Well that was a dirty filter, lots of pollen and stuff trapped in the pre-filter (the pre-filter does a good job).
I cleaned the media (old tank water) and all is now good.
I am considering cleaning the other filter (filter 1) again next week just to get rid of all the pollen.
I have bits of debris now in the water column so I'll let that settle over night before attempting to get the camera out.
I actually enjoy all aspects of aquarium and filter maintenance, even when in pain. ;)

Not the best as I'm familiarising myself with the new camera & software. Maybe I'll do another video soon.

Yay - pics!

The best way to familiarise yourself is practice-practice-practice :) I know you're somewhat of a perfectionist but even a few blurry pics for updates keep me happy :)

I know.
I've been practicing for quite a few years, now and again I get it right. :D

Take a look at my flickr page
I intend to re-visit some of the places, re-photograph with the intent to improve on some photos.
