Got a tank for my birthday!

[Pellington]

Hi all!

A quick intro as I have just joined the forum

I kept marines between 2007 and 2012 but then I decided to leave the hobby when my first child was born. I absolutely loved it and I have longed for a tank ever since. You can imagine my delight when my wife bought me a 300 L freshwater tank a couple of weeks ago for my 40th birthday!

I'll be honest, having kept marines and having been used to the bright colours of the angelfish, corals and tangs, I was initially unsure whether I could get as excited by a freshwater tank as i previously was with a marine one. But with my tank now up & running, planted and busy cycling in the background, and with me in the middle of planning my stocklist, i can safely say the passion for fishkeeping has come back with a vengeance!

I have posted my stocking plans on another thread and would welcome any thoughts that anybody has. Here is the link: https://www.fishforums.net/threads/stocking-help-for-planted-discus-tank.476578/

Thanks in advance and nice to meet you all!

Welcome- I'm new too, but am enjoying the forum. I share the love of the aquarium- I stare at it all the time. My wife says it's my mistress LOL.

Do you have any old pictures of your marine tank?
