Hi all,

I went on holiday (took my lad camping for the first time in Sussex) and came home to find a VERY noisy filter, lots of green dust algae BUT one of the Anubis has started to flower!

One clean out of the impeller and the filter is fine now and I have bought some Siamese Algea Eaters to help with the algea
 
So today was pruning day.....I thought today was a good day to do it as there was another load of snails eggs on the swords at the front and a prune would mean getting rid of them

so the before shot....

I know from experience the swords at the front will bounce back in no time and the stumps will melt away too
 
Well Andy I have trimmed them back now he has gone to bed

Also I ran out of potassium Nitrate today when mixing my ferts....I cant believe people buy pre mixed...it cost me £7 inc postage for enough to last me a couple of years and you would be paying £15 for something which would only last a few weeks!
 
Thanks Andy....its years of being a member on here and picking up tips!!!

Although if anyone has any tips on getting rid of java moss if very much like them!

Oh the joys of a 4 year old....so I noticed my plants were going mad pearling....and my fish were very lack luster yesterday..today the fish were gasping for Air and the plants had bubble dirorea! So out came the chemicals and tested for everything amonia fine....nitrite fine nitrate fine....pH however was well off...my ph monitor that controls the tank was showing 8 and the test showed under 6! So I got the buffer solution out and yes my monitor was well off? So I corrected it...my lad saw me doing this and said "that's what I did to help you daddy" aaaahhhhh!!!!!
