When i use the site om my phone there is so many adverts not related to this site overlaying the area where i need to log in. If i manage to get them moved out of the way and log in, all is fine and I can use the site without any problems.

Does anyone know of a good ad blocker for phones that I can use to get rid of all the adds. Example below:


This is pretty annoying and I dont think...

I am busy looking for a new tank in calssifieds section and I noticed that all the ones worth buying sits in Cape town and I am based in JHB, I was thinking it would be nice if we can maybe have sub threads maybe based on location or change the for sale tomplate for the subject to maybe have the general location in like Gauteng - JHB or Mapumalanga - NLP or something like that?]]> 2 Removal of threads.

Is there enough interest on brackish water setups to have it's own forum? How do we motivate for it?

Think it would be quite cool to have a shrimp section on the forum.

Since the change in laws a couple of years back, the variety of shrimp has skyrocketed and more and more people add a couple of shrimp to their tank.

I believe a subforum for shrimp would be ideal to share knowledge and learn more people of the cool little critters. As the share a very similar setup as most fish, but with a few key differences that a lot of people overlook!

The old information on the site also...

I just returned to the forum as I plan to start up another tank once I'm in the UK and settled, I've missed aquascaping so much that I'm now watching videos and reading on everything that I may have forgotten about.

So is it just me or is the alerts not working? I just got a reply to the one thread but no alerts appearing. Just only the alerts for the competitions that you guys hold every month.

Now that I'm here, it seems that the alerts aren't working. Any idea of why this is...

Hendre is stepping down from running the monthly competitions this year as he needs to focus on other things. A huge thank you to him for volunteering to run the comps previously. :thumbup:

Is there anybody else that would like to volunteer to run the 4 monthly competitions for 2019?

How it works is when you reach a certain number of posts then your User Title gets changed.

How about if we changed that to names of fish instead. Maybe scale it up in terms of difficulty or rarity or something like that?

For example, a new member can be called a Guppy,...
