Something I love about UKAPS is the sheer number of amazing journals. When I first joined, I dived into the Featured Journals and was so inspired by them, and learnt a huge amount from them, so I was quite sad when I realised I'd read them all!
I thought that was it for amazing journals, but then realised there so many incredible non-featured journals too. What I really love about these journals is the variety - all different styles, experiments and approaches. It's not about world-class photography (though many have it!), it's about trying out ideas and sharing knowledge. In my tank's journal, people have posted a few links to fantastic ones I'd never be able to find otherwise, especially as some are a decade old. I'd love to read some more gems
So I wondered... what are your favourite non-featured journals?
I will start with...
I've been looking at ripariums a lot recently, so I love <@Hydrophyte's journals> (thanks for the rec @mort). Great selection of unusual plants, and all are named (nothing more annoying than a beautiful tank with no plant names attached!!)
Another rec from @ScareCrow was this <wonderful killifish jungle tank from @killi69>, which is such a beautiful combination of luscious growth and stunning special fish.
This <lovely lowtech South American dream tank> from @mrjackdempsey, recommended to me by @dw1305, another beautiful tank with fantastic vigorous plants and lovely rare fish.
<@CooKieS has loads of completely stunning journals>, absolute hardscape dreams
<@Shinobi also has lots of beautiful journals>, with amazing hardscape and really stunning colours
Finally, <@zozo's 3 of life>, which was the first time I saw beautiful emersed growth and it totally enchanted me.
There are so many more than this, let's share them!
