Glad to see most people I remember from a few months ago still about, it's been an eventful summer in one way and another,
On the fish front I had a bad couple of months loosing several of the established fish some of which I'd had for years all for different reasons, then the first batch of new fish nearly all died as a result of Columnaris which took weeks to sort out, leaving me with 2 large mostly empty tanks, with a lot of other things going on including (but not restricted to) my little staffy going on end of life care for skin cancer, a two week holiday, redesign of the garden, fracturing my finger, plus voluntary redundancies at work led me to find a good home for the remaining fish and to shut the tanks down completely
This did not last long, straight away I missed having them and after a few weeks the 350l was back up and running, I will have to stick to one tank until I am in a more secure job so the other one got sold, will do a thread for the resurrected tank shortly, but in the meantime here are a couple of pictures of the new pond, put in this summer as part of garden re design,
It will be good to catch up with you all again
Starting again!
