Welcome back!

a nano tank is a great idea,i used to think, " oh ill get a little tank" be easy, lol what a joke, they are much harder to look after by comparisin, and if anyone can, you can biff, you sound like you have really been down in the dumps,but you have to hit rock bottom before you can go up again, i know that from my own diffrent experience. but all the stuff that you have been through and then losing your beloved tanks on top, must have knocked you for six! and you are obviously a very strong person to be " getting on with it again", i hope and wish everything improves for you biff,and would love to see the jurnal of your nano (if you decide to do one) and if theres anything i can help with just give me a shout ( not that i could teach you anything but y`know what i mean lol)

hugs and kisses

hiya biff, really sorry to hear about that. i was facing a similar situation myself a while back, had back problems which the docs couldn't diagnose for about 7 years, they were talking about wheelchairs and having to stop work and so on/ luckily my one last gasp with the physio seems to have worked but i was v scared for a while. So I can imagine how horrible it's been for you, and to loose your beloved pets on top of that is awful.

however i've seen some ingenious designs for low/easy maintenance tanks and set ups designed so people in this sort of wheelchair can still enjoy the hobby. I hope with a bit of time and researh you find a way to make this work for you so you can get back into the hobby you love.
