    Re-education.....

    It is because the pictures were originally hosted on ImageShack.us, which years ago, as UKAPS didn't host pictures, was the correct and free way to host (such a fantastic :D) pictures.

    Welcome back. Please fill with shrimps in excess like your Aquanano40 which is one of my favourite journals. Shame some of the pic's have gone in that journal.

    Looks good, I am happy with any hardscape placement people do and when the plants are in will look completely different. Couple of quick things... I see you have bare copper pipes present in you light stands. These will quickly tarnish in presence of tank water splashes, as tank water is...

    A 'little' box of chocolates, licorice n allsorts - baby chocco fry

    My mate had a similar issue to what you are seeing. He got a tiny leak from the top 1/3 of the silicone on the front of his 3 foot tank. Fixed by applying aquatic silicone from the inside, but a year or two later leaked again same edge but higher up. Whilst talking to a glazier, he went to a...
