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

For a few months of the year, for an hour or two each day, I get the sun shining through a skylight on top of my tank.
I have to say it looks amazing to see the fish swimming around with the sun shining on them, especially Cardinal Tetras.
Pictures don't really do it justice. Just as I started snapping, the battery on the camera died. Will try and get some better photos, next time the Sun is out!

Yes, all live plants.
I've about 25 Cardinals, 25 Rummy Nose, 20 Endlers, 12 or so White tip tetras and 4 or 5 Corydoras.
Not 100% happy with the layout. I had plants put in anywhere really, but since I've started using CO2, the growth has been superb, so I need to rearrange it I think.
It's 450 litres.

Looks cool, just make sure it doesn't encourage any algae growth

The tank looks great! What lighting do you have? Most of those plants look low lighting
The echinodorus wont stop growing, mine is a bit over 1 meter high now!
