Greetings TFF!
 
Thought it was about time I signed up to a forum :) have been an enthusiast for many years in both marine and freshwater. About 3 years ago I put my fish enthusiasm on hold due to a bunch of other commitments. Now it is time to brush up om my knowledge and start again.
Had a 700litre marine aquarium up until 2 weeks ago - I was babysitting my father's marine life while his house was being built. The decision for myself and my partner on whether to keep the tank marine or convert to freshwater was a tough one, however we've decided to go with freshwater. We are currently in the process of cleaning out the tank in preparation for freshwater life. 
 
See you guys around! :)
 
G'day.
Welcome to the forum.
Lots of Aussies here, you'll see them around. :)
I'm not too far from you :p
 
Your tank sounds amazing!
I can't wait for pics when it is all set up!
 
Awesome! A few years back my friends dad had a 1136 liter tank. Thats 300 gallons for us here in the US. He gave it to us but few months ago we decided a tank that big was too much to handle. We gave it all away for free. (Ikr. We didnt need or want the money)

You can give me advice then too. Cant wait to see you around!
 
Thanks everyone! :)

Good to hear there are a good amount of Aussies on here :D
Started taking pics today so I'll stop uploading them some time this week. Went and bought some stuff today so I'm pretty excited now :)

Awesome! My dad had a 1500litre marine before he moved house, he's downsized to a 900litre now with his new house (that he had built) and had a dedicated nook put in so it fits perfectly, looks sweet! I actually took a couple of pics on my phone today so might upload them later on.
 
G'day from another side of Australia as well ;) Cannot wait to see some pics of your tank!

It was amazing :) I am very very excited!! Having a 100litre simple freshwater just doesn't cut it.
Backing on the tank went in yesterday, sand is going in today then water tomorrow! (I've been taking photos of the journey so will post up a log

). Today after work I will be adventuring in search of some driftwood :D
