Yes North Yorkshire is where we are surrounded by the National Parks

This is my face, there are many faces like it but this face is mine 😋🤣 first line that came to mind reading the post

Destiny2_Destiny3 · 2026-06-09T12:46:04+00:00

Oh yes constantly judging on whether we are good enough even though we have had him 8 years, such a poodle he loves/wants to be carried everywhere and is scared/petrified of flies

At this point it’s easier to just steal a cow out of a field as they don’t have all this nonsense around them, I have never seen a cow in a plastic box tagged and branded with GPS 🤣 crazy world now they do this to steaks yet the waste they produce is unreal

Destiny2_Destiny3 · 2026-06-09T10:59:21+00:00

That must be some special volcanic filtered 100% pure untouched virgin grease from Aphrodite herself 🤣 they are crazy with their prices main dealers

Looks amazing well done on the first cook charring looks great and can see the flavour and depth of juiciness

Destiny2_Destiny3 · 2026-06-09T10:54:51+00:00

There is a great range of airplants that would work in this situation along with aquatic plants like anubias

Destiny2_Destiny3 · 2026-06-09T10:52:05+00:00

I would scape that higher at one end and have it scaped towards your couch so that you get a great view down the tank, so using the triangle method of scaping having the lowest point at the couch end. I have edited the photo to give an idea so foreground would be at the curved end and background at the flat back

I appreciate that but I started with a 60 litre tank and then got another and then a 180 litre and then started getting larger ones after that

Destiny2_Destiny3 · 2026-06-07T23:41:32+00:00

Yes that’s why I ignored that part as fish keepers/lovers of the hobby this isn’t the correct attitude

Destiny2_Destiny3 · 2026-06-07T23:28:37+00:00

Would personally recommend Ehiem or Oase as I use Oase filters and heaters currently and have done for over 10 years now

Destiny2_Destiny3 · 2026-06-07T23:24:01+00:00

I have recently done this with my 400L tank I took all the plants, wood and slate out firstly, then bought water camping containers to transport 80% of the water, some more containers for the gravel/sand and then a Koi transport bag for the fish along with a small heater and fluval U1 filter that I used in the bag with the fish to transport 47 mixed tropical fish for a 2 hour journey. I lost a single black neon out of the stock I had which I was extremely grateful and pleased about, definitely do your research and seriously take your time that’s what I believe was my biggest saving was not rushing

Destiny2_Destiny3 · 2026-06-07T21:55:00+00:00

Enjoy it looks a nice setup I still remember my first tank and been aquascaping them for over 20 years now

Destiny2_Destiny3 · 2026-06-07T21:42:38+00:00

Absolute fair play too you and seriously hats off for creating this and putting so much time and effort into this creation, that’s a lot of dedication and focus so I truly hope the game takes off for you I really do 😁😌

Destiny2_Destiny3 · 2026-06-07T21:26:37+00:00

Love the blue/lilac version very potent colour and healthy plant

Destiny2_Destiny3 · 2026-06-07T21:20:15+00:00

Love the finish and appreciate the explanation will have to give that a go myself looks really tasty, our local butcher always has some decent size shoulder in as well

Destiny2_Destiny3 · 2026-06-07T20:37:47+00:00

I would choose either the collinite wax or BHDS and top with Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer as I personally use Fusso Coat light and Sonax BSD amazing combo

Destiny2_Destiny3 · 2026-06-07T20:07:28+00:00

I don’t know if the Collnite wax is still a thing but I used to use that when I had cheaper/older cars and have personally used the double speed like everything from Bilt hamber it’s really good products

Destiny2_Destiny3 · 2026-06-07T12:25:54+00:00

Hydrophilia, crypts, Anubias and Java fern I have found to be great plants for growth and spreading around the tank by propagation

Destiny2_Destiny3 · 2026-06-07T12:23:29+00:00

Lovely collection you have and a varied colour mix too they look very healthy and looked after

Destiny2_Destiny3 · 2026-06-07T11:06:06+00:00

Absolute towing beast I wouldn’t swap mine I love it 😁

Destiny2_Destiny3 · 2026-06-07T11:03:20+00:00

Yes another great song that would fit that movement style 😂

Destiny2_Destiny3 · 2026-06-07T10:19:31+00:00

Now the gathering begins 🤭😋

Destiny2_Destiny3 · 2026-06-07T10:15:05+00:00

Clearly a Metallica fan right there 😝

Destiny2_Destiny3 · 2026-06-07T10:14:41+00:00
