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

Were the leaks in the radiators on the actual radiator surface or the pipe joints? if it was the surface, the only option is to replace I am afraid
the radiator weld is available here in most motor factors but is only a temporary solution. The problem is rust in the radiators and the chances of another leak are very high.I am not a plumber but have helped out plenty of people with this problem, in some cases I have seen, its only the paint that is keeping the radiator together
Best option is to replace the leaking radiators and put some rust inhibitor into the system. You can get the rust inhibitor in any plumbing suppliers; it comes with a large syringe to inject it into a radiator. So before filling the new radiators, simply remove the bleed valve from one of them and add the rust inhibitor through the bleed valve, of course you need to remember to replace the bleed valve afterwards
Cheers,
Bill.
