Hello All

[Tiny7]

Just a quick hello. Used too keep fish just a nice mixed communal tank years ago but lost a intrest and got rid of the lot not really knowing what i had. Wish i could have it all back now....
 
 
Just got another 100lt tank off the tin'ter net. Ordered a couple of bits off e-bay ( filters/airpump ect) so hopefully be here for the weekend and get it started and water/filters maturing abit for fish in the next week or 2..........
 
 
 
 
So hello for now.........

Welcome to the forum.
 
Make sure to fishless cycle your tank - read the cycling link in my signature to find out how.
Please do not just wait a week or two before adding fish, letting the water set with everything running does nothing except ensure everything is running. Make sure you read the cycling link in my signature, if you don't fishless cycle your tank, then you fishes lives could be at risk.

Thanks blondie........!! (Very intresting )
 
 
 
 
And too all for the welcome. Kind of looking through this forum (Which was only looking for fish items on line lol) made me relise i didnt know as much as i thought.....

  Days when you got the tank filled with water and threw the new fish in and turned on and left fed once/twice a day ge once a month are gone

  
 
 
I shall keep looking and learning
 
 
Maybe do a step by step thing of my tank from start too finish few pic's along the way

 

[meandmykribs]

Lots of pics along the way

Hello and 

 
This is a great forum to ask questions on absolutely anything about tanks, fish, plants and other things that I don't know about yet! 
 
Looking around at other posts, you will certainly pick up quite a few good tips, and Blondie has given you the most important one yet, Fishless Cycling is a must.
 
My tip is, if you have not alreay done so, get a decent freshwater master test kit to test your tank water for Ph, Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrates. Liquid test kits are much more favourable than the test strip kind.
 
You will learn, like me, a hell of a learing curve but immensely interesting and thoroughly enjoyable hobby in fishkeeping!

Thanks..................
