Hi all. I am a retired dual UK/US citizen living in a medieval house in a medieval village in SW France.

Is the house’s wiring able to take on the additional electrical requirements of an aquarium?

They use 220 in France, so it should be ok.

I know Montpazier, I go to Bergerac often.

No, I live in Charlotte, NC, but my mother lived in Bergerac and my sister still does. So I go and visit often. I have been to Montpazier, and I love it.

I had a fish-only tropical tank about 35 years ago and having been reading (including on this amazing forum) for a few weeks, I'm amazed that any of my fish lasted a few days never mind months. Anyway, about to get back into the water and looking forward to learning as much as possible from all of you.
