I want to set up my own store here in Northern Ireland over the next year but it's going to be hard work getting contacts for stock etc, so if anyone knows people in the know, Im all ears 🙂
i stock aquafluer plants @ maidenhead aquatcics @ Bracknell and looking to make the plants better this year and more selection . seen a lot of nice tanks on here and going to be moving one of the tanks around at work and aquascaping it again. best time to come for are plants is thursday on wards as we get ares delivered wednesday afternoon
um some weeks there all gone in a week (sold) but some there can be there for couple of weeks. both the pots and bunches seem to be doing alot better in these new tanks . potted side has massive external filter on it and both got a heater in them to keep the heat up at 25 - 26 . i some times give them some liquid co2 and 20% water changes . potted plants also has a few fish in it some loach, shrimp , rainbows and panchex loach seem to be eating all the snails that come in lol .How long do the plants last in your selling tanks, do you supply nutrients and Co2 when they are in there. Do potted plants last longer than stems in bunches when in these tanks?
I went to The Aquatic Design Centre last night for the first time based on recommendation from UKAPS, very nice shop indeed and nice and central with opening hours til 8pm mon-thurs.
And I wish I had never seen the ADA rimless tanks 🙁
Cheers guys for the great forum btw
I visit here quite regularly.Paddock farm have a decent selection of tropica plants, ferts and substrates along with other brands like TMC and easylife. They also have quite a bit of redmoor and have a few planted display tanks. They stock mother plants too which is a rarity.
My local shop since I started the hobby, was buying Tropica plants even before I knew what it meant to have a Tropica plant, only found that out after joining UKAPS 😉Adc is unreal!!
Shame!! its just a quick detour on my way home from work 😉Wish I didn't have to pay a 22.50 travel card before going there. I can only really attend when I'm working local
Ahhh mate!! Well it's good for my wallet I guess I don't live too close I guess. It makes it all the better when I work local to treat myself to a little purchase.Shame!! its just a quick detour on my way home from work 😉
