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.

Quote from: Wildfisher on Today at 03:41:18 PMMan the Aponogeton natans bulbs don't hang around do they? 

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.

Sarclet used to be worth a day, but I have not fished it for years.

Quote from: Jon on Yesterday at 06:11:06 PMDid you buy a bottle of Colony?

Yeah, the Fluval equivalent, added over 3 days. Last day is tomorrow. I'll test the tank water in a few days to make sure the rocks, wood and substrate have not altered anything. If all is OK I might add a shoal of dither fish to kick things off, probably a dozen Neons.

Good numbers for what you want. It's great that your NO3 reading is 0.
