Used to play a lot of wow- a lot meaning 8 hours a day with a hardcore Dutch guild lol! My healer was rated 16th on this European server - considering there must be thousands and thousands of active players on each server i was pretty chuffed with that. Just downloaded Elder scrolls online as well

Just got the new Xbox Series S home earlier - left it downloading some games whilst i popped out for some gaming headphones.. Ive got 500gb full fat fibre and its taking sooo long the games are huge - Destiny 2 is 104GB! Ive got a few games in the queue - Microsoft Games Pass was £1 for the...

I think i had to go payg for a stupid spec. I did a speed test and got some silly number like 4000gb. I used to work in a internet provider and its because people like Microsoft dont just have the odd rack mounted server in a data centre but a whole data centre. I went to one called Telehouse...

Lol,,I used to have my own little IT shop back in 2000, it only lasted about 2 years as I couldn’t match the bulk buy prices places like PC World got but sites like Overclockers weren’t as well known. we used to make big 3 screen Battlefield machines for LAN parties and it’s about then that...

No mate there’s a way around this I use gmail which you can do the alias thing with (+1,+2) etc And if you use a South Central America location there’s no cap When you validate you need to build it a certain way: Windows 2016 Standard HDD NV Series Region Microsoft Region List NV6. ( this...

Cool i used to build water cooled lan rigs. A custom gaming build is still the way to go for gaming as long as you don’t mind upgrading every few years to cope with the new games. I found that putting so much money into other hobbies meant I couldn’t spend over a grand on a nice machine so the...

Ive found that even the digital thermometers can be +/- 3-4 degrees out. So now i use a mercury one hidden away which i know is accurate but as you said difficult to read. Then use a DB1820 probe with a STC1000 controller and calibrate it each month.

I use a new plastic dustbin for my water changes and as you said just give it a good clean with hot water. I bought some of the below from Draper for £7 and they were a god send when lifting a 450 litre tank. It was a nightmare

Hi all I meant to preorder but with the 5ft tank build being a money pit I never had chance. Now it seems too be a bit of a fiasco with PS5’s going for nearly £900 on EBay.. Xbox Series X was my next choice but there sold out and they too have a markup second hand - soo found myself a...

Yeah your right they just went. The big 100-400 is a beast and expensive so lots of people were following auction onj Ebay

There’s some great pets in the competition.. Trevor is unaware of the building tension

Hi everyone Just to let you all know I’m selling a couple of decent lenses . There on EBay and Shpock but if anyone wants them please let me know and ill do a discount. Canon 100-400 mm f4.5 -5.6 IS USM white - currently on Ebay for around £650 Sigma 12-24mm EX DG HSM - currently on Ebay...

Lots of caves and hidey holes so they can claim territory and then there’s no aggression

And just got the text alerts working before bed!

Started the live dashboard, this is what will be on the monitor on the panel under the tank and can be cast to the big tv, just need to wire in the probes now!

Stock? Who me?

I’m selling this fellow

Does it have to be a jaguar?

I wear a vintage Polo Club one - not sure if its worth much (if anyone knows then shout ) i like it thoughI

Remember that 1 cubic metre of water weighs a 1000kg. make sure you check where the joists are depending on the floor you are going to use you can always use the washers as above to get the floor level then put down some metal sheeting that the tank will then sit on

Final job tonight once ive had a quick gaming session is to sort out Logmein or a RDC for the mini pc so i can log in from my ipad

16th November 2020 Update Eventually managed to get all the rewiring done, but there in lies a cautionary tale. Id spent the day extended the cable length of 15 pieces of equipment got myself in a real muddle and basically wired a plug from the mains straight into the 5ft LEDs which it turns...

I’m planning on a sump for my new 7ft in a few months, in my opinion it will allow me to get all of the equipment out of the tank, I’ll still be using external filters just propped up on some sort of from in one of the sump sections. As the previous poster said if your experienced enough to...

End of night update 15th November 2020 Spent pretty much the entire day cutting off plugs and adding in longer wires so they would all reach under the cabinet. Still a few to do but happy I’ve done a lot. Stained the panel and mounted the STC 1000 and the mini pc bits and bobs. Tomorrow will...

Sunday 15th November update Had a sleepy day yesterday so woke up today with some parcels on my bed. The STC 1000 A funky little keyboard for the mini pc And a new multi tool as mine was battered and frankly a bit dangerous. So today I’ll wire up the STC , get the pc working and start...

Here’s my little hound..

Aquaadvisor base their flow rates on about 67% of the manufacturers stated gph. Its very subjective and is affected by contents of the tank ie. rock & plants also filter media types will change the flow rate. Practical Fishkeeping did a comparison a while ago that you can look up but the...

Hi everyone I’d like to introduce to someone very special in my life – ‘Trevor’ He’s 4 months old and a Shar Pei cross Neapolitan Bull Mastiff. I was released from prison in March of this year, it was the lowest point of my life but I vowed from the day of release to improve myself and help...
