    Meet at a1Matt's - Scape competition poll!

    We had a little scape competition when at Matt's at the weekend, and we decided to post the photos up for everyone to vote on! As yet, we don't know what the winner gets... Perhaps just the knowledge that their scape outshone the others on the day? We decided to keep it anonymous, so please...

    Cleaning marine algae/crust off equipment

    Hey folks. A work mate has very kindly given me a Koralia 1 which he was using in his marine setup, until he replaced it with Tunze powerheads. It turned up on my desk this morning covered in the usual marine algae and "concreation" (for want of a better term). Just wondering if there are any...

    What I do when I'm bored at work.

    Sitting doodling an idea for a small tank I have kicking about at the moment: Anyone else sit doing this, when they should be working/studying etc? :lol:

    How often do you get a flash of inspiration?

    Hey gang. I was just reading through a few journals, and had a spark of inspiration for a scape. This seems to happen when I'm looking around day to day for me. I'd say I come up with a few good scape ideas a week (over and above the usual "ooh, that'd look cool" which is at least once a...

    Inspiration thread - Post your sources of inspiration!

    Thought I'd start this thread to try and make a cohesive list of inspiring websites full of great photos etc. Not so much looking for sites with information or individual photographs, but things like galleries, flikr sets etc etc. Also nature photography galleries and landscapes. I'll start...

    IAPLC booklets - worth buying?

    Hey guys. I was looking at buying a few things and the oppertunity to buy a copy of the any of the IAPLC booklets for 2001 - 2005 has arisen. I wondered if they're a good read and if anyone has an idea for which year is particularly good? Cheers, Steve.

    Poll: What's your favourite aquascaping style?

    Just thought I'd continue the "Do you like Iwagumi scapes?" thread and broaden it a bit... I've probably missed off some styles (let me know and I'll update). I think I'm still hung up on the Nature/Wood style. I love some of the CAU scapes, and really liking George's scape in PFK. Another...

    Bloomin' snails.

    Stupid me decided to buy some apple snails recently and throw them in my 90cm "learner" tank. I'd read they can eat some plants, but having had a solitary apple snail before and not noticing any issues I figured it wouldn't be an issue. Anyhow, 8 small chestnut apple snails later, and half of...

    Bought a new Domain, but what to do with it?

    Couldn't resist yesterday, I found that the domain aquascaped.net was available so I yoinked it for $10 :) Currently pointed it at the UKAPS forums untill I decide what to do with it. I've not really got any aquascapes of my own to put on there. I thought about some sort of blog type affair...

    Luminaire finally arrived! Yay!

    Postie turned up at the door at 8am this morning with my eBay purchase - an 80cm 4x 24w T5 Arcadia luminaire! Whilst at the Festival of Fishkeeping I got carried away in the B&B room after getting an internet connection sorted out. I was very please to score it for £50! Had to pay £15...

    A thought for a small outdoor plant pond (90 litres or so)

    I've been thinking about putting together a small outdoor planted "pond" recently. When I say pond, I don't mean digging out a large hole and filling it with water (as much as I'd love to). The problem is I rent where I live. While the garden is pretty much mine to do with as I please, I...

    Just typical...

    Over the past few weeks I've been getting back into the idea of doing some aquascaping. I've just spent the last 2 hours or so cleaning out my small tank which I've neglected for the last 6 months. Its been sitting on my desk with plants growing immersed, and just in a real state. Anyhow, so...

    Supporting UKAPS?

    Hi all. Is there currently a way (that I've not spotted) or plans for being able to support UKAPS via donations/purchasing merchandise (would love a UKAPS sticker for my laptop!) or anything else? You guys have seemingly put a lot of effort into this, and time and money I'd expect! Seems fair...
