If you are happy or grateful for something please post it here
I am grateful that I can still walk my dog, that the sun is shining and most of all for people like my cousin who works for the NHS and is truly in the front line at a time like this
As it happens I have a week of pre booked leave mostly ear marked for the new tank so that was lucky, anyway thought we could do with some feel good pictures so while I am off will try to post a 'happy' picture on this thread every day
Will start with this handsome chap who was on my front lawn yesterday morning
Gosh I have a lot I am grateful for. Although myself and my OH have some serious health problems, we have each other to keep company and we share a similar sense of humour, so our days always include having a laugh
Our house feels like it is falling apart sometimes, lol but it is ours and we feel very fortunate to have a secure roof over ours and our cats and fishes heads.
Also I am grateful and happy we both have a shared passion and love for animals. They bring a joy and purpose to my life everyday. Owning pets is very rewarding and has a feel good factor when you feel you are providing them with a loving home. Our two cats are semi feral rescues. Neither are capable of going outside, they have bonded to us in a way I have never experienced before. Our house has given them a safe home to call their own that they desperately needed
My world isn't very big, so I am grateful for the internet and forums like here.
Yes I feel blessed most days

Grateful to have a job that I can do from home. Incredibly grateful to be well and that my family are also well (barring my sister who has a long-term diagnosis). She is on lockdown and not allowed out at all though
Grateful to have my cats with me.
Grateful to have been out in the sunshine today on my daily allowance of exercise, it was lovely in the sun

Well on the happy side, our garden has spring into life a lot in the last week, and I've been particularly pleased to see a fuchsia that has pink and white blooms (sorry don't know its name) has doubled in size this year already looking forward to see it come out. I'll post pictures later.
...later Pictures! ...when this fuchsia comes into bloom I'll up load some pictures.
This shrub below blooms early February and this year it has had twice the amount of flowers than normal, looked magnificent, should of taken some images either.
Anyone know the name of this 'triffid' please let me know.

STAFFY, He can join "Hoppy" our almost tame Pheasant. We found him on the local moors. He had been shot and lost a leg. So much for the "sportmen" who pay hundreds of thousands of £s to kiil these beautiful birds, during the "Season"!. They just left him to die in pain.
A simple to use calculator for working out how much to dose of a certain product, based on your aquarium water volume and the requirements of your product.
There are two major causes of fish deaths in an aquarium; new tank syndrome and over feeding.
If you take the time to read this you will hopefully not have to deal with new tank syndrome and you will create a healthy environment for your fish.
Cycling a fish tank can be confusing to beginners and experienced fishkeepers alike. If you’ve already read about it you’ll probably still be confused, because most cycling guides don’t really explain cycling in a manner that’s easy to understand. Here I’ll try to explain in simple terms what is essentially a very simple uncomplicated process.
Algae is a natural occurrence that has been present on Earth for over a billion years, thriving in environments with light and water. In moderate amounts, algae can have advantageous effects, such as utilizing ammonia as a food source, acting as a food source for fish and invertebrates, and producing vital oxygen through photosynthesis.
