Just popping by to say hi!

I have kept cold water and tropical fish for about 30 years on and off.
After my wife seeing a complete set up for sale at a very reasonable price, my wife suggested we got it.
I had said many years ago I will do it one day so no time like the present I guess!

After getting the tank home and setting it up, the first step was scaping those rocks. I started with the tank dry but the wife being impatient, she wanted to start cycling so about 60%of my rock scaping was done with the tank full! Not something I'd recommend or want to repeat!

Anyway, fast forward 8 weeks later, I'm into the first week of having fish. I have 2 clowns, a cleaner shrimp, 3 bumblebee snails and 2 turbo snails.

I'm looking at adding to it over the coming months and eventually getting corals and look forward to sharing ideas on the forum!

Welcome! Nice tank!
