Tom's Bucket O' Mud - The End

[Reuben]

It was a brilliant tank and accompanying journal! An inspiration to those of us interested in these things!

 

[DrRob]

Truly the end of an era. You, and your tank, have been an inspiration, and I thank you. Looking forward to what you can come up with next.

I'm about to have a large medicinal Laphroaig 😛

The new project will start in a couple of months, I'm still ironing out the details but lots of people will recognise the glass box!

In the midst of trauma, some continuity is reassuring 🙂.

So you taking over Alistair's big tank so he can go even bigger?

I'm not sure I'm that much of a masochist. But yeah, Alastair is incredibly kindly donating the old 4x4 and some other things to the next project.

Best of luck on the house move. This will be a classic for many years,

Epic journey to follow from start to finish, lost count of the times I've read and re read this journal, thinking one day I'll have my own slice of nature just like this, legend

 

[Andy D]

Sad to see it go but also exciting to see what you do next.

Hope the move goes as planned and I will be eagerly awaiting the next chapter! 🙂

 

[Alastair]

Can only repeat what's already been said mate. This tank has been an inspiration for many, myself included and was my reason for dropping the co2 etc and going shallow with above and below. I remember watching this from the beginning.

I will still find myself coming back to this and having a re read time and time again.

I think many will agree that it's not people on here you should be thanking...... More people on here thanking you.

Onwards and upwards mate. Another super long journal to soon grace ukaps once again

😀

The last picture really is a bucket of mud. With mud it started and with mud it ended...up to a new bucket

Hi Tom, thanks for this journal... We will miss your bucket! So you are preparing kind of bucket lake. Sounds good! We'd love to learn from this tank from the very beginning. Don't forget to post every detail.

Had the pleasure of meeting the big man himself today and the 'Bucket O' Mud', well what's left of it.

Inspirational tank, inspirational chap.

Thanks for the plants,fish and camera chat man, hope the move goes well 🙂

Cant wait for the next 'bucket'

Hey Stenny, good to meet you earlier. Just got all that mud shifted, time for a cuppa...

Sure you don't mean a Laphroaig 🙂

 

[Pedro Rosa]

Tom, good luck for your new house and your new project. This one will be missed 🙁

 

[ADA]

Wow just read the whole thing and I was gutted when I got to the end page 🙁 looking forward to the next project tho.

Thanks very much for the heartfelt sendoff! Annoyingly imageshack seems to have broken most of my old image links since it went pay-to-use, I'll try and re-upload most of them when I get a minute.

Same happened to my chocolate puddle journal when I'd finished it Flickr did something and all links got broken.

Good luck trying.to re ad pics from the past 3 years ha

That woud be awesome, only came across this journal yesterday, and I've been trying to figure out where I could fit a tank like that in my own home ever since! It is/ was just simply amazing, and would love to see (all of) the pics!

It can be achieved on a smaller scale mate 🙂
