Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
On our way home at the weekend, we popped into Aquajardin near Gloucester to get some plants for my new tank. they didn’t quite have what we wanted so we came away with less than expected. Just one little pot of 1-2- Grow Eleocharis sp. mini and 1 pot of 1-2-Grow Staurogyne repens, along with...
It has begun, today has been spent starting to get the new aquarium set up ready for my first forays into the world of the aquascape. First was the building of the cabinet, followed by positioning of the tank and getting things in place. Tank Specs. Tank: Aquatlantis Fusion 102cm x 40cm x 60xm, 188 litres...
The presence of a blank canvas thanks to my new Aquatlantis tank encouraged me to search the web for ideas on aquarium design which is when I came across the amazing world of aqua-scaping. The landscape style designs have astounded me and I’d love to build something along these lines, but don’t think I quite have...
It seems to have been a week or so of re-locating ‘pets’. Last weekend it was relocating the beehives, this weekend, following on from the fish-tank leak it was time to re-locate the aquarium. Now or Never The latest news on the escalation of jobs associated with the fish-tank leak is that the new Aquatlantis Fusion 101...
I noticed the other day that the water level in our fishtank was getting lower, after a quick investigation it was clear that it was leaking. There was water down the side of the tank, the wood supporting the tank was discoloured and damp and there were little pools of water on the things below...
The fish tank resurrection continues. One of the reasons for going to Bristol for the weekend was to visit our favourite aquarium shop, Aquajardin just outside of Gloucester. We hadn’t been here for years but as it was Mother’s Day we went along with my Mum and Dad for a wander around the adjacent Blooms...
The plants I ordered for the fish tank arrived yesterday. Rather than pick individual plants I decided to just buy a plant collection specifically for a 36″ tank from Java-Plants. Not only was this a lot cheaper but it was easier too and would give us a good start. The plants all arrived in good...
I worked out over the weekend that the plants I have ordered for the fish tank won’t arrive until later this week, so impatient as ever Morgan and I wanted to put something in the tank. I’d normally leave a new tank for a couple of weeks to settle in and get the filter primed, but...
As you know from my recent post about resurrecting the fish tank, I like to do things a little differently. Rather than bubble air through the tank to aerate the water for the fish, I bubble carbon dioxide through the tank which promotes really lush plant growth and the plants in turn filter and aerate the water...
