Hi folks

[sharkbait]

Hi I've just got into tropicals after coming back to England from a year in Oz living by the ocean. Scuba diving every few days there. I simply miss the critters.
So far so good, three dead tetras but it seems to have settled down now and the water quality is pretty good. ...But I've got lots to learn.

I know what you mean I lived in Aus for a while, diving the barrier reef in the day and sleeping in the daintree rainforest that night WOW, but my trip put me off fish, anything bigger than a Molly gives me the willies now!

The size fish can get are scary......especially the reef sharks I saw, Very sharp at one end I hear! So I went and lived in Canberra, no sharks there!

I met some 2-3m long grey nurse off northern NSW. Seriously bitey looking sharks but harmless........or so they say...
......I'd need a bigger tank though.

bloody funny city canberra, everybody seems to leave on friday night.
and the diving's lousey.

Thing I found about Canberra, (and a few other "planned" modern cities - Brasilia springs to mind), is how far apart everything is, masses of open spaces, parks and gardens, all very nice, but you want to go from your office to a restaurant for lunch via your bank to pick up some cash, you need a car, and set out at about 10:30! No night life in Canberra.

For diving, I based myself at Airlie Beach.

Welcome to the forums by the way!
