Pfk Aquascaping Contest Reminder

[George Farmer]

Hi all,

Just a quick reminder to let you all know that you have about 3 weeks left to submit entries to the PFK Aquascaping Contest.

If you're thinking about entering, please do. The more the merrier! It's the taking part that counts, of course.

For more details see here - http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=185978&hl=

If you can't get hold of an entry form then PM me and I'll see what I can do...

Cheers,

George (your friendly moderator and planted tank nerd)

Hi george, i am not to pleased with myself after all the time i had to prepare my set up i feel i have made a total bodge up with it all regards john.

I shouldn`t worry about it too much John. The look of my three tanks is something that has happened despite all my plans.

Aquascapes are living, dynamic things that you coax in to the general direction you want it to go, rather than mould it exactly to form. For now, just get to grips with growing plants, learning how to prune and shape them. A certain element of the look will come purely from getting the stems to bush out and creating a healthy jungle.

By the time the tank is stable and algae free, then you can really start to play around with the look. This is the point where you find out what a truly crap aquascaper you are, just like I did.

Dave.

Hi Dave, some wise words of experience from you as always , i think i was expecting too much from the start but what i am going to do is remove the crap rock this sunday and add more plants instead, the plants i have at the moment are pearling like crazy so hopefully things are going ok the water is clearing nicely and ph is 7 in the mornings and 6.8 in the evenings. regards john.

I've just made a fairly big change to my Juwel 70 and, hopefully, it would have filled in before competition deadline...

Hi Corin, good luck with it and i hope you enter and do well you deserve it for all the hard work you put in especially on your tight budget, regards john.

Did I miss the entry form in this months issue? I've been through a few times and it isn't there....I have old magazines with them in, but I'd have thought this month would have been the last big push?

Always baffles me, magazines out for 'September' but they are only available for ~5 days of that month

i'm not a happy camper!! i have a sim card with 50+ photo's of my tank over the past 2 months which i was going to use for the comp....

i've lost it, searched the whole house, emptied every drawer and cupboard, gutted the car... there's nowhere else to look.

i guess i'll have to take some more pics tonight but i have been without co2 for 2 weeks now and the plants aren't exactly as perky as usual. damn it.

grrrrrrr

Silly question. Is the sim card in the camera, computer or phone?
