New Fish

Just bought some new fish, bright orange Comets. I've also filled out the back of the tank with some new plants as things were low after the algae attack earlier in the year. Here's a current pic:

Very soothing :_)

Fishtank


Thought I'd post a photo of the fish tank. I have a minor issue with some black flowering algae at the moment, and a population problem with the Neon Tetras. There are only three of them left. Having started from eleven, it may be time to go get some more. That'll keep the Angels happy. You can see them up front of course. Show-offs.

Other Interests

To complete the background info I'll round out with some other interests.
I like whiskey. My favourite affordable whiskey is Jameson, but I'll buy 12 year old Glenlivet if its on special. I quite like an Islay malt occasionally too.
DIY home renovation. You know, I started off really not liking this, but it's so different from everything else that I do, that I'm really quite enjoying it. I've built a deck surround, a built in office-desk, and most fun, destroyed and removed an entire kitchen!
I enjoy riding my Razor scooter in and out of work. Mostly I take public transport, but the last leg home is all downhill on a 3 kg aluminium board. Yah!
Parties. OK, I don't party like it's 1999 anymore, but I enjoy many drinks with friends. Many.
I keep tropical fish. I have two Angels, two Clown Loaches, a bunch of Neon Tetras, some catfish in a 250L tank. They're purty.
I try to keep up with current science advances, although I don't understand as much as I'd like to. This kind of ties into my love of tech in general. I wanted to do a combined degree (Comp Eng) with Physics, but the schedule wouldn't pan out. I'm a LHC fanboy!
