Tank is nice and clear now. I'm resisting the urge to add more plants as the current crop will grow!

I'll do another water test tomorrow and if OK add a few dither fish!

As far as the Corys go I think I'll get 1/2 dozen Sterbai if I can get them locally.

What's going in there?

Was Angels because it is a tall tank, then I thought Kribensis, then I saw a breeding pair of Mbuna in the pet shop. I still think Kribs though I bred them years ago so have a soft spot for them.

Looking good Sandy, nice rocks too.

What's going in there?

Got it up and running.

Thanks for that.
Looking forward to it,hopefully mayfly will be about on some of the lochs.
Have finally given up on camping and got us a cottage, must be getting auld and soft...mind you unless you're wild camping accommodation wasn't much more than site fees.

Told you.

The bulbs look really crappy. But in no time at all they make decent looking plants.

I've had Aponogeton ulvaceous and Aponogeton boivinianus grow between 7" and 12" a day, believe it or not. But those bulbs are huge by comparison.

It's remarkable you can almost watch them growing. 

I'm sure when I had them it was about an inch a day until they reached the surface.

Man the Aponogeton natans bulbs don't hang around do they? 

Sarclet can be dour but worth a turn out especially if you have a float tube. Also Hempriggs, often no-one there but plenty trout up to a pound and a half. Dunnet Head lochs worthwhile.
