Stumbled across this yesterday. It's great to watch the bears catching salmon! The Riffles - Brown Bear & Salmon Cam - Bears - explore

Currently I'm saving towards deposit/costs but I'm browsing properties online regularly. Is it wrong to base my house criteria on aquarium capacity and whether the garden has/can fit a pond? :lol: Not sure about my priorities :D

Hi folks. I thought I'd post this as a bit of advice for people posting their lovely looking aquascapes online. I would advise that people consider subtly adding a watermark/adding their name to a corner of their photos when they post them online. This at least means that you will get some...

Heya folks. Just saying I'm back and more active on the forum again, after a bit of a hiatus. Life and other interests have distracted me from the aquascaping scene somewhat. I've recently moved back to my parent's house, in order to try and save up a good chunk of cash to get on the property...

Just browsing ebay for some floating plants and stumbled across this auction: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0560834549 To me, that is a bowl full of duckweed with several frogbit plants, not "200+" plants as the seller describes. I sent them a polite message saying as such -...

This made me chuckle :lol:

I've been getting more and more into my bikes lately, more so since getting a new single speed bike last month. I started off riding it single speed (with a freewheel) but soon changed it to a fixed wheel (can't stop pedalling!) I have to say I'm loving it! Anyhow, today I met up with some...

Wondered if anyone had seen this before. It's been floating around since March, but I only just found it the other day and was in awe! http://www.thru-you.com/ Essentially, for those that haven't seen it, it's a guy who's taken a shed load of Youtube videos, mostly of people singing or...

Hey all. As you may know, I've spent the last 3.5 weeks on holiday in the US. It's been fantastic! Really great to get away from the daily grind and do something completely different. I thought I'd post some pics. I seem to have come home with over 1400 photos! I'm going to sort through...

I've spent the week with my brother and family in the US and have been doing a bit of fishing. I haven't fished since I was about 13 but I've really enjoyed it. Today we fished at a lake in Rudolph Bennet park, a sort of wildlife area with a large fishing lake/pony trails etc. After a slow...

Hey guys. I'm still on holiday at the moment. I fly home on Monday, which I'm not really looking forward too. I'm spending my last week staying with my brother and family. We're spending our time fishing, doing family stuff, shopping etc but today we had something else to do. Being the USA...

Some of you may know I'm on holiday in the USA at them moment (see sig for blog link :)). I've just spent 4 days in San Francisco, and was fortunate enough to be able to make it to Aqua Forest to have a look around and purchase a few items :) I managed to snap a few pics, so thought I'd share...

All this MP's expenses business is ridiculous. I've been avoiding the news mostly, but it's hard not to hear about it. I particularly liked the Daily Show's skit about it a few weeks back :lol: Anyhow, a musical buddy of my Sisters has made a comedy song which I think is pretty good :D Check...

Hey all. I'm really only dreaming, but it's a possibility that I might try and get an iMac. Anyhow, I notice that the software "Aperture 2" is available. I was wondering how this compared to something like Adobe Lightroom etc? Anyone got experience of this software?

Ok, random question here. I have two mate's arguing about there mileage on their cycle computers, and it's been established that one of the cycle computers is wrong :lol: Anywho, the cycle computer at fault has done 54 miles total. We also know that over a 4.35 mile journey, the incorrect...

I've just spent two hours fiddling with one of my tanks, trying to get it back from the brink of algae doom. I popped into P@H last night and bought two tropica "Medium plant on wood". I bought the biggest bolbitis I've ever seen (not seen many!) I'd guess it's about 4 pot's worth. Also...

Hey guys. I know that there are several anglers on the forum (John and Dan for starters). I used to go fishing as a kid with my Brother and Grandad about 20 years ago but stopped after about 5 years. My Grandad passed away about 7 years ago, and my bro now lives in the states, but I'd like to...

I'm not a major fan of F1, but I will watch it if it's on. I'm not passionate about it so I don't really follow all the politics behind the recent dodgy decisions etc. Anyhow, I know this is make or break for Hamilton, and what ever people's perceptions of him are, I wondered how many are...

Well, got soaked on the way to lunch today but I've been "rewarded" by the fact that it's turned to snow! After 30 seconds of standing in a doorway: Shame I have to cycle home in it, it's bloomin' freezing out there!

Figured this is one of those threads that needs to be on every forum... And I couldn't find one in Off Topic, so I figured why not :) Anyhow, currently I'm sitting at my desk fiddling with drivers and laptops, listening to Emiliana Torrini. just moved onto her older album "Love in the time of...

I read over on TFF that tesco are currently selling 10kg bags of play sand for 98p! I've not confirmed this myself but I'm gonna check my local out tomorrow if I can. I fancy mixing my own mixed gradient sand for my next re-scape so might come in handy :)

My sister has been singing in many forms for a long time. She's just getting going with her neighbour in a blues duet, with her on vocals. First time I'd heard them tonight and I was most impressed :) Naturally I know she can sing. I mean, she teaches it! But I really like this new...

Heading off to Wales for a few days tomorrow. Staying with a few friends in a static caravan in the middle of nowhere, next to a river apparently (*please don't flood!*) I'm taking my camera so fingers crossed they'll be lots of photo ops :) Anyhow, back Monday night!

blah blah blah... Move along.. nothing to see here...

I didn't see this when it was first done, but No. 10 have responded :lol: http://www.number10.gov.uk/Page16590 Fair play to them for having a sense of humour...

Anyone seen the dodgy teaser trailer for Tron 2 yet? Oh my god. It looks to be awesome! I'm a big fan of the original. A true geek fest :) The trailer was shown at ComicCon and someone got a dodgy video of it. Check it out here if you're interested :) http://tron-2-trailer.blogspot.com/

I'm nearly packed. Got some last stuff to do, and then have a tidy up around the flat, and finally go around doing some tank maintenance before I go to bed! Tomorrow I'm off to Le Mans for the 24h race. I'm going with a bunch of mates for a stag do! It'll be interesting as the groom doesn't...

Just got mine this morning. Some stunning photos in the catalogue! Nature aquarium gallery 3 is amazing, but I think Gallery 4 is perhaps my favourite. This is the sort of thing I'd like to setup in my 4ft when I get it sorted out... Similar to the TGM long tank too. Anyone else got a...

Just noticed on the TFF birthday's list its Dave Spencer's birthday today, so thought I'd say Happy Birthday!! Hope you have a good'un :)

Sorry mods is this is not an acceptable post. Please remove it if you feel it necessary! I just want to pass on this info incase anyone is wanting some denisoni barbs but is put of by the astronomical price they command at the moment! Anyhow, I was in Maidenhead Aquatics, Harlestone Heath in...

As per the title, some people are a little optimistic when it comes to selling things on ebay... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/JOBLOT-20-POND-SN ... dZViewItem Made me chuckle :)

Just snarfed what I hope is a bit of a bargain on ebay. I just bought an Aqua Medic CO2 regulator "New" for £30 plus p&p. I think it must of been a 10 day auction as it had 9 days 6 hours to go. I think the term I'm looking for here is "Yoink!" Apparently its never been used, just in...

Just got sent this at work by a colleague. You couldn't make up a better name! :lol: Taken from this website...

Someone yesterday jokingly said "we should start a thread to add up total distances travelled by UKAPS members to get to TGM". So here it is :p I travelled about 105 miles, including catching a train at 7.30am to Birmingham New Street (about 20 miles) and then being picked up by Ulster and...
