Re-introducing myself to the hobby

[Aroc2226]

As a child I cared for the usual 10 gallon aquarium. In college I bumped up to a 29 with a single Oscar. We had her for a number of years. As life went on I would periodically set up a tank or take one down due to a move or other life changing event. I always had good luck with them…for the most part. It’s been a decade or more now since I’ve set up a tank. I still have a 200 gallon tank but it developed a leak and I was never able to fix it.

A few months ago I got the urge to set up another. I decided to go small. 29 for now.

Well that’s my story in the short. I’m having issues I can’t figure out and I will start another thread to address those problems.

Hail fellow Montanan. Reading between the lines I would say you know what’s what. Set up your 29 , strip out all the sealant in your 200 and and redo it. Think of the Oscars that would go in there .

Welcome! Always fun to have a fellow westerner on here. (I'm in Wyoming)

Welcome back to the hobby from another Montanan! I'm fairly new here myself, and envious of your 200 gallon. I've always wanted to keep Oscars, just never had a big enough tank.

I hope you can get your problems sorted out soon. I know there are plenty of people here with the knowledge to help with that.

Like @WhistlingBadger I am also in Wyoming but thinking of moving as I don't know if the state can deal with us both... just kidding on that but I AM in Wyoming.

Hello! I wish I was from Wyoming, but I'm in the UK where public sector workers are striking all over the place. The latest group to strike, so I hear, will be the passport workers, so I might never get to leave...
Anyway, I dream of an Oscar for when I retire. She will have a glorious tank and I will spend my days watching her. I hope you get going again - I've just re-visited the hobby and am fighting the urge to buy a little tank for pea puffers...
