I love Christmas but not months of it 😂, the tree won’t go up until after the 19th December (my Mums birthday). For the last 4 years (?) we all (me and my three adult children and their families) have had our Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve, the two boys go and do their thing Christmas Day and...

I’m looking at pumps and piping at the moment as I’m getting a bigger tank for Christmas 🙂 and that will definitely need a proper system, and I don’t have a mixer tap to run a Python (and they seem to waste a huge amount of water). Probably less stressful than changing the water mix he seems...

That is another option…🤔😂

Dig it into the garden borders to improve soil condition…?

I’m in a first floor flat, so don't have the luxury of a basement, garage etc. So I end up having to mix two, five litre buckets. Storage space is at a premium so having containers of pre-mixed, heater water isn’t really an option and a 5 litre bucket gets heavy. I don’t want to risk upsetting...

I’m old and in the uk, I’ll be a good guinea pig 😂 If I can get it to work anyone will be able to 😂😂 Let me know what info you will need and I’ll pm you.

Morning 🙂, I currently use 50/50 tap and RO water for Blue, but keeping the mix and temperature the same is a bit of a faff 😳. Would he be ok in pure RO water, would it need to be re-mineralised (if so by any set amount)? And how long would it take to change from 50/50 to 100%..? From other...

Exactly!! 😂😂😂

I think everyone, including :werewolf: should be allowed to attend. I’m sure the time, whatever it is where you are, will be perfect for some and others can have the excitement of staying up late, getting up early, or even setting an alarm and getting up in the middle of the night just like...

Why..? Just why..? The very thought of choosing to go into a cave is enough to worry me, but alone…?? 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️😂

I’ve opened it on my iPad and taken a screen shot - is that any easier for you..? I don’t know enough about what I’m looking at to give any further advice…sorry…

It’s difficult to reply for for someone else, and I think I probably had the same thoughts about someone else keeping the basics ticking over, but in times of emergency the essentials get attended to and non-essentials get left. I’m sure there were times when the family looked at the...

Or both just checking our time zones 😂😂

I don’t drink water at all, only use it to make tea/coffee/squash…😳

Thank you. Trying to work out time differences if we manage to organise the Christmas meet up 😂

@I Like Rare Fish, just a really odd question, what time and date are you on right now..? It’s 05:12 on 17th November here…

That’s totally your choice, and I respect the amount of time and effort you put into these, just don’t want you to be adding any extra stress to your life - there’s enough of that going round anyway. 🙂

I’ve just had a look at that link, that’s not your water companies water quality report, that’s some environmental group lobbying for something. As someone that works with data all day, I’d be cautious making lots of work “treating” your tap water unless you know how and where they’ve gathered...

I think it looks amazing, and that little pop of colour when it’s in the water and surrounded by all the other ‘landscaping’ will look amazing 😀😍

You could number them..?

Beginning of October and they say ‘delivery is taking about 20 working days’. I’ve heard the tanks are very good quality, it’s a shame that their customer service doesn’t meet the same standards. ☹️

Used the ‘new’ way… No comment on the grounds I may incriminate myself😂😂

Yes ☹️

@Linkandnavi - beautiful tanks, I’m very jealous ☹️ EDIT: Just to say I’m still waiting for a standard tank, managed to get hold of them on the phone yesterday and they thought it had been dispatched, but I haven’t had an email. They said it might be today or tomorrow…so I’ll chase again if I...

I just click the quote or reply button on the thread I want to quote/reply to and delete any “extra” bits…I’ll have to try this the other way now 🙂

Steady on now @ClownLurch - they’ll get you banned for being political 😂😂😂

We could have a UK one, and all sit with cups and saucers with tea and tiny sandwiches with no crusts 😂😂😂

Why limit it to one part of one country..? That’s not very inclusive… as long as you are clear on what the time is in different places. And Christmas Eve, without factoring in loads of time zones, is usually pretty busy for most people. I thinks it’s a brilliant idea though 👍🏻

Please ignore @robmcd - he’s just joking (I hope 🤔😂). Of course your studies have to come first 👍🏻 Could you re-name the thread to something like, ‘Rare Fish’s Rare Fish Compilation’..? Take some of the time pressure off when other stuff has to happen first..?

I use straight tap water (treated for chlorine etc.) in my tank without filtering. My water is hard (16dH) but I just choose fish that like that type of water. I also have a smaller tank with a Betta in it and have to mix my tap water 50/50 with RO water as I didn’t know anything about water...

My youngest son, now 23, was born completely encased in the intact amniotic sack - I was really poorly with Eclampsia so I had a consultant delivering him and he said that it was, “an auspicious birth”! Anyway, as a small boy he was always a bit odd, and one evening as I was putting him to bed...

I have the Eheim pickup 60, and the smaller version 45(?) in the smaller tank for my Betta.

This is going to be lovely 🥰 you are very talented 🙂

Thank you 🙂

I thought I’d update this thread…what a long process and what a differance between the planned tank and the finished item! I battled exploding soil, a total re-plant, amazing algae and 🐌 🐌 🐌… Then, the tank would just not finish cycling… that last 0.25 of ammonia would just not shift 😡. I...

No idea 😂

Are there any fruits or vegetables that SHOULD NOT be used..?

It’s been a VERY LONG TIME since I’ve been called a ‘young whipper snapper’ 🤣🤣🤣
