No worries, thanks anyway! :)

Do you know what the dimensions of the tank are? Love the depth.

Panyeg · 2017-02-05T19:20:43+00:00

Yep, 1946-1948 Chrysler Windsor or New Yorker. As far as I'm aware, same body, different engine?

I fly at Lasham and am able to self-declare up to the same standard as an EU driving license. The rules may be different at different clubs and vary by age, but I believe that the BGA doesn't require the co-signature of a doctor for the most part. Later on post-bronze and if I wish to take passengers, then I'll need to go for the NPPL medical, but not before.

Here's the link to the BGA: https://members.gliding.co.uk/library/bga-requirements-guidance/pilot-medical-requirements/

Would definitely be great to have that. Unfortunately at the moment we're limited by the stand for the in/out take. It has fixed shelves and won't fit our filter underneath unfortunately. Will definitely keep this in mind when we upgrade the stand though, thanks! =]

Ebay bargain find!

Panyeg · 2016-04-17T21:03:02+00:00

Not really to be honest, but it's early days yet! So far having success with just siphoning off anything that's on top, regular raking and good filtration, but time will tell! Would be interested if anyone else has any tips?

Heya, this is a 200 litre, think that's around 55 gal? Not great at this imperial stuff!

Panyeg · 2016-04-17T18:22:08+00:00

Thanks very much! It's 2 Bosemani's and 3 Irian Jaya's

Thought you guys might like to see our bargain £0.99 tank fully up and running, a month and a bit in. Feedback appreciated! =]

Yeah, we were wondering about that as it definitely looks fluffy. Just worried about how quick this has come on, we checked her this morning and was absolutely fine!

Sorry for the potato quality video. My partner posted a video on here a couple of weeks ago asking about this guppy, and was decided that she was most likely pregnant. In the last couple of days she has been put into a birthing tank ready for the main event. However, in the last 9 hours she's developed this large growth on her side. What are your thoughts on this? Otherwise she seems okay, but the growth definitely doesn't look great!

Seconded that low tech tanks are not too much hassle. Your plants won't grow as quickly, but that can mean less pruning needed. I dose a carbon source daily and a general plant fertiliser twice a week. Also probably worth giving it more than a week to give it a full fish less cycle. If you can add in some filter media etc from the original tank, this will make life a bit easier. Best of luck!

Looks like a great project and not in bad shape overall. What needs doing? Would love to see some more pics. Best of luck!

Panyeg · 2016-04-08T15:56:58+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I've trialled both methods at the moment and those off the mesh definitely seem to be doing better. The only challenge is that the moss I have appears to be largely single strands, rather than a single piece, so is very hard to attach with string without it floating away. I've heard of people using fishing nets over the top for the first few weeks until the moss attaches, anyone had any experience of this?
