I didn't find my first newbie-post, so it must have lost in the war. But well... I decided to introduce myself again.

I am a 24-year-old girl from Finland, I've had aquariums for almost 15 years now, about last 10 of them have been the serious kind, being an aquarist, I mean. I have tried almost everything there is to try in the fresh water tanks. Last few years I've been really into planted tanks and I have been studying everything that has something to do with plants, evolution, biology and stuff. And now I read stuff about yeast, nutrients, snails, algae, light spectrums and such.

You can call me a geek.

When I'm not sitting in front of my tanks or reading something, I am online doing something aquarium related or just playing with Photoshop or ircing. Oh, and btw, if you people want to have a chat with me sometime, you can find me from ircnet, usually from channel #aquaweb where all my other finnish aquarist friends are too. If you are not sure how to get to ircnet, try http://www.ircnet.org and follow the instructions. :)

I am single and searching for my Prince Charming. I have a peculiar sense of humour and most of time someone don't understand what I am trying to say. Or at least doesn't want to. I have some weird pictures of myself here: IRC-Galleria - rain-. There might be some naughty ones, so not for the youngest ;)

My native language is finnish so sometimes or most of the time my english is a bit weird.

I just tore apart two of my tanks (2x160 liters), so I have only 7 aquariums now, holding 885 liters of water. In many of them lives some of my boys who have all kinds of different colours in them, black, white, red, pink, blue and they have crowntail genes. I also have some sort of Caridina shrimps, a crayfish, honey gouramis, white cloud mountain minnows, Otocinclus, silver tipped tetras, Corydoras pygmaeus, Corydoras robineae, Glyptoperichtys joselimaianus, Dwarf Puffers, lots of different Bettas, 7 snail species and over 50 plant species. I'm sure I forgot someone, but well, no-one remembers everything. I have my own website, but it's only in finnish, http://satuj.aqua-web.org/

Here's some topics you might find interesting:
Setting up a new tank, 500l
A decent picture of a fish!
Käähkä, a brother of Kelli
Crowntail called Kelli
I did it again...
Dwarf Puffers

I like this forum because there are so many good mannered people. Well, actually, you all are nice and friendly and I feel like home here. I am here to learn and to help others if I can. And to brag with my bettas, of course :flex:

I like being here and I like you, yes, you, the one reading this text. Thank you all for making this place so nice and comfy.

:wub: :hi: and Wow, you look fantastic. The tanks are nice as well.

yes i'm single :*) , male and English. :angel:
 
Oh :*)

You know, this forum is like another home to me. I am starting to neglect other forums I read, even the finnish one where I have always been a regular and almost part of the staff.

I'm just going to a little vacation again (when you are in, uhm, long sick leave, you can always be on vacation ;-) and perhaps not as much in here than usually. But I haven't forgotten that algae thread with the pictures you all are kindly sharing with me :)

Have a nice summer, people.
 
Welcome again to the forum, rain-!

I loved reading the thread about setting up your new tank, and your photos are wonderful!

It's good to have you with us :)
