meet as I look to stock it with bits, like the moss you currently have
That build is just nuts!!!

I have just seen this thread, I've not really been around for a couple of years, but... Wow! 😮
Is it fixed though? That kind of freaks me out. I have two acrylic tanks one running since May 2010 and the other sometime in 2012. I got them made though. I wouldn't trust myself making one that large. 😁

Thanks Sanj,
It's fixed temporarily with a ratchet strap that goes around the whole thing.
Unsightly, but less risky, quicker and cheaper than trying other things. No idea what I will do long term, maybe convert to paludarium!
Even with these issues, I have absolutely no regrets.

@dean have a look at this post back on page 36
Cannot blame you for missing it! The journal is now a proper challenge to get through ha!

Filip, do you not have any issue with condensation in your house? That is also of open water. I had to get acrylic covers made for big tank in the living room, although the smaller 700l in my hallway doesn't have any.

Oh mate so sorry to hear this
Can it be fixed if you put a triangle piece on the internal corner ?
I have vats that I can lend you to hold livestock etc while you do the work
Happy to offer my help too

Thanks for the offer Dean, Ill keep it in mind.
I probably could do a triangle piece, others have given me plenty of ideas.
However, with life being the way it is these days, its just easier to keep the strap on, and wait until a time when I will have more headspace to tackle this!
