Tried the sponge a few times and got a cracking finish then tried it on a ceiling and it looked like **** so went back to the trowel and bottle. Would love to be able to do it.

Maybe if you tried using it on the actual ceiling instead of on your body parts

Ah right.

We moving house in a few weeks, and was thinking of having a tank made to fit into an alcove.I was going to have a tank built in where you have the tank in one room and you see the front on the other side....wife wouldn't have it though haha.

Been interested in keeping fish for years, but never got round to it.I even used to buy practical fishkeeping magazine,and read up on keeping marines.A lot of money and effort.
 
marine is a lot of work and money, my advice if you want to keep some and its the first time go tropical its not too much work and you can still get some nice looking fish, marine can get very expensive aswell the levels are alot more touchy than tropical, once youve cycled your tank properly its plain sailing
 
Why on earth would anyone want smelly fish in their house
:huh:

:RpS_unsure:

:RpS_scared:

:rolleyes)

Yeah going to keep it simple.

I do like the natural looking tanks, and non of them stupid divers and pirates chest you seen in some tanks...(hope you aint got one hahaha)

I remember seeing a setpup where the guy made his tank look like the mangoves .He even had a part of the branches coming out of the top if the tank.

Bit like this,

like fark i have haha would never ride a bike you just asking for an early death.
that tank setup looks cool and no i dnt have any of the cheesey stuff just got a few lava rocks logs plants slate and assorted stones and a barnacle reef, oh and sand for the substrate.
when you move do it try and get the biggest tank you can afford and fit in aswell though as this will give you the best varriant of fish to keep and its also easier to create and maintain the mini enviroment you are creating for the fish, the more water you have the less chance of a small mistake killing your fish
