Hi all
Signed up to a few forums as hoping to get back into keeping tropical fish again after nearly a 20 year break!
Back then I was only a teenager with little to finance the hobby and the lacked the passion to make it successful - (I liked the idea and how it looked but didnāt put in effort to understand principles etc.)
Anyway, Iāve recently had a real desire to set up again and this time do it better - the difference this time I have that much more of a genuine interest and bit more understanding how interesting are ecosystems and how they work ā¦ (though still very much a novice!)
I am a qualified horticulturist by trade - so Iām particularly interested in getting a nice plant set-up in the tank and will be looking for advice for that as this is something that I failed hard with last time (plants kept dying/rotting)
When I kept fish before I had a Rio 240L tank - it was a nice size and from my understanding it can be easier to maintain with larger water volumes.
Iām now looking at tanks from 240L upwards - both new and used. I have a few questions regarding this so hoped youād be able to advise where best to post these.
Thanks very much!
Alex
