What has UKAPS done for you?

[aliclarke86]

Given me somewhere I can come and hang out it feels like and stopped the huffing and puffing from the Mrs as I don't go on and on at her about my tanks anymore I think she enjoys them a lot more now.

Also what fish fodder said

Even my Mrs knows about it now. "The Forum" lol.

Plus it's a good lie for when I buy new plants.

"You been buying more plants?"
"Course not darling, lads off the forum have sent me some again"

Thought I'd revive this old thread. Ten years on, it'd be interesting to discover if folk still find the forum as useful as they once did, or perhaps even more useful. Or if it's a good place to just hang out, for instance.

UKAPS has connected me to other hobbyist. I don’t know of anyone on a personal level that keeps fish or aquariums. So it’s been a pleasure to interact on here.

I first joined UKAPS when it formed (if I remember correctly it started from a subsection in the TFF forum) but during my fishkeeping hiatus I lost my old login details (I think I used to be MissCaretaker) so started a new profile. Simply because UKAPS is as valuable to me now as it was when I first joined. I haven't found a single place more useful and welcoming than here.

This too I don't know anyone personally who even keeps fish, never mind planted tanks.

The aqueduct?
And the sanitation.
And the roads!

We are United Kingdom Aquatic Plant Society, not to be confused with Aquatic Plant Society of United Kingdom which we hate more than Romans. Splitters! And Society of United Kingdom's Aquatic Plants! Splitters!!!

Hi all,

A form of therapy for me, and shelter from the storm at times.

Cheers Darrel

UKAPS has given me my 'go to' convivial place for trying to understand the hobby of course! It also helps me understand myself, whether I'm a 'reductionist' trying to reconstruct an aquatic universe from the basic elements, or a low-fi aquatic 'gardener' marvelling with patience at the simple and often inexplicable wonder of it all.
