Thats brilliant!

Yep, our cats lov'em! We used to have a hampster that was partical to them as well!

Dam,I missed this!! I would have been well up for this if I could have organised the time off, would have been a nice change from the normal rat race of my ecologist job.

Its a free country, buy from who you want to! :lol: But you do get what you pay for. Tropica spend a lot of money looking for new plants and bring 5-6 (if not more) new plants to the hobby every year. Books take years to write and publish so will never be fully up-to-date on all the latest...

Happy Xmas all :)

Changed ;)

I'm an ecologist, working for a private company in Oxford. Spend most of my days either in attics looking for bats, under hedgerows looking for badgers or in a stream looking for water voles. I like the job and it gets me out of the office but its dam stressful and I loose most of my evening...

Anybody looked into micro generation? I see British Gas are doing the first commercially available system? Seems like a good way to go, but guess it’s not as tried and tested as solar, etc so may be a bit too soon still. Would certainly consider it if my current boiler packed up, though. Does...

He was part of the Admin team, but had to back out due to work commitments and lack of time. I don't think he's active much any more. Sam

Quality, that takes me back! I used to make loads of Airfix models, many a happy hour spent getting high from the glue! Sam

Its looks very 'electronic' to me, which is what you'd expect from the Japanese I guess. Prefer the old one personally! Sam

A stark contrast.

I hear that, boring is good sometimes. Rain is about the only thing we have to worry out in the UK. Sam

:lol: probably still cheaper than this hobby of ours!

Great photos and lovely bird to get in the garden :) I've seen attachments for scopes that allow you to mount the camera on the top for photos if you're thinking of doing it a lot :) Sam

Keep us posted on progress :) does look like a nice model once built :) Sam

Sounds good Graeme :thumbup: let me know if I can help or point you in the right direction to something. I know how hard Ecology is to get into. Would you be interested in doing some bat surveys? Haven't got anything specific in mind, but I can let you know if something crops up, up your way...

Happy new year all :) Sam

Crickey! Where did you find him? Sam

And to you all :)

Interesting, cheers. Sam

How the hell can it cost £105!!!! Sam

Re: Joke of the day I'm rather ashamed to say thath that made me chuckle. Sam

I order two resun wave makers and they sent me 4! In the same packet as well! Sam

Sounds like a nice promotion, to an instructor? How will that change your day to day work load and time-off? Still living away during the week? I bet you'll miss being hands on with fixing things? Though you'll also need to keep on top of new developments in the technology as well? I've been...

Just watched it :) great program and forest :) Sam

No worries, Andy, I didn't take it personal like :) Sam

Just please have a little symtathy for those who saved and saved and managed to scrape together enough for a deposit to by their first aquarium in...2007 and are now facing a lifetime of never being able to upgrade. Sam

I saw this yesterday, think its quite funny :)

Nasty, worth remembering. Thanks for the heads up. Sam

I didnt know that! I'll make sure I say it is a gift from now on! Sam

Which article do you mean? Coudl you link to it. Sam

Thats a shame matey, hopefully not your last foray into the planted side of the hobby though? I've dipped in and out over the years as situations change, but think I'll always maintain a planted tank of some kind, even if its just a nano. Cant they just turn one of the radiators off? ;) Sam

Quality Dan looks brill fun :) Sam

Just thought I move this to a more appropriate section :) Sam

My wife always laughs at as, as no matter what we're watching I always spot the fish tank. I even spot them in adverts! Sam

Oh right I see. Sam :)

Daft thing!! It must have jumped into it pass the air bubble!!! Sam

And you John :)

Thanks everyone :) still settling in at home and getting things sorted and finding a routine, but getting there. Biz is doing a brill job of feeding and things, but I get my hands dirty plenty as well ;) Sam

Nice one :thumbup: pretty cool being a Dad hey? Sam

Thanks all, we're totally made up with here :) Sam

Just letting everyone know, that Imogen Grace was born at 4:40pm on Thursday, 7lb 10oz, everyone doing really well :) Sam

Yeh was for Samsung's LED TV, took three months to film and get right apparently. Sam

Loving this photo mate :) Sam

Congrats Simon :) Say goodbye to sleep ;) Sam

Nice!

Cool, love things like this. The article is interesting too, so many thing we just dont know yet! Sam

Ecologists working for a private consultancy based just outside Oxford. Seem to spend rather a lot of time looking at animal poo and trying to work out which particular animal left it behind! Gets me out of the office though, which I'm glad for. Get cabin fever over the winter stuck in the...

Does it have to be tropical? I remember seeing on one of the hugh fearnley-whittingstall programs a fish farm in the UK that was connected to a water cress farm that grow trout without needing to add any extra food. The fish just eat the things that got flushed out of the cress beds. Worked a...

Nice one Steve, probably best you didn't stay long, you may have traded your flight home for a ADA filter or something! :lol: Sam

Very nice, I could see myself coming home with a new hobby if I ever visited the Reptile Room :lol: I would probably get a dart frog then at least I could have some emersed growth anubias, cryps and echs in the tank ;) Sam

Life gets like that Mate, been there myself, last year when work just to over my life. It will be a shame not to see your tanks on here, but equally, glad to hear you're not leave the hobby altogether. Planning a new tank is half the fun too! Out of interest - what size is the dennerle nano...

:lol:

Brill news, glad she was delivered safely :) Sam

Whats going on now! 171-2! Sam

Thats a hell of a stage. Sam

Dam straight!

Not bad so far! Sam EDIT - they avoided the follow on which is a shame, that would have been useful.

Last time I did a water change Sam

Haha cool :) Sam

They might say that if they saw all your tanks! :lol: :lol: Sam

Anyone on facebook seen some of the pictures draw on the graffiti app? Some of it is impossibly good, like this one. http://apps.facebook.com/graffitiwall/g ... 1&type=top Sam

It is soo minimalistic that I can't even load it up! :lol: Sam

This is pretty cool http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/ ... etail.html Sam

Some pretty cool slow-mo photos of bullets hitting things. Here are the best, http://thechive.com/2009/07/bullets-hit ... /#comments His full collection is here http://www.flickr.com/photos/8763834@N02/ This is probably my favourite. Sam

Haha thats pretty cool. Sam

:lol:

He's 2.5 year old, had him since Jan and he's wicked, best pet Ive ever had. Sam

I would but he's got used to it now, so not as obvious. It was quality :lol: Sam

Hi all Just thought I would share these photos of Arthur. He couldn't help himself the other day when I took him onto a site with me and he must have chased every rabbit within a mile radius. Unfortunately his exuberance resulted in him taking the skin off the pads on his front feet so the...

Worth an ask :P Sam

Try all the 'F's' my compac has a built in backup disk (under a separate hard disk partition), think its under F11, it does wipe and reinstall everything but you'd get the computer back. Why didn't I get an Ipod...? :lol: Sam

Nice one, cheers for the heads up. I assume that was under contents cover? Sam

Cool news :) really pleased for you :) Sam

Ditto :) dont leave John.

Press space bar!

It would take days to play! Sam

Did anyone see the monster of a freshwater ray he taught last night? It was HUGE! Never even heard of a freshwater ray let alone see one on a program! It must have been around this size... Sam

You looking for a managers job? Thats some 'outside the box' thinking if I ever did see it! :lol: Sam

Whilst I agree, just think back to when we all started in the hobby. Did we know any better? I was useless and tff was the first forum I had ever joined so I didn't know any better. I know better now, and always search a forum before posting. But if people stopped helping out newbies we'd...

I guess this may also be a symptom of the relatively young age of the forum and small number of members? c2000 is good but with more people will come more ideas and more scapes and greater variety. Sam

Yeh guess so, Andy though I also guess we can only comment on what people post on which at the mo is mainly nature, but then that just makes it a vicious cycle! I cant say I look any any other forums now, I just dont have the time and I like to get to know one place really well than a few not...

Maybe I'm missing something, but I had thought/hoped/felt that this was happening already? Maybe thats just me though :) :lol: I guess I dont have to do any work...:lol: Sam

It is good to keep up with new trends and styles though, to keep the hobby fresh and developing, its also still a relatively new hobby in the UK and I guess it's inevitable that we are heavily influenced by other countries. Once things develop Im sure the UK will develop its own range of...

Loving the photo George, if nothing else, at lease everyone has something to laugh at :lol: ;) Love this forum, always have, no doubt always will :) Sam

Now who has enough time (at work?!?!) to do that? ;)

Cheeky! You've only just added that :P Sam

Glad to here that :) good price too. I assume its fully chelated? Whats the suggested mix for a stock solution? Sam

Just noticed the new banner :) Let me be the first to welcome fluidsensoronline.com on board :) Sam

I'm on a meter, but I still only pay £14 a month for my water. It costs 50p for one cubic meter of tap water (1000lt) which I am then also charges £1 for disposal/treatment, so that's £1.50 per 1000lt, barely even notice the different, and I've been using Ro on my 250lt for the last few...

Well spotted :) thinks its good as the last ones were set quite low. Its a good sign of the kind of traffic the forum is getting. Sam

Nice one, well done everyone :) Sam

Interesting :)

Another 2-3" here over night, I've only worked 1.5 days this week!

Matt made a suit out of 100% snow and tried to hold up a post office

A good 3~" here, most we've had so far, woohoo!!! Love it!! Sam

Shsss Nick is santa...

Have you checked this out? http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/utilities/ Always worth a look for cheap deals and good advice, etc. Sam

Nick is 298 years old, having found the elixir of internal life in a can of Heinz baked beans. You cheeky sod! :lol:
