    Mark Evans-120 x 55 x 55cm.... 'Convalescence' The joy of shrimp

    Many thanks everyone. It's been an absolute joy posting on this forum over the years. Life goes on, and things happen that we cannot undo. I'm sure the hobby within the UK will grow, and at some point, there may be people who will genuinely challenge for the title of IAPLC champion. Good...

    Thanks for the interest guys, but sadly, the tank is now disassembled. I'm uncertain of when any kind of layout, or journal, will be completed. My sincere thanks to everyone who has followed my work, and to all that have subscribed to my you tube channel. See you all in the future....came...

    Saintly's 120cm 'hill's of desire'

    Ben! You'll be surprised at how little flow is needed in an aquarium. Everyone bangs on about how much flow is needed....the 10x rule etc. It really isn't needed. Over the last 3 years, I've come top realise that not everything depends on flow, co2 and ferts. I've run quite large aquariums...

    I'm using tropica substrate, capped with a large grain size gravel. Where it's steeper at the back, I have 2 layers of tropica substrate. Because it's about 10 inches deep, I've gone... tropica substrate-1 inch gravel - 4 inches tropica substrate - 1 inch gravel - 4 inches Using thin strips...

    Thanks for the feedback. Paulo, they are available to buy mate. For some reason, I think I've embedded the video wrong. I've watched it on my other devices, and 'in forum' in doesn't look sharp at all, yet in you tube, it's sharp as a tack!

    Thank you chaps :) Here's a few clips, with music! I didn't use the glide track, hence the poor panning shots.

    It might be Alastair, but I think it's light. I really limit my light, and have done for some time. The crypts still need to change form. They're are new leaves coming through, but plenty of the old ones left. Which will be cut off tomorrow. (Don't shout at me Michael :nailbiting:...I know, I...

    LOL! :lol: You're bang on with the LED's I've got it set, so that the last hour is the LED's that produce the 'pink/red colours. The fish look AMAZING under these. Like this image George? :facepalm: Cheers mate. Just looking for an image from an old photobucket account for George, and...

    It's a great light Alastair. I've bought some Rams today. I was a little unsure about these, as I thought they needed R/O, but these are from a tap water tank. ram by saintly's pics, on Flickr

    Stu, I didn't realise they were so boisterous! I may take them out., but there's now one reason why I may not. I've just got an Arcadia LED luminaire to try out. It's the freshwater Classica version, which is extremely bright. After much preparation, I've got it sorted out. It's all about the...

    I did wonder if it was tongue in cheek...but wasn't sure LOL George, when I wrote 'algae free' I did smile, and think....OOOOPS! The tank is full of it! :lol: Viktor, no problem mate. Good post. I think it's good to show some of the things that get forgotten and try and bring them back...
