Ken's Deputy 4,463 Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 Calm the fukk down, idiots! I've been scouring DDG for them, last night and tonight. My fukking Eyes are bleeding! But, I've just happened across what Must be the Holy Fukking Grail, for my purpose! Miniature Sweet Flag!!! (Acorus gramineus Pusillus) I couldn't have fukking made this up!!! Grows Two to Four Inches?! Just Look at this shit! Can't ye just Imagine that, in with my frog? With That fukking background?! O M F G! gentlemen; I reckon I've hit Pay Dirt!!! This shit's beyond my wildest fukking dreams! Now, the only question that remains is: Where the fukking hell can I Get some??? I'm completely fried now. Searching like mad. Keep coming up with stupid little Flags, FFS! Country specific, little wavy fukking things! Any of you lads work in this area? Have wives who are plant mad? Just plain like the challenge of turning the net upside down??? Seriously, guys; I'm all in. Totally Fukked. Barely slept and haven't eaten. But, to source This?! Fukk, yeah! I may writhe in fukking pain, again, tonight? But, I'd be Happy at my core! And, yeah; I've decided on the 'open fronted' design, rather than the 'hole' Can't ye just See this shit, either side? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLATTOP 5,291 Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 Acorus gramineus 'Pusillus' - Artisan Aquatics ARTISANAQUATICS.CO.UK Description Despite not being a true grass, this variety of Acorus (Sweet Flag) has a very grass-like resemblance. It is very slow spreading, and is well placed beside... Dover 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shaaark 11,694 Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 K D, now the frog is sorted, what grasses/greenery are you contemplating giving your birds? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,463 Posted September 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 Frog's Far from being sorted yet, Shaaark! Need a fukking Artist next! Preferably one with an air brush, I'd imagine? See; Plan is to make his 'land' out of polystyrene. (So on and so forth. All clever stuff). But, then I need it painted ~ I mean, Obviously! ~ to look like African ground. See? Now, I happen to have a quite excessively full collection of genuine cammo paints here. I'm weird like that. But, this shit could Kill my frog! It's solvent based spray paint. We can Only use Acrylic, around amphibians, it seems. So; Next fukking mountain, see? (Keeps me going! ) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken's Deputy 4,463 Posted September 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Katch; I've long since looked down that route, mate. (Irony is, I once Had a brush and compressor. Gave them away, unused. Never got round to the purpose) But, nah. It's actually the cost / waste of the paints involved. I'd have to buy so much, just to chuck most of it away ... Then, I'd be stuck with the brush and compressor, again Cheaper to find some kunt and pay Them to do it. It's only an eighteen inch square. Get my three grass pods sorted. Figure out how best to fit those in? I can actually start looking at how I'm gonna build this 'land'! Oh! By the way; That filter I bought? One I was racking my brain about, trying to figure how to tone it down? Baffles and balls? Has a fukking lever on it, to control the flow!!! Fukking Fluval quality, mate! I'm running it in, as we speak, by using it on my turtles pool? Water's like tap! So, yeah. It's taking ages. Time's steadily marching on. But, I'm still creeping forward, look. Blown up print out of the photo's in the post. Grass is in the pipe line. Tank's standing ready. Just need, as said, to hold that grass now. Sit down and Look at it. Visualise how it'll grow to look. How big the holes should be. So on. Then I hire an artist! Just grinning as I look out at my chickens. No one would have believed they'd ever happen either Quote Link to post Share on other sites
