Agreed! Its a great snap but from the stocking I would think that this photo was taken at a Koi farm. Maybe I'm wrong but it would be hard to imagine an enthusiast would be able to afford to keep this number of fish. If I'm wrong I would love an invitation to visit.

I assumed that the photo competion was based on photos of applicants fish in their own tanks or ponds,anybody shed some light on the subject??? answers on a postcard

congratulations denis its a great picture. i am trying out all the tips you gave at the meeting the other night so I hope to give you a run for your money in the near future.

not 100% but i dont think it matters if its your fish or your mates fish...once you took the pic.
its a photo comp its not a lovely fish comp

Sorry Lampey,invalid reply,wasnt written on a postcard still in my opionion i think it should be from our own tanks,own stock,could have taken a photo off the web and submitted one myself in that case

In My Opinion you should be allowed to post any picture of a fish whether they are yours or not. I agree with you Nomad that people could indeed just take a photo from the Internet but then they are fooling nobody but themselves and if they are caught I could only imagine that they would be excommunicated fairly sharpish.

Thanks for the comment Nessa and I look forward to seeing your pictures. As for the competition! I've run out of fish to photograph so no more fish snaps from me! By the way, who owns the planted tank, Pic 17?

I have Co2 system with ph controller and mototised valve. Cylinder 7,2 kg is working with two mixsers and keeping ph about 6,5.

Filtration is a little complicated but after second look easy. Tetra tec 1200 is mechanical as support I have 4 smaller filters two inside and two outside. Sump is the best and working with pomp from heating - Grundfos so I get circulation about 2000 liters per hours and can using overflow as filtration. I added 4 another filters to get extremely clean water

Lights Hagen Power-Glo Sun-Glo anh Life-Glo and halogen are controlled by 6 timers for morning midday and evening.
At moment it's not to bad

Slavik Dublin
