Been keeping fish for over 25 years, ex member of Britsh cichlid association, Lancaster & Morecambe Aquarist society (club secretary) I used to show fish on the FNAS circuit. Due to success on show circuit, was sponsored by Rolf C Hagen (Fluval / Nutrafin) for a short while - appeared in PFK in Nutrafin advertisement endorsing Nutrafin fishflakes (part sponsorship deal) Had a fish house (over 15 tanks) for several years. Amassed a large collection of tanks & equipment prior to divorce (be warned!) Keen Cichlid, catfish enthusiast. Currently experimenting with CO2 injection system for planted aquaria. Currently atempting to successfully (or not) grow planted aquaria using CO2 injection.<br />
