Hey everyone.

I decided to join a few aquarium message boards because I just re-started fish tank keeping has a hobby. I am somewhat experienced with planted tanks, as I used to have 4. 1, 29G high, 2, 10G, and 1,5G ( this was more of a hospital tank) The 29G was the big show tank in the living area of my place, and it was a fantastic tank. Had lots of great plants, java moss, christmas tree moss, etc, and about 20 fish in it, just general schooling tropicals. IT ran great for over 4 years. When I had to move, I never set any of them back up and ended up giving them away, since I wasnt going to be in a position to keep/ maintain them. Well its been about 5 years since then, and I decided to start once again, this time small. Im doing a 10G fully planted tank, and its going to be low budget, low tech. I'm going to try things alittle differently this time. I spent quite alot of time a nd money on the 29G, and Id like to keep my costs to a minimum for this restart. IF this one is a success, then I will likely move to a 20G Long, which are my favorite size. The tanks I currently have are listed below in my sig.


Looks like a great forum here, and I really look forward to learning more, helping when I can, and all the great discussions, advice and articles! I actually think I had an account here once back when I had the above listed tanks, but I cannot find the old user name, or are any of the email addresses I would have used found in the datatbase. Oh well, Ill just start new again!


Wish me luck!

Howdee and welcome.

The forum isn't normally slow and people usually line up to say hi. I am unsure why it hasn't happened yet. But welcome and I hope you enjoy your time here. Your experience with plants will no doubt come in handy :)
 
Welcome!! Sorry no one has replied :sad: ! I get that sometimes too. I'm new to the hobby but have a variety of other 'kids' as you can see by my sig. Wish you much luck with your new tanks!! Feel free to chat when ever!
I'd like to get real plants in my 29 gallon one day and maybe you could help! :hyper:

Welcome KJ, I haven't been here long myself but I can assure you this site is always hoppin! So many posts go through here everyday that sometimes you just have to shout a little louder (like your 2nd post). I would love to have a heavily planted tropical tank someday but for now I went the Cichlid route and probably won't look back for awhile.

Good luck with everything and keep us posted on your new set-up.
 
Welcome KJ :) You may realise that what methods we guys used to use years ago are now starting to change very drastically ;) Things have certainly moved on in the last 5 years so there may be plenty of more reading to do ;)
