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

I had a 6 line before in my smaller tank to control flat worm but after he done that he started to become overly aggressive towards my clowns in that tank.
Also have a mandarin in the m90 which after a few months will move to the bigger tank as I would like to get her a partner as they look great swimming together. Lost a male as the m90 couldn't support enough copepods to feed him and her, but the lads in SH taught he way have had a worm as he was eating frozen and hunting all the time but couldn't put on weight.

Do you really need that sock holder though???just thinking maybe you could pull the sock up around them and then use something like a cable tie or a little velco strap and secure the sock in place by tieing the pipe to the little pull thingy on the top of the sock.

Good man Chris was looking for an alternative and il have to try this, velcro strap would probably be the handiestI see what you mean...it's fairly tight around those drains.....
