That'd be a saltwater or marine tank. Beautiful colours but it does take an awful lot of dedication, and money! It's like trying to create a mini eco-system in a tank, as everything in it is living. The corals, live rock and even the substrate.

Ah right, good to know. Yeah the cost shut down the idea for now. When you're at a couple of hundred (on the cheap side as well) before you even begin thinking about the fish, you know it's going to spiral.

Still in the back of the mind though just because a nicely lit tank looks so damn awesome. Adds a touch of class as well.

Definitely, it's like a piece of pretty furniture. Ah sure I suppose the tank and equipment is always gonna be the most expensive part. I just have a 60 litre (2 foot) tank which cost about 100, and it does the job. I would like a massive tank at some point. Maybe when I get my own place

If you ever have some time in London, go check out the aquarium in the lobby of Heron Tower - all kinds of awesome

Went for a jog, did well enough (5k in a little over 35 mins, which is good for me 'cause I'm sick), but I haven't stopped coughing since I got home. :pac: Probably should lay off the exercise til I'm better. :pac:

Im with yeh there is just something mesmerizing about a well done tank I always find it very tranquil, would love one myself someday.

Hmm must remember that, but one I think that often gets ignored and ain't as bad as you would imagine is the aquarium in Bray now im sure compared to the one in London it pales but I've enjoyed it anytime I been there.

That's a well written piece by the journalist. I was expecting a few snarky comments or condescending remarks to be thrown in off the cuff. Good to see And he came across very eloquent himself.

Good piece. No judgement in it which is rare for something like the sun. But of course you can always rely on their readership.

GROSS - I just wished I had not looked at this item - body graffitti and self abuse at its worst.

Marty McFly

To be fair I don't think its just there readership I saw something on Facebook the other day that almost made my blood boil. It was one of these pics that went viral of some man with plenty of face piercings and tattoos, below where loads of comments unemployed, forever single, attention whore, mommy never loved him, freak etc kinda crap the world is full of idiots who are only to willing to spout it. Just glance at any video on youtube or thread on imdb to see how many fools and bigots there are in this world.

Think I've nearly made my decision on what im getting for the tattoo only problem now is im afraid the image may end up being to big .

gregers85

Just watched The Guard. Forgot what a good film it was. Saw it in the cinema the first time and there were three other people. Something awful awkward about watching a comedy when there's so few people that you can hear each individual person laugh.

Cracking film! Wasn't expecting it to be so funny, "I thought only black lads were drug dealers" :pac:


I've just won tickets to Andy Parsons tomorrow, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that yet.

Esoteric_

On the topic of films, saw Identity Thief last weekend, quite funny if you like slapstick, not a bad film. Movie night with my sister after work, she's picking the films though, god help me. :pac:

Angron

Heh, I know that feeling. Was in town renting a movie last night, I wanted to watch something good, my sister wanted to watch that thing about the male strippers.

Esoteric_

So, your sister wanted to watch something good?

Just got into work to find that I have absolutely none of our biggest selling item in stock, something I sell twenty a day of easily. And no delivery til the end of the week... wtf.

Just Like Heaven

Jeez Denny you make it sound like male strippers aren't a good thing :rolleyes:

Angron

I'll say one thing, it's better than what my brother wanted to watch, that Jack and Jill movie that set a record for the number of awards for being crap it won.

I actually quite enjoyed that movie. Must've been the copious amounts of ice cream I had while watching it I usually stock up beforehand too, my bag would have all sorts of chocolate and popcorn in it, fecked if I'm paying 20 or 30 quid for the same in the cinema itself.
