The Neverending Thread

My fish are spoilt rotten...

How many directions can this thread take? I too used to be a keeper of the aquarium. Find the best (and cheapest - possibly making it the best cos im scottish) thing for cleaning filters and other fish ornaments is to steep them in very hot water with a few sterilising tablets in them. Hope this post is a good public service.

Happy to help. Keep up the good work with the thread.

Very true, i was always a bit too clumsy and ended up knocking the ph off.

and vinegar goes well with cod....

Dont like fish but love sushi. Dont quite know how that works.

WAKEY WAKEY!!!!!!

Chatroom is vibrating with your snores 

Did anyone else get woken up by the violent thunderstorm at 0450 this morning?

30 minutes of absolute hell broke loose, heavy rain, hail, high winds, thunderbolts and fork lightning.

Thought the roof would be gone by the time I got up, but no, fortunately the roof remained intact...however....

80ft of the wall dividing the chalets from the sea plus the 6ft wide concrete walkway behind the wall has now fallen into the sea.  My section of the wall is still standing but is severely damaged and is likely to go within the next few days if this weather keeps up.

Rang the council who were as helpful as ever, despite the walkway being a listed public footpath, they have yet to arrive and fence it all off.  The grass area now has huge broken slabs of concrete and an 8ft drop at the end of it.

And we haven't even got into the real winter storms yet....looking very promising...not
