I've even disabled all my add-ons, and nothing.

I'll just turn on my Kindle Fire and see what that shows......


Aha! The page loaded as on my laptop then 5 seconds later another section loaded with the blog.


So, why can't I see the blog on my laptop?
Windows 10
Waterfox
All add-ons disabled.

Perhaps this is something for @Matt to investigate...

OK, I think I'm getting somewhere.

If I just disable my add ons for that page only, I get nothing. But if I go to Tools -> add ons and disable them completely, I get the blog. Now to find out which add on is blocking the blog.......


It's Privacy Badger. And it only blocks one tracker on the Scape Easy page - Facebook. I've just tried disabling PB 'for this page only' and the blog now appears. I wonder why doing that didn't work before?
Also, opening the link from here in a Private Browsing window blocks the blog as well. Presumably Private Browsing doesn't like linking to Facebook?

From what I can tell, that behaviour is specific to Privacy Badger... Private Browsing works ok for me too... sorry I'm not sure I can be of much help here as I can't replicate that!...

Privacy Badger blocks cookies that appear to track the user from one site to another. The only cookie listed as being blocked in Scape Easy is Facebook. If I disable PB for that page, Facebook cookie is no longer blocked and the blog appears.
Does the blog page contain a link to Facebook?

But using Waterfox's Private Browsing, even with PB disabled the blog is not there. And Firefox behaves exactly the same way that Waterfox does. (For those who are unfamiliar with Waterfox, it is basically the same as Firefox before Firefox 57 changed things)


(As for Thinkfish, PB blocks google-analytics and skimresources but allows thinkfish.api.oneall.com)

The bit on the page where me and Donna are talking (the bit you were missing) is run off Facebook servers. It basically is a Facebook page. This will be why it has been blocked then.  Sorry but i don't have the technical know how to create the site any other way other than stealing Facebook's features so that people can post to the site like this...

Now that I know how to get round it, there's not a problem  :) The only trouble was finding the cause.

This is how the tiger barb tank is looking this morning.
Please excuse the pink thread holding the moss onto the tunnels, and the large rock balanced on the piece of wood that is refusing to sink.  ::)
I'm hoping I can start to put the fish in over the next week or so.

Wow - that looks absolutely amazing. The tiger barbs are going to love that major refurb.

I'm chuffed to pieces with it, and I can't wait to get some tiger barbs in there, I think they are going to enjoy exploring everything.  ;D
All credit has to go to @Matt for his design, tutoring, and patience. I've told him that I still stop to look at the tank and wonder how something that looks so professional has ended up in my house. I couldn't have created a tank like that without his guidance.  :cheers:

Wow that looks fabulous.

I'm seriously thinking about how I can re-aquascape my tank without completely pulling it apart! Or having to temporarily rehome the fish.

The blog has given me lots of ideas.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the tiger barbs behaviour is in this new tank - will it be different?

And also to you doing the next tank...  :o

An update on the tanks.

Although the axolotl tank can't be properly planted, they are ok with anubias, so I have used several types to give a bit of variety. I have also used anubias attached to mopani to create what I refer to as their "anibias shelves" on the back wall of the tank, which they seem to enjoy using.

The river tank can't be aquascaped either, but I will be putting some more rocks and wood in that tank, and will post pics when it's done.

Tiger barb tank
I have trimmed the plants and replaced the moss on the left hand tunnel. I think I let the original moss dry out while I was attaching it, and it never recovered.
The gold TBs finished quarantine this week, so they are now in the main tank with the standard and green ones.
They have all settled in, and I'm considering putting some amano shrimp and horned nerite snails in while the fish are still so small.
The tank looks quite under-stocked, but it will give the young fish plenty of room to grow.  :)

South American tank.
http://scapeeasy.co.uk/advice2.htm

Poor @Matt has managed to re-use the mopani wood I had, and created a forest diorama.
Large pieces of wood have been used vertically as tree stumps, with thinner pieces creating root structures.
The planting looks like a forest floor bursting into life after the old trees have gone, and the sunlight can finally reach the floor.
Although this is a smaller tank than the tiger barb tank, the planting is more intricate, and I think it feels as if there is a lot more going on.
I've not used carpeting plants before, and I found them a bit challenging. As you may be able to see for the picture, I didn't plant them deeply enough, and quite a few are floating at the surface.  :-[
There are several plants in this design that I've not used before. I now have a massive soft spot for marsilea hirsuta and hottonia palustris, and wouldn't be at all surprised if they were used again in some of the other tanks  ;)
This tank will eventually house the black and white South American fish, including Harri the female BN, black neon tetras, and the marbled hatchets I purchased today.
I can't wait to put all the fish in the tank.  ;D

I agree - every one of those tanks look fantastic. For me, admittedly, I've relapsed into it all being about the fish with the aquascaping aspect having fallen off the bandwagon and few live plants, but looking at each of yours - the aquascaping aspect is as exciting as the fish aspect, speaking of which those tiger barbs are stunning and almost petrol blue in colour.
