All the plaster has been removed in the areas that require a lateral and vertical dpc.
lateral and vertical dpc installed. The dpc installed is a newer type being used in the last five years, which is a gell base, which is injected into the mortar, rather drilling into bricks and pressurising and pumping in.
partial rendering for tanking under stairs. This is required because the garage floor is higher than the lounge floor.

A very productive first day.

The reason for the lack of posts in the last few months, is on the 11 July 2006, we completed on a new house. Since April 2006, I’ve been very busy with the purchase of a new house.
Yes, and that means the fish house will be moving, not the website, that can stay here, but the fish house will be moving here:- (Our House Blog!).

Whilst the builders were knocking “hells bells” our of the lounge and dining room, we started to paint the first room in the house.
Before
After, 5 hours, one tub of white masonary paint, and one swollen ankle! Thanks to my partner for doing most of the expert painting.
Okay, so it’s not a room, but this is where the new fish house will co-locate to over the next few weeks.

We didn’t like the carpet, we’ve not even had the house 24 hours, and we’ve started knocking it about.
The carpet had to go, because tomorrow I hand the house over to the builders to install a damp proof course on the ground floor, so some of the plaster will be removed, damp proof course installed, tanked, and re-skimmed, and then we’ve got to find a new carpet!

We don’t like the carpet, it’s got to go!
We don’t like the wood chip wallpaper, it’s also got to go!
Umm, damp that’ll be fixed…
we don’t like the yellow walls either…

We finally completed on our new house today and I collected the keys at 1.30pm, and at 2.00pm met the Damp Surveyor.
This is it!
I think I might need a sit on lawn mower! I’ve also found a plum, pear, apple tree and a christmas tree in the garden!
and a petrol hedge trimmer!

I’ve also learnt that another British aquatics company has closed down. There is however a connection with an aquatic retail outlet, that was the sole distributor for System 2000 products.
UK Marines Ltd
- Company No.03809034
- Status: Dissolved 14/05/2002
- Date of Incorporation: 19/07/1999
- Compaies House Dissolved UK Marines Ltd for non-compliance, the non-compliance was not filing regular accounts.
System 2000 UK Ltd
- Company No.03792336
- Status: Dissolved 12/07/2005
- Date of Incorporation: 21/06/1999
- System 2000 UK Ltd applied to be struck off.
System 2000 Ltd
- Company No.04550968
- Status: Active – Proposal to Strike off
- Date of Incorporation: 02/10/2002
- System 2000 Ltd applied to be struck off.
The Registered Office addresses for all the above limited companies are
507 BRADFORD ROAD
BATLEY
WEST YORKSHIRE
WF17 8LL
or variations of the above
FOUNTAIN MILL
503 BRADFORD ROAD
BATLEY
WEST YORKSHIRE
WF17 8LL
System 2000 Ltd have voluntary applied recently to be struck off, but this has been suspended, because of a Third Party Objection.
The above information was obtained from Companies House Cardiff and is in the public domain.
This triangle of companies all seems a little bit suspicious in my opinion, but it’s a shame that these professional products have bit the dust, leaving many customers with no support or service.
I feel let down, as a System 2000 user, that regularly visited Batley, to purchase spare parts, there was never any mention of a closure. I’m sure they had their reasons.

About 2 years ago I acquired a Glyptoperichthys gibbiceps or “Sailfin Pleco” from a local tropical fish shop in York which needed some tender loving care, it was really poorly; sunken eyes, and a grey/white covering over its fins. This didn’t appear to be fungus, but the fish was clearly not deporting well, with clamped and torn fins. This was the picture of the fish.
I’ve been waiting 2 years for it’s sailfin to grow back, and it had almost grown back, I was going to take some pictures and produce a “before” and “after” shot for the blog, when the same fish was struck down by a sudden bacterial infection “fin rot”, which started to eat away at all it’s fins, it only affected this catfish in my display tank, so it was immediately moved to a quarantine tank in the fish house, and dosed with Melafix, and large quantities of cucumber for 7 days, and I happy to report, it’s fins are recovering well.
