For the price it is the picture of the unit make it appear rather plasticky I'd certainly want to see this unit in person before buying it.

Just seen an interesting article on TGM website which may interest a few. http://www.thegreenmachineonline.com/ar ... -led-light I'm considering one for my 40cm cube. Although i'm quite aware TGM are a very reputable reference for this light but have any UKAPS members used this light before?

Nice pics despite the one of the back of my head in James Marshall' seminar :)

I recall chatting to a couple of the guys on the ADC stand at Aquatics Live they mentioned they currently had a few chaps bidding on a black tang it had reached £600 at that point! :jawdrop It's widely reported that boxer Amir Khan paid £3200 for a gem tang! Is there any surprise I moved away...

Thank you. I'm fairly happy with everything although I'm sorely tempted to replant / reorganise the left side of the tank really once my LFS gets new stock of plants in this may happen. The scales are made by a company called Typhoon we bought them from a shop in Brighton called 'England at home'

I live close to Brighton and started my tank by using a mix approximately 70/30 ro/tap water mix. I was getting terrible issues with algae and since then now use 100% RO using Sera KH/PH plus to remineralise so far I've not seen any ill side affects livestock certainly seems to be doing better.

and one more ....

Ok below are some updated pictures. I found it extremely difficult to take anything but full tank shots just due to the focus. Three of my four Oto's

Madness :crazy: Will be worth it in the long run though :D

Look forward to seeing how this turns out, quite an expirmental set up I like the courage show to take this on

One thing I manged to glean from the aquatics live show and in particular the talk by George Farmer was to dose daily rather than weekly. 'better to eat little by little than one huge meal' I think was te phrase or something very similar. Perhaps attempt this along with the lighting as other...

Wow they certainly have a valid and welcome USP! Definitely something for the future I'll make sure I look out for them. Can anyone else offer any feed back on these havin tried them themselves? The gloopy gel doesn't sound attractive

If you're going to all the effort of stripping down your tank save a few extra quid and go with a substrate we all know does the job.

I second this :thumbup: Just make sure with the Ottos that when you buy them that you have absolutely no traces of ammonia or they will snuff it. They're an easy fish to keep once you've had them a month if they're not going to be successful in your tank you'll know within the first week. I...

Ok a long awaited update showing some growth on the Limnophila but also this image has just about captured the first chamber of the filter showing the biological filtration.
