Anyone know what the Vogon's ship looks like?

Yeah I would buy some too. A lot of effort to make I imagine :roll:

:-?

It may be too late for hand reared cockatiels. You may need to wait until next Nov or so. Perhaps they breed cockatiels all year round but they don't do so with conures. We have been looking

Your tank is looking good 8) .

Good news indeed.

Not so small that he might eat them?

Is he slowing down as the temperature drops? My goldfish aren't too interested in food now.

Remove the impellor and check nothing is stuck in there (only takes a minute bit of grit) then reassemble. Are you sure it is not trapped air bubbles? Give the tank a shake and see if that helps.

I would just keep up the clean routine and the tail will regrow without meds being added.

Yep, we have converted another to the wonderful hobby of fish keeping! :bounce: It was good to meet you Dan and welcome to the forums.

Oh no LA! Sorry to hear that

Easily fixed Some plastics can be toxic and you have to be carefully what you add. Some plastics can cause problems.

Sorry, I have no idea. Ring your nearest fibreglass place and ask them. :-?

So, who is writing the article about the day (where you went and what you saw, who won etc) and sending photos?

I will be interested to see how long those plants last

I don't think the polythene will be "leeching". More likely there is a hole somewhere or perhaps water splashed over the top of the lining if it isn't high enough (or rain?). I can't see why fibreglass wouldn't work. It would be safe enough since they make fish ponds out of it.

We had our AGM today. Officials remain the same but zev please note we meet on the 4th Sunday, not the 3rd. It needs correcting.

We had a delicious AGM and a long chat about conference and fish :bounce: Plus we played around with a pH test and found my tanks are all pretty much neutral in that department and the pond is around 7.6 - 7.8.

Quick question... If 2 of our members come down in their camper (a small 2 person one), does anyone have a yard for them to park it in over conference weekend?

Congratulations to all concerned!

Try this, copied from a Sony manual we have here for a CDX-C6800X but might be the same, or similar; This unit is operated by selecting items from a menu. To select, first enter the menu code and choose up/down (+)/(-) of DISC/PRST or choose left/right (-)/(+) of SEEK/AMS The clock uses 12 hr digital indication. Example; To set the clock to 10.08 Press MENU then press either side of DISC/PRST repeatedly until "CLOCK" appears Press ENTER and the hour indication flashes Press either side of DISC/PRST to set the hour Press the (+) side of SEEK/AMS. The minute indication flashes. Press either side of DISC/PRST to set the minute Press ENTER The clock starts. After the clock setting is completed, the display returns to normal play mode.

I have a Sony DSC-F828 which is now 6 years old. I aim, wait for the "beep beep" that tells me it has focussed on something, then I push the button. I do this hundreds of times and sometimes I get 1 or 2 good photos out of it 8) To photograph the fish and tanks, do it at night with all the curtains pulled to stop reflections. Have as much lighting on the tank as possible (and I turn off the main room lights) and the shutter speed as fast as possible (so I have been told but I don't know how to change it). I have tried reading the instruction manual but it appears to be in Greek and it uses lots of terms I do not understand. It helps to have the camera on a tripod, or box, to keep it steady. If you use the flash, aim at a slight angle to avoid the flash reflecting off the glass. I have a separate flash I can attach (more powerful than the one built in) which helps. However you do it, prepare to get lots of useless photos and only a few goodies :roll:

Sorry to hear that Barrie.
