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
Time for a trim?!

Thanks dude, that tank is empty at the min. Planning a rescape over the next few weeks.
Stephen
Can't wait to see the rescape Stephen. What type of power head were you using in the tank that is now empty? Even though I have two externals at work on my 375l tank (e901 and e1501) I don't think the co2 is being distributed effectively throughout my tank - I've been thinking of adding some sort of power head to help with this and wondering what make and model people would recommend? Thanks....
Your last set up was awesome btw!

Thanks, its a Hydor Koralia which did the job very well. You could try an inline co2 diffuser to save ya putting more stuff in your tank. It goes on your out flow from one of your filters. Im going to try one on the new scape.
