Hello From New Jersey

[throttlethumb]

Hello,
I thought it was time I introduced myself after a week or so of lurking. I have been in and out of the aquarium hobby my whole life starting with a 10 gal community and ending up with a 90 gal with a green terror. Through the time I got good and bad advice from the lfs' in my area so I still consider myself an amatuer. I got out of it in the mid 90s and jumped back in for my son (6 yrs old). We have a 30 gal breeder from perfecto that houses 2- 2inch fan tail goldfish. I figured they would be a great starting point for my son. The tank cycled rather nicely with the help of BIO SPIRA. Something that wasnt around when I was first in the hobby. The tank is gravel with about 15 fake plants, an aqua clear 50 filter, a marineland heater (I come to find out that the tank really didnt need it) and a whisper air pump. I have enjoyed watching and caring for the fish along with help from my son and girlfriend. I have read many great posts here and would like to thank everybody for their advice. Now back to reading.

Hi
Welcome to the forums.
Glad you are finding them useful

Throttlethumb and congratulations for getting back into the hobby.

Glad to see you've gone for a big tank for your two little goldies too - so many people make the mistake of squeezing them into a tiny one.
