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

McQuaid, Im not sure now but I believe its called reef rock - I got them from Aquatic Village in Brittas there was 4e for 1kg. This rocks will bring you PH up in the tank.
Gonefishy , actually in main tank, I was changing everything so I remove all water, fish, gravel etc, but week ago I was changing gravel in breeding tank(80l) and I use hose, the fish was still inside it's same like you changing water every week, just use hose it will pick up all gravel nicely
About all dirt in gravel/sand Im changing every week around 20% of water in my tank, so mostly I picking up all dirt, also circulation of my filter doing good job. So there is not much to pick up right now, especially when my fish are kind of diggers , so when they digging in sand they moving all dirt to the filter side.

Pit , I like it previous as well just I found out that tank was too much overstocked… 40kg of rocks , 20kg of sand and 20 cichlids inside… its only 180l tank so I didn’t like it the idea about overstocking to reduce aggression. I can easily say that 180l tank is not big enough for 6 aulonocara what I have it…
That’s why I changed everything and let go mostly of my Africans…since this fish since to be much happier to have more space in tank. I hope I will move out shortly and can start thinking about 400-500 liter tank oo yeah

I love these recordings of tank evolution. Tell myself to do it too but it's easy to be lazy and forget.
Keep them coming!
