Sophia Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 this one was odd for me. Usually I cut the side of my thumb or forefinger. Once I stabbed myself in the fleshy part of palm/thumb muscle with secateurs :sick: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Got a call from one of the rest homes today. They have brought a fish tank and some fish and were looking for someone to tell them how to keep fish correctly. They have bought a 200L and so far stocked it with a mix of real (one of which isn't aquatic, despite being purchased from a lfs) and plastic plants, a clown loach, 8 guppies, a golden algae eater and 2 gouramis (which turned out to be Boesemanis). They eventually want angels but will now wait for the tank to cycle (a process they knew nothing about but do now and understand the idea). The residents are all very pleased with it and apparently several of them have kept fish in the past and were keen to have some to look at.

SamH Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Great work Caryl! :thup: I got some pool filter sand today, it's fine and light, I like it. Here's a few photos compared to the standard 6mm Autumn Harvest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godly3vil Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Once you use sand you won't want to go back to gravel/fluorite ever again lol. Makes planting so much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Sand is great! Well done Caryl :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Once you use sand you won't want to go back to gravel/fluorite ever again lol. Makes planting so much easier. I've been between gravel, sand and planted stuff. I've come to the conclusion that something finer than 3mm with a nice rich base under it is the best combo. Although annoying for rescaping... :digH: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insectile Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Richmond at the mo, gonna be working on the new store all next week. Will be alternating between stores though, just depends who needs me I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Nice, when does the new store open? Is there going to be a bigger emphasis on fish in the new store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insectile Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Don't think its gonna be anytime soon tbh, maybe 1-2 months. I got told today that there is gonna be 12 rows of tanks in the new store, compared to the three at the richmond store, so yeah more emphasis on fish. Also I get a say when it comes to ordering time so hopefully we will be getting some good fish in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophia Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I think you have the order around the wrong way. Let me illustrate the correct order of priorities: 1 Girlfriend 2 Petrol to go and see girlfriend/take her places 3 Girlfriend 4 PC so you can email girlfriend and order her presents online 5 Girlfriend 6 Girlfriend 7 Girlfriend Girlfriend Girlfriend Girlfriend Girlfriend Girlfriend etc Best to learn now while you are still young enough to care haha.
