Hi to everyone
I'm David. 34 years old from East Lothian, Scotland, but born and Brought up in Edinburgh. I'm totally new to fish keeping ( if you discount the goldfish I had as a child ).
I have really wanted to keep tropical fish for many years and finally after lots of nagging/psychological seed planting etc etc, my better half shocked me a few weeks ago by saying I can get a tank for my Christmas. I couldn't believe my ears. After confirming that she wasn't winding me up, I have spent hours and hours reading up and measuring up in the house to see how big I can go. Living in a flat with not a great deal of space to play with, and having to resist the temptation of suggesting my partner get rid of some of her stuff to allow me to accommodate a bigger tank, I / we have decided on the Fluval Roma 90L with the new style cabinet.
I will get it on Christmas Day and the fun will then begin although, now that I am on the steep learning curve of a fish keeper, I realise the hard work I will have to do before considering putting fish in the tank. I will no doubt have many questions, most of them stupid ones, but look forward to starting what looks to be a great hobby.
All the best,
David.

It's fantastic to hear that you're doing your research first 
It'll save you a lot of hassle in the long term. If you click on the link in my signature it'll take you to our Beginners Resource Centre where you'll be able to find any information you could possibly need about cycling a tank. And if you're not sure about anything, head on over to the "Your New Freshwater Tank" section where people will be able to help you out, and don't worry, any question about starting up is never a stupid question!
