Hi everyone!
I don't expect anyone to remember me since it's been a long time, but I'm back.
A bit of background about myself:
A few years ago, I started off with a 60L tropical tank. I was completely hooked, and a few months later I upgraded to a 155L Fluval Osaka. Time went on and still completely hooked, I then converted to marine at the beginning of last year. It was a lot of maintenance, both in terms of effort and money, and I didn't really get into it until I got myself some corals around November. Unfortunately, on New Year's Eve I discovered my tank pipework was leaking and not wishing to bodge a fix, nor being able to justify the money for a new tank, I made the decision to give up fishkeeping.
It's now the beginning of July, and long story short, my heart has started to wish for some fishy friends again. It's taken me a long time to reach this stage, seeing as marine look brilliant but are hard work (I'm in a full time job now which I wasn't before, which means I have more money than before but significantly less time), but tropical felt like a step down. However, recently the idea of going back to tropical has grown on me, since I always felt they had more personality than my marine fish, and feel like a cakewalk compared to caring for marine fish. I also really missed the look of green that I couldnt have in my marine tank.
So, there we have it. I'm considering going with a Fluval Roma 90, which isn't huge, but will fit nicely into the space I've got for it. My room is small, and although the 155L I had before fit, technically, it was huge and took up a lot of space. The 90L feels a nice size, as do the necessary water changes.
Going to have to do some reading to remind myself of the stuff I may have forgotten, but I'm looking forward to spending a lot more time around here again
