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

Eheim....second division air-pumps that lack power and will become noisy.
no way man , super pumps with NO noise
we can beg to differ
There is one thing is their favour....and that one thing does make them a good pump in the end......they endure, and will keep a good flow even with age. They are also good at giving a nice flow rate even at varying depths of water.
I put them in the second division as they do not compete with piston pumps (or my Sera pump
)Whereas some makes of pump are great when new, but once they start experiencing that slighlty clogged air-stone they start to go down hill very quickly. Not only that, once the depth of water starts to increase some pumps give up very quickly. They are in pub-lunch-break soccer league.
Actually, brand-wars is quite cool. Some brands used to be product leaders, but have gone hill quite a bit....yet still hang on to the fact of their lead in the 70s (sorry Tetra.....you're losing out)

These were the pumps I remember well. Never failed, and not noise.
