I'm Stunned

[jimbooo]

i just recieved this email from PFK

Hi James,

Thankyou for sending us your entry for the photo competition, the tank
and photo look very good.
We were wondering, if the tank is yours that is, if you would like us
to do a reader visit on you and your aquarium.
It would consist of myself and a photographer visiting you for about
half a day.
If you would be interested then please contact me.
There is of course no obligation and the visit would be separate to
your photo competition entry.

Thanks,
Jeremy Gay

Yes def, that cube is awesome! They have to see how great EI is and how well it works and you're three tanks are the best advert for it around!

Nice one Jim, it is 'credit where credit is due'

yeah thanks guy's i'll get them down quick. cube is now sold, getting picked up in the next two weeks.

the layout is totally different now but hopefully it'll look even better. the glosso in the 180 is carpeting nicely and the dennerle co2 arrives tomorrow.

Congrats mate. You must be well chuffed. Make sure you mention TFF won't you?

Oh, and don't forget to explain the benefits of nitrates and phosphates while you're at it.

 

[jimbooo]

thanks mate, will do.

if i have any input into the test of the article i'll be sure to pump it full of TFF references.

They haven't seen my photos yet. I'll post them soon.

All credit due to jimbooo though. His tanks and photos are stunning.

James - Did you send a CD in the end? Those prints didn't do justice.

Yeah. i always thought he was a shrimp....

Thats just for the chav comment..

Squid (is not a chav..his fish is!)

 

[jimbooo]

thanks guys

george: - no, i didn't. i was going to enter a CD next month. those pics were pretty awefull so i'm even more stunned that they prompted the email. come to think of it thats probably why. i can see the guys in PFK now. "this guy has a lovely tank but cant take a picture to save his life. lets get down there and do a proper job of it" or something like that.

Squid: lol, sorry dude. and please pass on my appologies to mrs angelfish. her new coat looks lovely he he.

 

[funkybodal]

That's awesome!

Look forward to seeing your tanks in a future mag...

either that or they thought you had airbrushed the algae out of the photos, cant have an algae free tank with so much NO2 and PO4 floating about can you? Surely not...

[jimbooo]

lol. nah the photo's are all fuzzy. you definatly wouldn't see any algae in them. they look great on screen but my printer is a bit pants and doesn't get close to the quality online. after printing 5 or 6 different versions on different settings i gave up and just sent the best of what i had. george saw some of the rejects that were very slightly worse than the ones i submitted.
