    Oriole

    All my scapes are dead, push them to the edge In the whirlwind that was 2023, the first half was filled with aquarium joy; from shop visits to aquarium events, wholesale tours and more! The latter half however was quite the opposite. As I prepared to move to Canada, all my aquariums needed to...

    The Shortest Day

    After a gentle nudge by @CooKieS , I've decided to make a micro journal for a tank build I'm doing. (Tropica Substrate used as a base layer in case the scape is run longer term) The tank is a WIO 60F (60cm x 30cm x 22cm) loaned to me by @LondonAquascaper and is being set up as part of a...

    Pillar of Convenience

    Admitting is the First Step It's OK to be 'over' a setup before it's 'finished', and I suspect that is what happened with my Cenote biotope. The biotope and concept itself is beautiful but I was ultimately cramming a square peg into a round hole. To really grasp the epic nature of the cenotes I...

    Bridge O'er Blackened Water (to Clearwater)

    Fun Across the Pond I recently returned from a 2 week aquarium extravaganza in the USA. If there's such a thing as fishkeeper's indulgence, this was it! SO much fun was had and memories made. The first part was spent at the Aquatic Gardeners Association (AGA) Conference. Within the first 12...

    'Cozen' - Journey to IAPLC '22 (Next stop: Cenote Aktun Ha!)

    I simply couldn't bare it anymore. I'm currently working on my (first) IAPLC entry and it just felt totally wrong not sharing it with my UKAPS family. It's like having some kind of secret affair! I'm aware that there's some stuff I can't show you but I'll share what I can. Also I'm a total...

    The Edible Scape

    Over the past weeks and months I've felt a surge in inspiration, creativity and a desire to put my hands to everything. I have plenty of future projects I'd like to do but after speaking with a friend I suddenly realised there was one on the list that really should be happening now, there's no...

    Frankenstein

    The cat is out of the bag! So I'm setting up another scape, this time a nano. I was planning to do this at a leisurely pace but when I realised I needed to rescue some cherry shrimp from my main tank I hit fast forward. And c'mon, does anyone really need an excuse to set up another scape...

    Pico Pond (and everything else!)

    Hey guys! Whilst my new scape is settling in I'm attempting a completely experimental project. I'm making a tiny 'pond' indoors. I'm not heavily investing in it in terms of equipment, I just want to see what happens and maybe if I'd be interested in doing a proper setup with a shallow boy...

    Tidy Jungle II, III and IV

    Hi Everyone! It's been a long time since I've been on UKAPS actively but for obvious reasons (and an injury) I've had a lot more time to devote to my aquarium. Some of you might remember my first journal 75 Gallon Tidy Jungle which was a low energy, densely planted setup. It was really...

    Tidy Jungle

    Hey guys, this is the start of my continous journal of my new aquarium. I'm upgrading from a Fluval Roma 200 which is 44 UK gallon/52 US gallon tank to a Juwel Rio 300 which is 76 UK gallon/92 US gallon. Latest Tank Shot Like my other tank this will be a planted tank. I was previously...
