I told my 5 year old about the competition and he wants to enter his 45L nano we are currently setting up, so any cuttings would be appreciated - hes already stolen some of my plants and wants to steal the 3" B/N....

Jimbooo Welcome! And i love your use of tiger lotus, really nicely done.

Hi all
Great to see a UK Aquatic Plant Society and being so closely linked with the barr
report can only enhance the forum. My name is Keith, I,m from East Lothian in Scotland. Still quite new to planted tanks but have set myself up a 5x2x2 not exactly aquascaped by some off the examples you see on the net more thrown together but I am very happy with the way it is coming on which is the main thing.

Hello,

Hi

i'm Simon, father of two extraordinary boys and owner of a 180 litre planted tank, and a 60 litre tank. I'm new to the planted tank game, but have managed to get a nice set of plants and fish going and am learning loads. I'm relativly new and only have been fish keeping for 1 year. But really am enjoying the mix of nature and chemistry!

In regard to previous posters... no I'm not blonde! However, I'm even better... I'm an Ulsterman! To be precise a lost Ulsterman, as I'm living outside Liverpool!!!

Anyways, I look forward to this new adventure with glee

C yas all around

HI everyone my names John Starkey i live in worcester worcestershire some of you may have seen my name in TFF , I am 52 yrs young married i did have two sons my youngest Ben died last feb 06 aged 18 from cancer, and my oldest son is lee aged 22, i have just returned to the hobby after a long lay off and with the help of you experts am hoping to set up a high tech planted tank , i am just about to retire from job so i will have plenty of time for the hobby.With the birth of UK AQUATIC PLANT SOCIETY finally taking place shows just how the planted side of things have moved in the uk recently and with people like George Farmer, and Tom Barr to guide us i think we have some exiting times ahead and i look forward to meeting some of you guys and gals at house meets (especially the food ), So lastly i would like to say a big THANK YOU to TOM BARR AND GEORGE FARMER for making this happen, (sorry if ive missed any one), happy planting john.

Hi all, I'm Chrisi, a 29yr old living in Birmingham, West Midlands (lost like MaximumBob - not blonde but I too suffer from many, many blonde moments ). Married with 2 dogs and a few fish.

I have a 185l tank and a 28l tank - still a newbie to keeping fish and plants, but I enjoy learning about it all, even if I don't understand the half of it

I'm looking forward to learning from you all - maybe I can (eventually) give a bit back too

Should point out that I go by the username Kilultagh on TFF and AE.

Yo Everyone... I'm Corin, 14, and I live in Kent... I'm pretty new to this site and I want to take a more active role on this forum in the near future! I have two tanks that are currently setup (though only my 25 litre Nano is heavily planted...) I am currently in the middle of setting up my Juwel 70 as a mid-tech planted tank (which will include ferns, mosses and various Crypt species...)

I'm a member of TFF and AE, (but I rarely post on the latter...) I've been keeping fish (and aquatic plants) for the around 3 years now (though I have only just started keeping plants seriously...)

I'm very in to the whole aspect of fishkeeping and have to always find ways of paying for the upkeep of my aquariums (all the equipment, decor, etc...) I subscribe to PFK and love New World Cichlids (preferably Dwarf Cichlids...)

Anyways,

CJ... (Corin)
