I thought exactly the same thing. You could film a convincing documentary in there. It makes such a refreshing change from the manicured and clipped ADA tanks.

Why no RO? I am always scared of rainwater except when it has rained a few days already. Or are you in such backwater now there is no pollution?😀
RO is a hassle to buy and expensive to make (we're on a water metre). I'm right down in the rural south west of the UK now - the prevailing winds come straight off the Atlantic and there's very little industry and no cities so it should be pretty safe I reckon.

Sky-high charges compared to the rest of the country. Over 200 pound higher than the national average. The price we unfortunately have to pay to provide clean beaches for the many millions of holiday makers.
On the plus side, it is incredibly soft and of outstanding quality.

The absolute swines!
It's been a while since I've tested from the mains, but I believe it's pretty stable a ph 7.5.
I've had great success keeping and rasing Discus straight from the tap using prime alone.

Our water is free!
It finally rained! Did a whacking great water change yesterday and the visibility is just about enough now to see some fish near the front. I threw together a very rough video last night... handheld footage taken in the evening and still no light on the tank so forgive me for not taking the time to edit it nicely. Just thought I'd show off the fish a bit.
SD only until vimeo finish encoding the HD in an hour or two.

Looking good! (is it an idea to tape a mirror to the other side of the window?)
You talented bar stool.
I must say. I like the symmetry of the head standing and the surface dwellers - pencils?
Lots of elegant motion and the big boy doing patrols.
Excellent.
And then the neons with that arresting flash of colour!
Too.
Damn.
Good.

Cheers Ed. Not sure it would make all that much difference, most of the light from the window is indirect and hopefully I'll get a light unit over the tank at some point anyway. Just need to add another 20 odd green neons then I'm stocked unless someone manages to import some Ammocryptocharax (Glaser currently have some but none of the LFS near me are keen to place an order).

Well worth the wait for the raindance to take effect.

That's fantastic. Huge credit to you Big Tom, if you didn't know the video was of an aquarium you just wouldn't guess. So natural looking and a real inspiration.
