Hi guys,
My Neighbour with this fish has looked over the sugested reading. Going to take a watching brief. If gets any worse then will try some of the options sugested. Not keen on the 'Final' solution at this stage.
Thanks again from both of us

Re: Food and amounts
Timely topic, I feed 3 times a day in main season, mix’s of growth, health and beauty. Fish seem happy but I was considering an auto-feeder, as I suspect I’m overfeeding a bit and not consistent with amounts feed.

Re: Fibreglassing/flowcoat waterfall problem, advice please
Hi Bob, Read Duncan's excellent post on the 'correct' way to configure jap mat, exactly what I intend to do. Hears a question I'm sure you will be able to answer.

Re: Fibreglassing/flowcoat waterfall problem, advice please
Hi Bob, Thanks for the reply. Sounds good. I'm half way through rubbing back the rubbish flow coat I put on last year. I'll finish up and take some more pics so you can tell be if you think I've done a good enough job. The matting is good just as I say a few pin holes so just resin over that. That w...

This went wrong and I have had to rub down to the original flow coat. :( Ques...
