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

Should I move to topic?
Actually it might well be better moved there so I'll do that for you. But this can also left here to (hopefully) direct anyone (who might also be interested) to the 'Member Profile' section for further reading and posts.

I'm keeping a planted amazon themed tank with rummy nose tetras red pencil tatras and some penguin tetras.
A breeding pair of Peruvian angelfish
Red lizard whiptail pleco
Zebra pleco
And some Cory's
And I just cleaned out the endler tank and have a breeding tank cycling with a sponge filter at the moment.
Regards
Craig

There is the link to my latest YouTube video of the tank
Took some plants out on the left side
And put in some more wood and stones looks a bit more natural I think.

I'm trying to get my plants to grow, using few liquid ferts...mines nearly 2 months old
if you are trying to get plants to grow maybe take out the duckweed it shuts out light coming through to the plants.
tank is looking well
