Hello!
I'm Bruno, from France. I've had fresh water tanks since I was young. I'm currently running Eheim Proxima 325L / 85 US gallon which is has been up since 2018. I've added a picture at the bottom in case there's fresh water fans as well. ;-)
I've been reading this forum for a while and been watching BRStv, Reef Dork, George Mavrakis, ... and honestly, there's only so much temping I can take. So today early (or late) Santa brought me this:
He also brought my some other stuff, such as a couple of Hanna meters, some filter equipment, sand, ... I'll be making a trip to my LFS tomorrow to pick up some rock. Guess he didn't manage to fit that in the bag. I'm very eager to get some water in this tank.
I haven't really fixed what I'll be putting in it, but I'm leaning towards 2 clowns and a pistol shrimp / goby duo. In terms of corals, I'll have a look and see what's available nearby. There are several things which seem very popular in the US, but are very hard to get in the EU. Zoas seem to be somewhat less popular, most stores I've been to only have a few frags for sale. However SPSs and real (Indonesian) live rock seems very readily available ...
Besides corals and fish, there's also different kinds of tools and equipment that seem impossible to find over here. I'm looking at you InTank accessories and Cobalt Aquatics ...
I'll make a tank log later on, once I get some water in the box. :)
That's it for now!
As promised, here's the fresh water:
