Retirement and forum shutdown (17 Jan 2022)
Hi,
John Howell who has managed the forum for years is getting on and wishes to retire from the role of managing it.
Over the years, he has managed the forum through good days and bad days and he has always been fair.
He has managed to bring his passion for fish keeping to the forum and keep it going for so long.
I wish to thank John for his hard work in keeping the forum going.
With John wishing to "retire" from the role of managing the forum and the forum receiving very little traffic, I think we must agree that forum has come to a natural conclusion and it's time to put it to rest.
I am proposing that the forum be made read-only from March 2022 onwards and that no new users or content be created. The website is still registered for several more years, so the content will still be accessible but no new topics or replies will be allowed.
If there is interest from the ITFS or other fish keeping clubs, we may redirect traffic to them or to a Facebook group but will not actively manage it.
I'd like to thank everyone over the years who helped with forum, posted a reply, started a new topic, ask a question and helped a newbie in fish keeping. And thank you to the sponsors who helped us along the away. Hopefully it made the hobby stronger.
I'd especially like to thank John Howell and Valerie Rousseau for all of their contributions, without them the forum would have never been has successful.
Thank you
Darragh Sherwin

The voting will continue until Monday, April 4 at midnight.
Just a small reminder that no-one can vote for his/her own entry, but that's about the only relevant rule.
But...PLEASE DO VOTE, it doesn't take vvery much time or effort and the more votes received helps to obtain a more representative poll a reality, rather than just a hoped-for result.
Right, here we go:

#20 so congratulations go to Sukahn
Second is #3 from Homer
Third place goes to #21, again from Sukahn:
but since it's only one prize awarded to each entrant Third prize drops to the Fourth-placed picture:
#8 submitted by Q_Comets.
Fifth position is shared by two entries, #18
& #25.
Seventh is #7, Eighth (again a tie) #10 & #17 and, bringing up the rear, is #15 & #22 in joint tenth place.
Well done to the winners and many many thanks to all who took the time and effort o
to both enter and cast votes.
I'll leave it to the three prizewinners to discuss among themselves who would like which of the prizes offered for this month's round (in chronological order) - The little hang-on filter from myself, the Almond leaves from Ger and the water containers from Homer.
Watch out for the April Round starting shortly - some worthwhile prizes on offer again for this month.

I really only entered for the fun of it and to add a few Marine pictures to the mix but thank you to everyone who voted for my pics. (two in the top 3 makes me so happy lol)
Ive messaged Robert about the wave-maker to see its size in case i could use it , other than that i will probably go for the water barrels lol, since i only have marine hehe.
Well done to everyone and looking forward to the next round

Where the tongue slips, it speaks the truth.
A life making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing at all.
