Haha, this just keeps getting better, I mean really, how many off us UKAPS members were there? 🙄
 
Haha yeah I guess so we are a tight net bunch even though we dont know each other lol
And it was my pleasure with the Fe glad I could help
 
Brilliant workshop and good to see you guys all again.

Left tank with just an Eheim skim on last night.
Massive water change today (70% followed by 30 min running water change), 2 X filters on with dual inline diffusers on this morning. Co2 about a million parts per million 🙂

Thanks for your help during the day Jay :thumbup: (and cheers for the Haribo 🙂)

Tim, I’ll remind Chris to join when I see him next and post a pic of his tank, it is pretty stunning!

Back in about 2008 i had the pleasure of hosting the first (or possibly second) UKAPS get together, it was a great couple of days with shop visits, scape talks, beer and what turned into a late night poker session! the following morning i had to make about 20 rounds of bacon sandwiches :joyful:

Maybe it is time to do something similar :thumbup:

Thanks for being the hosts with the most Steve 🙂
It'd be nice to see Chris on UKAPS and sharing the success he's had with his stunning scape 😉
It'd also be great to get updates of Filipe's scape as it matures...let's hope his fertz system works and you don't get RSI trimming it 😀

So it just turned in to a party lol
 
Also can't wait to see it grown in Filipe's tanks always age beautifully, he plans them well 🙂

Also, now I've seen it I can't unsee it... look at the front on shot of the tank... see the creepy arm reaching up?? 😱
 
Thanks for the great pics all!

It was the best day with a really lovely group of people including many from UKAPS which was great to see 🙂

Will be sure to post some updates as things progress - once those stems pop up at the back it will look amazing. Filipes fertilization system will be used on this tank - it works really well for him!
 
Just one more thank you to you @Jayefc1

Your help was greatly appreciated on the day mate. Think @Siege will agree that was the most rapid plant prep we’ve ever had to do because Filipe sets quite a pace with those pinsettes :lol:
