Hello

As im new here i thought i would post. My name is Damian, i am 26 and live in East Sussex. I have always been in to fish but never really had the money to buy a decent tank. Until recently when my brother offered me his Juwel Rio 180 for a bargin price.

Here is the tank as it stands now.
 

 
 I do plan to make some changes but these will have to wait until funds allow. At some stage i will be going with an external filter and the making the change to live plants.

Thank you. No sadly not real plants but watch this space. The external filter is more of a must first as i cant stand the look of the external one, and it takes up too much space.
 
The next step after that i think will be DIY 3d background with some nice caves and hiding spots for me plecos. Then ill invest in some live plants and a proper co2 system.

Aloha! Welcome to TFF, keep us posted. I'd be very interested in the 3D background if you make a journal, wanting to do one myself!
