Newish Fish Keeper

[bitza]

Hello everybody from Cumbria in the UK
 
I am back keeping fish after being away from the hobby for a few years and have just set up a small 90 Litre tank to get my hand and knowledge built up again.  Love this site and I used it all the time in the past.

Thank you all for the welcome

to TFF!
 
Nice to hear you're doing the fishless cycle route

 
Are you using the article on this forum written by a TFF member on fishless cycling or by using a diferent method. Does not matter which fishless cycle method you use as long as the end result is the same

Hi there! Cumbria is such a lovely place <3

Hi, tank fully cycled and have it well planted, includes 3 bronze corydoras, 10 Endlers, 4 Bolivian Rams, 2 Starlight Bristlenose and a Siamese Fighting fish.  Using a Rena 100 smart heater as an intake to my Eheim pro 3-250 canister filter and its all running great.
 
But, I've just acquired a Juwel Rio 180 aquarium that is being resealed as I speak, so all will be moving home soon to a tank twice the size.
 
I used Waterlife Bacterlife together with Biomature to cycle my tank and checked levels with an API master test kit.  Worked really well.
