eSHa 2000 and eSHa Exit.

These are easily the best white spot and bacterial meds available to Joe Public. And they'll cover the most common ailments.

But as I alluded too in another post, keep the tank clean and you should avoid bacterial and fungal issues. :)

A few from last night. The Willets bourbon was easily my favourite.

I've tried the blend Campbeltown Loch before at a Springbank tasting and thought it was good then. Though last night I was less impressed.

The cask strength Glendronach definitely needed a drop of water. It's a bit harsh bear.

The 17 year old Arran lacked complexity. I was pretty disappointed with that to be honest.

We ended up with a couple of bottle kills. And the Michters Rye remains unopened. Until next time.

Attractive, affordable, easy to keep and readily available. That's why they're a hobby staple.

If you like them then go for them. :)

Aquariums & Fish Keeping / Bronze Corydoras

Was thinking half a dozen bronze corys might be the best place to start. Seems they are more tolerant of the higher temps the Rams need. I also quite like them and they are easy to obtain.

What do you reckon?

It's amazing the bounty Storms Arwen brought to tank decorators in this area.  ;D  ;D

Quote from: arawa on May 10, 2024, 06:49:08 PMThanks. Quite a few items were "out of stock" here too but I grabbed a bottle of the Elija Craig 12-year old. I like the Mitchers too and have a bottle of the Sour Mash on the go at the moment.

There is. And on the flipside there's stuff that isn't listed on the website. So if you're looking for anything in particular give them a call or drop them a message on FB. :)

Quote from: Jon on May 10, 2024, 05:57:09 PMErrrrr, honestly there's a decent selection of bourbon in the UK. Infact some bottles can be easier here to obtain than in some US states believe it or not.

We buy a lot from this place. I'll be taking a bottle of Michter's Rye with me tonight from there.

Trawl through the page and you'll find a lot of good stuff. The owners James and Frankie really know their stuff and will ship at sensible prices too.

Quote from: SoldierPmr on May 10, 2024, 01:41:29 PMIt's a shame we don't get much a selection of bourbons over here. It seems the yanks keep the best for them selves. With such a big internal market they have no need to sell them abroad. I often use wild turkey 101 as my cocktail whisky I think it's pretty good value for money.
