Quick? Took 2 weeks with the use of established filter media :D

Thanks for all your comments guys. Now comes the fun part.... ................Stocking :D I'll keep you posted :thumbs:

I'd agree with you but today there was a RSPCA advert on the TV and there was a black dog sitting in the rain and a rescue person went up to it and put a blanket around her. No doggy noises or anything like that but she turned to watch it. It reminded me of this post so I came back to tell you...

:rofl: I know I have no chance of winning but I only got my bristlenoses today and they're about 0.5" long :wub:

Two bristlenoses :wub: They're teeeeeeeny :fun:

OK some more pics: Left hand side of my tank: Middle: Right hand side: One of the new plecs: Other plec: Cory under the wood: Scamper the Shrimp:

You sure have put alot of hard work into it Sam. Did you manage to find reasonable insurance?

I've ordered things from trimar before and everything went OK.

Great news Chali. How's it looking?

OK this is what I found on the royal mail website: "This applies to any manufactured food or drink for either humans or animals but does not apply to homemade or manufactured foods being sent as a personal gift to individual people in the USA but you should clearly indicate this on the Customs...

I've sent food stuffs to Turkey before without any problems??? I'll look into it anyway. Anyway, back to the thread. Continue having fun guys, if it turns out that I can't send them then I'll arrange some other prize for you overseas guys :fun:

Due to popular demand (and for fear of my life) I am holding another competition. This time you have the opportunity to win a 25g packet of Hikari Sinking Wafers. So, how do you win? Basically all you need to do is post a photo and give it a funny caption (nothing too rude please) The most...

Awwwww congratulations Granddad SD :D

Well he asked me for my 2 foot tonight too but I'm already selling it on ebay so it looks like he may be coming down with mts too :rolleyes:

I've no idea. I'll keep you posted though.

Nooooooooo, I really dont think he'd cope with live plants. Takes after his big sister that way :S

Thanks alot for that. Ites are on the way up, hope they peak soon :D

I'm doing a fishless cycle at the moment and despite reading loads of threads about it and the pinned topics, I just dont get it. :blink: I got ammonia and now that's reduced to 0pm and my Nitrites are at 2ppm. The Nitrates have been at 10 throughout. Is this right? :dunno: What next...

Awwwww I love them all :wub: Scrap that, I want them all!!! Sunflower begins to plot :shifty:

Looking alot clearer now the sand has completely cleared (apologies for the flash) Pamareters are now stabilising and just in time, I'm getting the bristlenoses this weekend :fun: (Thanks again Aquascaper)

I've just switched to sand when I upgraded my tank! It looks great! :kana: Have to have alot of patience with it though. My brother set up his tank today with sand and has taken it out already. I guess he just wanted instant results and couldnt wait for the cloudyness to clear :/

Hee hee, I got my brother into fish keeping now!!! :fun: Here is his tank (no fish in there yet) He's having a couple of my fish this weekend to cycle with :D PS - He's getting broadband on 25th so watch out cos no doubt he'll make an appearance on here.

Some employee rights dont come into play until you've got 12 months service. Definately worth seeking advice on though, if even just to get whats rightfully yours.

Well done Narayan, looks great Red :D

:o I cant wait for the snow to come over here :fun:

Nice to see your new additions. Tank looks good too :)

:lol: I was looking the other way! Oooh yeah, Millie loved that programme "when dinosaurs walked the earth"

Here she is watching Starship Troopers 2 :/

Partially aquascaped. No doubt I'll change the layout several times before it's finished cycling :rolleyes:

From what I can gather its not too hard, just have to be more careful when cleaning so that you dont suck up any sand. Apparently it looks dirty quickly though because the poop shows up more than on gravel.

Less than 24 hours later and I have an almost clear tank

Well I'll be transferring my current fish into there (plattys, corys and amano shrimp) then adding some tetras (2 kinds) or maybe rasboras. 2 Bristlenoses and a betta. Havent fully decided to be honest. Any suggestions as to what will e good with my current fish? :dunno:

I have used king british white spot control before and it worked fine for me. The trick with treating ich is patience. There is no quick cure. Keep medicating and dont forget you need to continue treatment for a couple of doses after the spots have gone. If you have any active carbon in your...

The background came on the tank but the other side was showing (garish horrible design). The design thats showing now was on the reverse. I've had water in there for about 24 hours now and have just added my sand (which I washed and washed and washed :blink: )

Does she realise that it wont just stop at 13 babies?? If the fry are of mixed genders then the breeding will continue and you'll end up with way too many for your tank.

Wont your Mum at least let you take some of the babies back?? Along with the adult platty and guppy?

Well you know where there's usually a triangle cut out of the glass at the back to make it easier to put in your heater, filter etc? Well one of them is at slightly the wrong angle meaning that the top of my water will need to be about 1cm lower then usual. Thats it!!! £250 off just for...

Great find Paul. Those battery powered syphons are great. They can suck up the poop but release the water back into the tank, scrape your glass and act as a normal syphon too. One tip though. When using it as a normal syphon, take off the end with the slots in, works much better without it :D

Do you know I have absolutely no idea. There are no identifying marks anywhere :dunno: Doesnt say on my receipt either. Sorry :unsure:

:lol: We only have a video player in the bedroom so we have alot of films on video and DVD.
