Hi from Orkney

Hi folks,

Thought I'd sign up and say hello. I've used the forum on multiple occasions for advice/tips etc. I've got just a single 150litre setup running at present which is my first foray into a heavily planted tank. Currently battling a blue/green cyanobacteria issue but other than that loving it!
Cheers,
Gareth

Hello and welcome to UKAPS. Cyano be difficult. What are you doing to get rid of it?

Hi all,
Welcome to UKAPS,
You may be our first member from Orkney, but not from the N. and W. Isles - <"Hello from the Outer Hebrides"> and <"Hello from Shetland">, so making it a full-house of islands.

cheers Darrel

Hello there! I found Malaysian Trumpet Snails have been brilliant at removing cyano bacteria, as they will plough through it, bury it etc.

Hi Cazza,
I'll have a look into those - thank you. It'll be a while before I make a stock order as I have to order everything in from South. I'll keep on plugging away and head scratching to try and resolve it till then. 🙂
